@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

And they are now trying, with the help of the Republicans in the House to get the Democrats to fold. Johnson is even putting on his ‘tragic’ face. If the Democrats fold people’s insurance will be unaffordable. And then they’ll blame the Democrats. This is so warped I can’t even…

Approximately 60% of those deported were U.S. citizens, including American-born Latinos and Mexican Americans. The deportations were often done without due process and have been described as a form of ethnic cleansing due to their racial basis and disregard for citizenship. /7

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Allegations against Paul Ingrassia, a key Trump nominee, become even more serious

Ingrassia’s odds of being confirmed as the next head of the Office of Special Counsel were poor. His chances now appear even worse.

An important reminder for upcoming elections.
.

If you are turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don't walk away.
Say this: "I request a provisional ballot as required by law." Don't let anyone steal your vote.
