Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

There is a problem with crime & violence in Chicago, Portland, LA, DC; Trump's heavily-armed poorly-trained masked paramilitary is the one doing the crime & violence, not stopping it.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

What ceasefire? What "historic" peace deal? Israel is back to killing and starving Palestinians with support from U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Trump got played and is playing corporate media.

Gaza ceasefire outlook darkens as Israel delays aid and Hamas tightens grip

Israel restricted aid into Gaza and kept the enclave's border shut on Tuesday while re-emergent Hamas fighters demonstrated their grip by executing men in the street, darkening the outlook for U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war.
