Eisenhower oversaw Operation Wetback which is a model for what ICE is doing right now.

Literally Dwight Eisenhower led the American fight against fascism and then was twice the Republican president of the U.S.

Vought has blocked CFPB staff from doing their work, and is also charging CFPB $5 million for his bodyguards. So technically, they are protecting one consumer.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

NEW: The People’s Law Office is representing Debbie Brockman, the WGN producer who was detained by feds.

“Ms. Brockman and her legal team adamantly deny any allegation that she assaulted anyone. Rather, Ms. Brockman was the one who was violently assaulted by federal agents on her way to work.”
Statement on Behalf of Debbie Brockman, WGN
Employee Assaulted by Federal Agents

Debbie Brockman, the WGN employee who was physically attacked and arrested in Chicago, Illinois by federal agents on October 10, 2025, would like to provide the following information to clarify any misunderstandings or misrepresentations that have been previously reported.

First off, Ms. Brockman wishes to clarify that at the time of this incident she was not acting in any professional capacity as an employee of WGN. During the morning hours this past Friday, Ms. Brockman was walking to the bus stop as part of her morning commute when she was attacked by Border Patrol agents.
Ms. Brockman, who is a U.S. citizen born in this country, was violently detained on Foster Avenue, on the north side of Chicago. As this occurred, individuals on the street began recording the incident and asked Ms. Brockman her name. In addition to providing her name, Ms. Brockman stated that she worked for WGN. She added this information because she hoped someone would notify her employer so her coworkers would know that she would not be arriving at work that day.  
Ms. Brockman was detained and held in federal custody for approximately 7 hours before being released. She has not been charged with any crimes and she intends to pursue all legal avenues available to her to vindicate her rights and hold the federal authorities accountable for their actions.
Ms. Brockman is being represented by attorneys from the People’s Law Office in Chicago. Ms. Brockman and her legal team adamantly deny any allegation that she assaulted anyone. Rather, Ms. Brockman was the one who was violently assaulted by federal agents on her way to work. Ms. Brockman feared for her life multiple times throughout this terrifying experience.
“This incident should be alarming and horrifying to every single person in this country,” said Brad Thomson, one of Ms. Brockman’s attorneys at People’s Law Office. “If armed, masked, federal agents are sn…

The only "wave of violence" being perpetrated is coming from the masked fascists kidnapping our neighbors and friends, tear gassing our streets, and threatening anyone who tries to speak up.

Statement from AG Pam Bondi:
Statement from AG Pam Bondi: 

“Today following outreach from the DOJ, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target ICE agents in Chicago. 

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.”

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

This was always how it was going to end. A good chunk of MAGA doesn't pay for any news source and Fox is only successful due to carriage fees that force non-viewers to pay for its programming.

Like we're all making fun of what CBS paid for TFP, but 170k paid subscribers may be the high water mark for every right-wing publication not named WSJ.

There just isn't an example of a major outlet increasing its ratings or circulation by taking right.

This is mostly where I'm at. I'm hopeful that Schumer recruited her because Platner has some skeletons in his closet that they don't want falling out a month before the general as was the case in WI in 22 with Barnes.

I’m not thrilled about Mills running for Senate at 77 either but getting Collins out is no joke and if Platner can’t win the primary he didn’t have the juice for the general anyway
