In Illinois, ICE agents have been documented swapping license plates to hide their identity. Under Illinois law, this constitutes a Class A misdemeanor.
The state has made clear that this law will be enforced. Federal agents are not exempt from Illinois vehicle and registration statutes.

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.
But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.
If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Michelle Obama always keeps it real. That’s why we love her.

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

After 20 years in the Navy, Buzz Grambo thought he'd spend his retirement playing video games and watching baseball. Instead, he patrols the streets of Baltimore to protect his neighbors from ICE. He even upgraded his scooter to a Segway that reaches 26 mph to keep up with the agents. My latest:

⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin

⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine

Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

Won’t matter how bad it could possibly be because his base will justify his actions. If he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it he could molest a child and they will turn their heads. IMPEACH and find him guilty, 3rd times the charm.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.
12 days of work in 103 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Pet owners are refusing rabies vaccines because of ‘pawtism’ fears. Anti-vax conspiracies have gone so far off the rails they’re endangering dogs. Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms start. Misinformation is spreading faster than the viruses these days.
