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.

Rick Wilson, @therickwilson.bsky.social, has a great piece on what will happen after Trump dies. Among the gem comments is this:

“History will learn about the shell companies, the overseas accounts, the backroom deals where American policy was auctioned off like a Mar-a-Lago dinner table.”

DOJ withheld evidence from the grand jury which would possibly negate the charges against Letitia James.
Halligan claimed Hames was going to rent the property as a second home but James never rented it. She lived there.

As you head into your weekend, please set aside just $10 for Sandy, who needs to pay a home aide to help her do such basic tasks as eating, bathing, and using the commode. It's week to week as to whether Sandy can afford that help to get her though her final days.

Thank you for your kindness.

They cannot talk about the shutdown without lying.

There is no connection between troop payments and federal employee layoffs. Zero.

They are paying the troops with multiyear R&D allocations within DOD. This is also illegal by the way! But completely disconnected to the layoffs.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 9h

WELKER: During the 2019 shutdown when Trump was president, no federal workers were laid off. Why are these firings necessary?

VANCE: Who do we care more about- federal bureaucrats or the troops getting the payment they need?

WELKER: But layoffs are a priority?

VANCE: They have forced us to choose

The “No Kings” protests, now a national movement, aim to surpass previous records with over 2,400 events nationwide. Millions have already joined peaceful demonstrations to defend democracy, sending a clear message: in America, there are no kings—only empowered people.
