I mostly share people smarter & more articulate than I. Sarcasm & inappropriate humor likely. Music helps me remain sane in a world that is not. Peace.

How it's going in Chicago

After ICE arrested US citizen and WGN Producer Debbie Brockman

Agents driving the white van cut off and hit another car, swarmed the vehicle at gunpoint, dragged out the driver-who is ALSO a citizen-and arrested her, too

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

I have a couple of comments about Paul Ingrassia's lawyer, who sounds like a lawyer who would be hired by Paul Ingrassia.

First, vagueness in legal threats is the hallmark of legal thuggery. Notice the letter does not identify a single allegedly false statement of fact in the Politico story.

Paul Ingrassia is now threatening to sue Politico:

“This vexatious political attack masquerading as "journalism" is defamatory and will be addressed in forthcoming litigation.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Re: Statement on behalf of my client Paul Ingrassia regarding last night's story, Key Trump nominee accused of sexual harassment, POLITICO (Oct. 9, 2025), https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/09/ingrassia-trump-harassment-dhs-
00596545
POLITICO's hit piece about Mr. Ingrassia is calculated to cause maximum harm to his promising career — and torpedo his nomination for Special Counsel. This vexatious political attack masquerading as "journalism" is defamatory and will be addressed in forthcoming litigation.
To be 100% crystal clear, so that there is zero room for doubt: Mr. Ingrassia did not engage in any wrongdoing in connection with the matters reported. As POLITICO itself reported: "The woman, whom POLITICO is not naming, said in a statement that she 'never felt uncomfortable' about Ingrassia's behavior and said she had never made a complaint." This is one of the only accurate parts of POLITICO's otherwise fantastical and fictional partisan fairy tale.
Accordingly, one last time, I call upon POLITICO to publicly apologize and issue a full retraction of this disgraceful and partisan sludge.

Nevadans could see their premiums jump from $595 → $2,021 a month — a $1,425 increase for the same plan.

That’s what happens if Republicans refuse to act and let ACA tax credits expire. Families can’t afford these hikes.
