Thus far, ICE and CBP in the Chicago region killed an immigrant

Shot a woman 5 times-after allegedly taunting her, saying “Do something, b****”

And shot a priest-who wasn’t remotely a threat-in the head

So when does Governor Pritzker deploy the National Guard to protect citizens from these thugs

I’m just going to keep repeating that undocumented immigrant workers actually _help subsidize federal programs for everybody else_.

In 2022 alone, they paid $25.7 billion into Social Security and $6.4 billion into Medicare—both programs they can’t access due to their legal status👇🏽

Oh so the guy who made up gross lies about immigrants STEALING AND EATING PETS has more thoughts about immigrants? I’m sure he’s totally telling the truth this time.

They’re Lying, Dividing, And Distracting. Don’t Believe The GOP’s Shutdown Hype

“This isn’t about health care for undocumented immigrants—that’s already against the law," said Sen. Mark Warner. "It’s about the fact that Republicans are intentionally skyrocketing your premiums.”

Making an unsubstantiated official claim like that so publicly seems a little unhinged.
But what's new.

Ope.
A 44 point swing?

Trump’s approval rating plunges with low income voters

Low-income voters appear to be shifting sharply away from Trump, largely driven by economic pressures and rising uncertainty.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Trump calls for ICE and other cops to enforce his executive order banning flag burning, something that’s blatantly unconstitutional given Texas v Johnson (1989), which established flag burning as protected speech.

To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all U.S. Military: As per my August 25, 2025
Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison. You will be immediately arrested. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I'm not James Comey and my family and I aren't in the crosshairs like he and his family are. This is powerful.

But I want to add: Fear may be the tool of a tyrant, but being afraid is not capitulation.

You cannot be brave if you're not afraid; bravery is doing the right thing anyway.

Be brave.

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment

"My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump...But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either...And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

Trump doesn’t get to “give some of the tariff money to farmers.”

The tariff money is in the US Treasury, not a Trump slush fund.

Congress has to appropriate taxpayer dollars to put farmers on welfare.

Although Trump should pay it out of his crypto profits since he caused it.

Trump turned Jimmy Kimmel into a hero for free speech.

He’s about to turn James Comey into a hero for standing up to vindictive political prosecution.
