The DHS propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown is peak hypocrisy from the party that fired federal workers and now threatens to fire more. They gut paychecks, spread lies, and call it freedom. It’s political thuggery. Call it out.

Trump is rigging maps to build a Congress that serves only him, not the ppl.

@AOC knows the power to stop him is in CA’s hands—Prop 50 is how we fight back & win.

Vote #YesOnProp50 today & return your ballot ASAP (latest by Nov 4)-no stamp needed. Get it done, join the fight to defend democracy.

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog

A Latino man was already inside. Witnesses say she was accused of “obstruction.” Her response? “I didn’t obstruct.”

The agents then sped off, clipping a car, blowing through a red light, nearly hitting a CTA bus.

This was a kidnapping in broad daylight by armed thugs targeting a journalist.

Rush hour. Lincoln Square.
2 Border Patrol thugs tackled a WGN-TV producer to the pavement in front of horrified commuters, handcuffing her, face-down.

Debbie Brockman, a journalist with WGN since 2011, identified herself before being dragged into an unmarked silver van with New Jersey plates.

Reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do."
