A photo of a U.S. Marine Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion helicopter flying at José Aponte de la Torre Airport on Sept. 12, 2025, in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, overlaid with the headline, "The U.S. Isn’t Even Bothering With Its Usual Lies to Sell Its Regime Change War in Venezuela" and the DEK, "The days of justifying American military intervention anywhere in the world are on their way out."

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

Lying liars gonna lie. It is also illegal to alter the White House without a review first. Surprise! There was no review. Impeach him and remove him from office.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

Oak Park resident Scott Sakiyama reports feds pointed weapons at him across from an elementary school today. They then arrested him and took him to Broadview. While in custody, he saw agents texting in a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2."

Full testimony: www.facebook.com/share/p/1GqB...

This morning masked ICE agents pulled me out of my car at gun-point, threw me in the back of a van and took me to their facility in Broadview. I had been following the van down Harvard honking my horn and blowing a whistle to alert the community that ICE was in the neighborhood.

Just across from Lincoln elementary school, where my daughter is in second grade, they jumped out of their van with guns drawn and threatened to smash my windows.

They removed me from my car and drove me to Broadview.

They tried to determine if I was an American citizen (I am). After sitting handcuffed in the van for about 30 minutes, they issued me a citation for "impeding" them, claiming I cut them off (which is not true). They then drove me back to my car. While in their van, I could see they were receiving text messages that were part of a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2." They also stated they also spoke to someone on their phone saying they were going to meet someone else near where they were dropping me off, and that they were going to proceed to conduct enforcement activities with that person.

D.C. has a judge or two that could swear her in, right?

If Republicans can casually ignore precedent, so can Democrats.

Speaker Johnson has no right to stop duly elected representatives from taking office.

Call a press conference on the capitol steps, and swear in Democratic Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva - NOW.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

If you see someone acting with violence, sit down. This makes them more visible as the perpetrator and local police can pinpoint their response.

Federal officials arrested a northwest suburban police officer Thursday for allegedly overstaying a tourist visa.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said it detained Hanover Park police Officer Radule Bojovic in a “targeted enforcement action” as part of the president's deportation blitz.

The man hired as a suburban officer last January became the latest person caught up in the federal sweep for unauthorized residents.

Billionaire corporations are already seeing the money roll in from the giant tax giveaways Donald Trump and the Republicans stuffed into their Big, Beautiful Bill.

What about working Americans? They're losing their health care, and their costs just keep going up.

It's shameful.
