NEW: Cardinal Blase Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, has issued a new statement declaring that Chicago "communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants."

Statement of Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, on Standing with Immigrants
Oct. 21, 2025
My dear brothers and sisters, today I speak to you as your shepherd, but also as a fellow pilgrim who shares the pain of many of our immigrant communities. Families are being torn apart. Children are left in fear, and communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants.
We stand with a mother who crosses borders to feed her children. We stand with the father who labors in silence to build a better future. We stand with the young person who dreams of safety and a better future. Our parishes and schools will not turn away those who seek comfort, and we will not be silent when dignity is denied in the enforcement of the law, it is essential that we respect the dignity of every human being.
Now I want to say something directly to those immigrants without documents. Most of you have been here for years. You have worked hard. You have raised families. You have contributed to this nation. You have earned our respect. As the Archbishop of Chicago, I will insist that you be treated with dignity. Americans should not forget that we all come from immigrant families.
You are our brothers and sisters. We stand with you.
God bless you all.

More investigations that lead no where. The regime knows they have an open road and no barriers for their HEMIs. SCOTUS paved the way….its feeling like there is nothing we can do. 8.1 million marched on 18 Oct and they put out an AI video of TacoTits McCankles dropping his diaper on the country.

NEW: The State of Arizona sues the House of Representatives, demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson seat Adelita Grijalva or that someone else be allowed to swear her in. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Because there is no dispute as to Ms. Grijalva's election or qualifications, the Court should:

B.
Issue a declaratory judgment stating that if Speaker Johnson has not administered
the oath, the oath may be administered to Ms. Grijalva by any person authorized by law to administer oaths under the law of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the State of
Arizona; and
C. Award other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Dated: October 21, 2025
Respectfully submitted,

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

In Portland, protesters have started putting up flyers with photos and info of right wing influencers showing up at rallies. They list names, social media handles, and arrests tied to recent events. It’s not harassment — it’s a warning to the community about people who travel city to city filming, provoking, and twisting chaos into viral content.
Reports from Oregon Public Broadcasting and The Guardian show these influencers have built large followings by showing up at left wing protests, recording moments of tension, and pushing it online as proof of “antifa violence.” Some have ties to far right networks and even connections with government officials.
They have freedom of speech, but protesters have every right to protect themselves. Transparency like this keeps people safe and keeps the focus on the message, not the agitators trying to profit off division.

Democratic congressional candidates nationwide, feeding off voter fury, are raging against their leadership and vowing ruthlessness against their own establishment.

"I am not a 'when they go low, we go high' kind of girl,” said TX state Rep. Jolanda Jones. “If they go low, I'm going to the gutter."

Enraged Democratic candidates turn on their leaders: "You've got to be able to fight ugly"

"If they go low, I'm going to the gutter," one Democratic House candidate said.
