Me and my partner's "Bronze" health insurance plan with Florida Blue is increasing from $511.22 a month to $1,711.75 a month next year. Not quite sure how to fit "$20,541 a year in health insurance premiums" into the budget.

If you need a whistle, please drop by our office (7016 N Clark Street) to pick up one for free.

If you see ICE, blow three short bursts.

If they are detaining someone, blow three long bursts.

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

Why is Trump protecting other pedophiles in the #EpsteinFiles?

Because they likely have evidence incriminating Trump as an insurance policy.
