Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Mike Johnson telling reporters that he expected to enact more “rescissions” in the coming days. Rescission is the process of canceling funds that Congress has already appropriated

Please post this item to show the world that Chicago is a peaceful city today 10.12.25 rooting for the marathon runners. The @nytimes.com had a pathetic article in their 'athletic' section. Should be front page news all over our nation.

Congratulations to all the runners today at the Chicago Marathon!

I hope you’re taking a moment after crossing the finish line and enjoying all that the best big city in the nation has to offer.

Andry Hernandez Romero — a gay asylum seeker, makeup artist, and survivor of political violence — trusted the U.S. asylum system. But, he was deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador. No trial. No hearing. No justice. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

ProPublica is, of course, a legitimate and ethical journalism organization with deep reporting resources. I realize Stephanopoulos is pressed for time, but with journalism under threat right now, I'd love for a little more pushback or a full-throated defense of fair and accurate reporting.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 7h

STEPHANOPOULOS: ProPublica reported that several members of the Trump administation have similar questions about their mortgages

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog

S: Do you dispute the facts they reported?

VANCE: I haven't read it. I have no idea. I certainly question the source

Kamala Harris: "The Supreme Court made the decision that the president would be immune from any of his conduct while in office. So we went into the election with this individual, Donald Trump, knowing that he would essentially be immune from any consequence for misbehavior while in office."

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal.

Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000

Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food

It’s always projection. Every prosecution is an admission.

Tweet from Angry Staffer: “Great. I’m looking forward to Ken Paxton’s indictment.”
Below is a news headline: “Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence.”
A second tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel says, “There simply cannot be, and will not be, different rules for different people.”
