Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Just black cat things.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Every Congressional Republican needs to answer: Do you support the President's call to imprison the Governor of Illinois and Mayor of Chicago?

Trump is not a king. This is not acceptable. Do Republicans want a dictator or a President?

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

NEW: Illinois Gov. Pritzker announced President Trump intends to federalize 300 state National Guard troops “in the coming hours" over objections from state and city leaders.

We resolutely condemn this potential escalation. It's a power grab meant to intimidate and torment Chicago's communities.

This is totally unacceptable. An actual elected official called for the execution of a U.S. Congresswoman.

That is sick and wrong. Republican leaders need to condemn this heinous call for violence, and there needs to be real accountability.

I stand with @jayapal.house.gov.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.

This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Portland is a beautiful and vibrant city—it is not a war zone.  
 
The President needs to keep the military out of the Pacific Northwest.
 
This is yet another abuse of power. Leaders across America—in government, business, everywhere—need to push back.

No ads, huge variety, great originals and the best curation anywhere. I’ve also seen 2 great theatrical releases from them this year 🎥

Hours after we sent a letter signed by over 450 artists and 40K others defending free speech, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel will return to air.

Other companies should heed this warning: We the people are watching.

😻😻😻

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target
