In 2017, we only had 6 Democratic trifecta states.

Today, we have 15 Democratic trifecta states and we control even more mayorships and city councils.

There’s enormous opportunity to go on offense to protect our rights & offer a safe-haven to red state residents under threat: indivisible.org/guide

"Rubén Gallego, Elizabeth Warren, & others introduced the "No Argentina Rescue Act," aiming to prohibit the use of U.S. funds to financially assist Argentina's economic crisis. They argue that prioritizing foreign aid over pressing domestic issues, such as healthcare costs, undermines US citizens."

Good! We don’t need to be bailing out Argentina to support Trump’s wealthy banker friend! What happened to putting America first, huh Trump?!
Thank you @gallego.senate.gov!

Republican budget, Epstein Files, so many lawsuits, so much BS piling up. Very crowded in the swamp.

Simon Rosenberg @simonwdc.bsky.social · 2h

Where is the Republican budget? By law it was required to be passed and in place by Sept 30th. Anyone seen it? Got any idea what might be in it? Why the f-ck is the House taking a month long vacation without getting their work done?

Dems ready to negotiate. Rs remain on vacation.

If you have a student w/ an IEP you know how difficult it is in some dists. to implement an IEP, a Sec 504, or get an evaluation. 🫂

“The Individuals w/ Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) still stands, & everything kids are entitled to still stands. It will just be harder to get them"

Special education oversight, civil rights enforcement hit hard in Education Department layoffs

All workers except a small number of top officials are being fired at the office that implements the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the employees union said.

They way ICE is using in Chgo is warfare.

#TearGas was banned in warfare by the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), but it remains legal for domestic law enforcement & civilian use for riot control & self-defense. The CWC makes explicit exception for the domestic use of riot control agents. "

I believe the mayor of Broadview called them. The whole neighborhood around it is residential, one family homes. Imagine living there among all those toxic chemicals ICE lobs around as if the supply is endless.

When a President repeatedly claims he has been reviewing video evidence of one of America’s great cities “on fire” is it too much to ask him to cite his source so we the people can review it as well?

If they were looking for criminals they wouldn’t be at schools or immigration hearings

The government’s own data and detentions like the ones we reported on in Chicago raise serious doubt about whether the Trump administration’s mission is to target “the worst of the worst” at all. New reporting from @msnbc.com. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

Nice headline but...not Trumps tariffs. Guy is a F'in albatross.

"Officials from the U.S. Depart of Ag, which runs WIC, told congressional staffers they were using $300 mil in unspent tariff revenue

from the last fiscal year

to keep the program afloat, two people briefed on the call told AP. "

The WIC food program receives $300M to keep running during government shutdown

The Trump administration has provided a $300 million infusion to a food aid program for low-income mothers and children, easing concerns about funding during the government shutdown

Cleveland is definitely not playing Machine Gun Kristi's political TSA video. No screens anyway. Didn't see it in Chicago either. Apparently PDX refused to play it…

Can't say 100% but this would be reported in local chi news. I follow that closely.

There was a citizen tazed early in the occupation. His elderly father was deported,.he was released. I'm sure he has moments of seeing death as possibly a blessing after all that.

Very Sophie's Choice.😔🤬
