Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Trump does not honor the 1st Amendment Rights, unless it is for his own practical use.

It disturbs him when "We the People" stand for our constitutional rights the founders believed in them.

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 22h

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

Another shutdown casualty: Medicare telehealth coverage

It's got bipartisan support—and millions of Americans need it. But Congress keeps failing to lock in telehealth funding.

UPS just said it cut 48,000 jobs this year.
Here’s why that matters:

💰 The company is making record profits;
📈 Its stock rose after the layoffs.

When a company calls that “savings,” it’s not efficiency — it’s putting profits way over people.

No surprise Trump likes playing soldiers with, flexing the Nuclear weapon and the weaponization of the National Guard to control civilian unrest.

Krassensteins @krassenstein.bsky.social · 21h

BREAKING: Trump has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces nationwide by January to respond to civil unrest within the U.S.

Ask yourself why no other president felt the need to do this.

Meiselas: Donald Trump just got schooled by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. Powell said that based on how Donald Trump is harming our economy, it is far from a foregone conclusion that there will be further rate cuts. Hide that ketchup bottle from Donald Trump.

So that is a DECISION the president is making on his own to ALLOW people to go HUNGRY." - Senator Peter Welch on SNAP Cuts
