NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

Recently, Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi that was meant to be a direct message. I want to know what other official messages he's sending to cabinet members.

Can we PLEASE stop with the jokey "Chicago is a war zone!" resistance posts? They end up diminishing and playing down the very real terror that too many Chicagoans are dealing with today

Just about everyone vulnerable has been told to stay inside. There are literally hundreds of trained emergency response people on the streets of the 1.8 sq mile neighborhood. ICE is driving through alleys looking for anyone who’s brown

This is Fugitive Slave Act stuff + foreign occupation

Northernmost lakefront n’hood in Chicago

Home of Loyola U (RIP Sister Jean)

One of few n’hoods w no racial majority. One of the most densely populated places in America, & one of the most racially/ethnicly/religiously/linguistically diverse

An amazing community

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

Feds arrest one person at the Portland ICE facility at around 7:30. The reason is again unclear, but it was likely for stepping over the blue line. They were dragged into the facility by five agents while one filmed.

They'll never do it, but Portland's public transit cards are Hop cards & I would love to see this design on one. "Taking Tri-Met to a protest? We have a Hop card for that."
