ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

If you’re wondering if you should check in on your friends and family in Chicago, yes you should. We are not okay. None of this is okay.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Since the first night of Chanukah falls on Christmas Day this year, I’m sharing a photo from holidays past. Also, a tree is a little too risky this year with kittens in the house! Wishing everyone a merry, happy, peaceful, relaxing and delicious holiday season, if and whatever you’re celebrating.

My 80 minute flight was delayed by just over 3 hours last night due to an “operational issue”, but the updates were frequent and clear and before I even had a chance to get too mad, United had sent a link for a meal voucher. Thanks, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg!
