NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Since he refuses to be president to all of us, he can't be president to any of us. Remove him and release the Epstein files

I didn't see her standing. So I'm wondering if the thing she is doing is something like knee or hip surgery. It would certainly explain why she would need to cancel things and stay close to home. And why she indicated she put stuff off while her husband was ill. Well wishes to Dolly whatever it is!💙

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Except, there would be no photos of him leaving Walter Reed, getting on Air Force One, or getting off Air Force One, or meeting with anyone over there. That won't quell anyone.

That would be the best case: he goes, the doctor has to admit him he is so bad, and his people have to explain why the healthiest felon is now hospitalized.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Nancy Pelosi dog walked the felon during the last shut down when he had his weeks long temper tantrum about not getting money for his wall.

Once she took away his TV privileges and revoked his SOTU, he folded 48 hours later.

Mike isn't fit to wear her stilettos- no matter how much he may want to.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?
