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.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

There is no insurrection in Portland unless you consider an uptick of people wearing inflatable frog costumes an insurrection.

No one is falling for this absurd propaganda, and there is NO justification for deploying our troops against peaceful American citizens.

WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act?

VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control

W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland

V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly

1. interview a game designer
2. play a one-shot with their game/setting
3. have chill fun vibes?

If this is you, DM us!

Premium increases notices will soon arrive in the mailboxes of Americans all over the US.

The average increase? 114%.

For some, the numbers are even higher:

A couple making $129,000 with two adult children at home in Savannah, GA, will pay $3,150 more per month for insurance.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back.

Attorney General Bondi recently threatened to put me in jail. Now, the President has threatened to put the Illinois governor and Chicago mayor in jail.

This is about as authoritarian as it gets.

The most of those funds went to roughly 7% of farmers. The richest ones who voted for Trump because they want lower taxes on land.

They knew this buyout would come back around.

And, even if they have a labor shortage, they are making money by doing nothing.
