Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

I’ve been staring at this Otto Dix painting called “Mother and Child.” It depicts a mother and son during post-World War I Germany. I wrote a piece for my podcast but it’s so haunting I’m going to wait for tomorrow
The proper response to, “Let us pray for the President” probably isn’t, “I don’t want to bother God. He’s too busy right now”
Spread the Gospel. Stay safe.

After 8 a.m., Illinois State and Broadview Police let protesters into Beach Street according to witnesses. Then a slew of baton-wielding ISP officers entered the street, forced protesters off the street & arrested multiple people. Now folks r on sidewalks

Police escalated the situation here in Broadview incredibly quickly. Saw multiple brutal arrests. ISP jabbing protesters with their batons like battering rams.

Here ISP lifts @katmabu.bsky.social by her feet to flip her over a concrete barrier.

Do the journalists in the room ever work together to insist upon an answer? Like...ever?
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.
I thought it was a bridge denture
We're risking a new war in South America. And people aren't talking about it
