Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.

This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

I endorse this platform. Our attorney daughter killed herself last year. We had no idea the depth of her suffering. We’d have moved heaven and earth to help her if we’d known.

I’m in a long running text group with 2 other guys, both retired doctors. They exchanged these messages yesterday:

“I plan on walking Honolulu in December. Interested?”

“We’ll be hiking in Chilean Patagonia in December. Raincheck?”

I suggested they meet on Rapa Nui.

“One working mother of a 7-month-old told me she pays $2,000 a month in child care. She said it would be more profitable to stay home with her baby than to work without knowing when she’ll be paid again.”

I just finished attending a meeting of the top people in the United States who are working together in a consortium to apply innovative new approaches to try and cure blindness.

The vast majority of those people are foreign born Americans or visa holders here in America, or people of color.
This is a bad idea. Recruiting talented people from other countries is a good thing. American universities have been very good at it in particular. Recruiting talented people tends to benefit everyone. We should keep doing it. I am speaking in short sentences for the benefit of the Governor.

Stagflation is the combination of high inflation, stagnant economic growth, and elevated unemployment.
Stagflation

The Fed Chair is describing stagflation but does not want to say the word.
Powell: "In the near term, risks to inflation are tilted to the upside, and risks to employment to the downside -- a challenging situation. There is no risk-free path for policy as we navigate this tension between our employment and inflation goals."

2nd in line to the presidency, yet consistently has no idea what’s happening in the country
Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown.

The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files.

They've killed our government to save their pedophiles.
A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

DHS posted this video two hours after I asked about the viral photos of Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino.

The portion where he does hand signals is from Bovino leaving court in Chicago yesterday.
