This is a terrific round-up of JD Vance's terrible, no good Sunday Show spin today from @rollingstone.com:

"J.D. Vance struggled to defend the Trump administration’s decisions when journalists asked him basic questions during a round of TV appearances"

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, Dodge
J.D. Vance Tried to Evade Journalists’ Questions. It Did Not Go Well
The vice president could not give a straight answer to inquiries about Tom Homan's alleged acceptance of a bribe, Trump's claim that J.B. Pritzker is a criminal, and layoffs at the CDC

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

They routinely lie to the media, then drop or file no charges when no one is televising them.

The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

These guys are absolutely going to shoot more people.

They’ve already killed one man, shot a woman, and we’ve seen a pattern of pulling firearms on unarmed people doing nothing violent or illegal over the past few weeks.

Clearly they do not care at all about the temporary restraining orders.

Witnesses said they heard no warnings and none can be heard on videos, @chicago.suntimes.com reports

Federal agents deployed tear gas after Albany Park residents protested to their attempts to detain a resident of the Northwest Side neighborhood, @vimiller.bsky.social reports for the @chicago.suntimes.com

Feds deploy tear gas in another Chicago neighborhood: 'We chased federal agents out of Albany Park today'

A federal judge’s temporary restraining order requires federal agents to issue two warnings before using riot control weapons such as tear gas. Witnesses says they didn't get any warning.

I think all it does is put you on a mailing list. They might then be able to create a “user profile” associated with your email address and your use of their website.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.
