Per @chicagotribune.com, the pajama-pants-guy is a former county prosecutor.

And he had some things to say. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

A different video captured after agents unleashed tear gas showed plumes of smoke billowing down the street as the crowd's piercing shouts and whistles reached a fever pitch.
Onlookers scurried to the sidewalk to get away from the chemicals, with one neighbor, Brian Kolp, seen walking away barefoot and in Chicago Blackhawks pajamas.
Kolp, 41, said he was drinking coffee on his couch and watching the news as he always does on Saturday morning when he saw what's become an all-too-familiar scene unfold outside
his window.
Two U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents were tackling a man to the ground on his front yard.
Meanwhile, Kolp's TV continued to blare a news segment discussing the ongoing temporary restraining order restricting federal immigration agents' use of tear gas.

Kolp, a former prosecutor with the Cook County State's Attorney's office, sprang into action as he sometimes wondered he would have to do
throughout the Trump administration's
"Operation Midway Blitz" these last two months.
He didn't even have time to put on his shoes or change out of his pajamas, he said, drawing jeers from one of the agents as he screamed
"Nazis!" and "Gestapo!" at the agents.
"Quite honestly, when all this started happening, I thought to myself that if the opportunity ever came my way to have to get involved in one of these situations, I was certainly going to do what I could to make sure that they weren't openly and flagrantly violating the law or the Constitution," Kolp said. "And yet, they just went ahead and did it anyway."

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

It's utterly incomprehensible how arbitrary and unfair this administration is treating not only federal workers, but people in disaster zones. Red states get disaster recover funds. Blue states don't. A learning lesson for a deep red county in MD that was flooded but denied $33M in aid.

It’s pretty fucking hard to make sense of us giving $40 billion to Argentina’s federal government when our federal workers are standing in fucking breadlines here at home.

Is this the world you want for your daughters? Cuz the “fetal personhood” movement is a nationwide strategy. They will eventually ask SCOTUS to rubber stamp it in a bid to criminalize abortion nationwide. The “states’ rights” argument was always BS. And Trump keeps giving them judges. See Missouri.

Jenny Cohn @jennycohn.bsky.social · 7h

“So far this year, lawmakers in at least 12 states have introduced legislation that would treat fetuses as people and leave women who have abortions vulnerable to being charged with homicide – a charge that, in several of these states, carries the death penalty.” 4/23/25 … 1/

How idea of charging women with murder infiltrated the anti-abortion movement

‘Abolitionists’ have migrated out of the fringes and moved toward the center of movement alongside Republicans’ penchant for punishment

The clock is ticking. Keep your eyes and focus on what needs to get done for the election. Keep phoning Congress, funding candidates, supporting law firms that fight election manipulation. $10B to build big detention centers for deportees; who goes there when they are gone?

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”

MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com · 1d

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Heavens knows I wouldn't want to cause any issues, but if merely applying for an ICE position can get you thousands of dollars, it might be a way for laid off federal workers to get something to cover a lack of paycheck!

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 2d

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.
