Pritzker’s Joint Command brandishing chemical weapons is an escalation. He’s ratcheting up the pressure to shut down the Broadview protest, so ICE is free to rampage in Chicago.

NEW — Both Broadview police and Illinois State Police aggressively pushed demonstrators back behind the barricades during today’s demonstration.

They didn’t deploy teargas or any other chemical agents, but some carried pepper ball launchers.

No troops in Broadview yet, but anti-ICE protestors say state and local police used intimidation tactics in crowd control • The TRiiBE

Several hundred demonstrators gathered in Broadview to continue calling out the federal government for its aggressive immigration enforcement and the treatment of detainees at the facility.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

Since its FOIA Friday, I’d be interested in the rental car receipts for these vehicles they’re plowing through traffic all over the country. Wonder if DHS is springing for the damage waivers or paying out huge bills on insurance claims from the rental companies.

Brick by brick, we will turn this place into something beautiful

The atrium of an abandoned building with graffiti tags on the pillars and the wall. The sun from busted ceiling is hitting the wall just below the windows

A dilapidated room with a maroon tag and green and white ceramic wall.

In black it reads: Don’t be another brick in the wall

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

It is a crime to lie to federal agents.

Instead, you can invoke your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, and your Sixth Amendment right to counsel, by saying “I cannot answer any questions without my lawyer. Please leave your name and number, and a lawyer will call you.”

You do not have to let them into your house without a warrant.

You have no obligation to speak to law enforcement or answer their questions, and it can be dangerous to do so.

The Pegulas are pox on WNY. We invited the wolf in sheep’s clothing in and we have not known peace since.

It pains me to see what the false promises - on and off field - have brought.

Governors need to figure what they’re going to do about state an local cops. Cops doing “crowd control” (read: arresting demonstrators) is helping the regime and the secret police.

Sometimes I got out and I do not see much, other times there’s a Batman room in an abandoned building

A room with every wall covered from floor to ceiling in graffiti. What stands out in the this room is The Batman animanted series characters drawn. Here riddler, Batman and Joker are visible

Continuing along the wall on the right in the previous picture is more graffiti and Penguin and Harley Quinn
