Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

I just wish I had a frog suit with a Blues Brothers’ suit to wear in solidarity with both Portland and my home state.

First of all, is this f*cking real? (Not just the Trump part; who the eff is the leader Israel needed and how Gaza HEALS? Did Israel freaking write these headlines?)

Second, I can’t help but notice how un-scarred Trump’s ear looks. Amazing given the maxi pad he needed to wear last summer.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

So turns out I still have a threadless shop for those “flannel of lesbians” WN shirts etc I had made last year. Totally forgot about it.

Anyway… I’m going to close it but in case anyone is interested in an item before I do…

BREAKING: Some of the layoffs at CDC are being REVERSED.
Here is my updated story.
www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

More than 1,000 CDC staff receive layoff notices during government shutdown

Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

Also @govpritzker.illinois.gov why is this happening. Illinois is my home state and I have been very proud of the way you have stood up to Trump and against his overreach with the national guard and ICE… but why is the state police acting like protestors are the enemy?

shawn @mulchy.bsky.social · 4d

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

multiple people arrested.

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov perhaps you should have state police set up license plate verification checkpoints to confirm everyone in IL is in compliance with state law? And if anyone (cough*ICE*cough) refuses to prove their vehicle has registration, well… it could be impounded under state law. 🤔

Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 4d

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

This is quite a split screen:

➡️Trump & RFKjr layoff the top two leaders of the federal measles response team as part of CDC purge
⬅️Measles outbreak expands, hundreds of unvaccinated children hit with highly contagious disease

C.D.C. Layoffs Included 2 Top Measles Experts Amid Rising Cases

Scientists who focused on other infectious diseases, like an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, also were let go.

A bubbling measles outbreak in the upstate of South Carolina has forced 153 unvaccinated children out of the classroom and into quarantine for a minimum of 21 days.

More than 5,000 federal employees have received layoff notices. We’re working to ensure that the administration isn’t using state voter rolls to target registered Democrats for termination. More details soon.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects.

In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill.
