Disturbing footage out of Hoffman Estates, Illinois — ICE agents violently pulled a teenage girl from a car, slammed her to the ground, and pinned her face down with a knee on her neck. “I’m 15!”...

So far this week, I’ve agreed with MTG, Laura Loomer, Matt Gaetz and Tucker Carlson. What is going on here?

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Trump & Russ Vought are breaking the law — using illegal mass firings to strong-arm Congress into letting health care costs skyrocket for families.

If they want to end this shutdown, they can tell Republicans to end their vacation.

I’ve called on the U.S. GAO & IGs to investigate.

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

You’re daily reminder that YOU continue to look away while you told the rest of us not to. ICE is ignoring civil rights. And you look away while counting your AIPAC money. When ICE comes for the Jewish will you finally speak up?

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

"Depends on the Narrator."

The "narrator" is supposed to be you, @nytimes.com, narrating the factual truth here, instead of regurgitating a deliberate falsehood as if it was a different legitimate perspective on the truth.

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 1d

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

I am honestly unsure at this point if the government will ever open back up in its previous form. The RIFs coupled with what will likely be massive nationwide protests on the 18th is, I think, going to push Miller and co. into trying to create an alternate structure to consolidate more power.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I really think the Democratic caucus needs to head up to Mikey’s office and start knocking on the door. Calls to convene the House on social media aren’t going to cut it
