“Our monthly premium is $443. It’s going up to $2224. We’re kind of in shock. Both of us have worked our whole lives.”

These are the people Burchett & @MarshaBlackburn refuse to help, even as Marge says Republicans should work with Dems to fix this. #TrumpGOPShutdown

The pardon shows howTrump & his friends benefit from his rollback of the wide-ranging crypto crackdown orchestrated by Biden. Mr. Zhao hired lawyers & lobbyists with ties to Trump, while Binance struck a deal with World Liberty Financial, Trump’s crypto start-up.

I'm a SNAP recipient. They only give me $107 a month, but I need it to eat.

And I need you to remember that Republicans are in charge. Republicans have agency. Republicans, Republicans, Republicans!

The #TrumpShutdown is NOT ON DEMOCRATS. Republicans will cave—or not. Either way, this is theirs.

A thing about the east coast is that even the women are gonna hand you your ass on a platter. The blow up costumes are nice but we do it different over here.

Polka dot is just out there tussling with ICE on her lunch break.

It's not just what Andrew Cuomo is saying—it's who's funding him.

The single largest donor to a pro-Cuomo SuperPAC is Airbnb cofounder/board member Joe Gebbia, who promotes vile and racist messages about immigrants.

I guess where I’m landing is less “oh no he’s a Nazi” and more “I just went through this shit with Fetterman and Sinema and a six year term is too long for me to take on faith that your Nazi tattoo was the accident but what you’re saying now is the truth.”

If you need a whistle, please drop by our office (7016 N Clark Street) to pick up one for free.

If you see ICE, blow three short bursts.

If they are detaining someone, blow three long bursts.
If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

West Ridge this morning, 11:37am—

Neighbors witnessed Border Patrol agents arresting a man who's been building a new staircase on their building.

"Wait, this is private property," the woman recording says.

"No, it's not," the agent replies, covering his face with his jacket.

As most are aware by now, ICE is slamming the north side today. They've been seen in Andersonville, Rogers Park, West Ridge, Edgewater + Evanston. Several people abducted, agents still active.

MAGA Republicans & corporate Democrats who opposed Biden’s student loan forgiveness because it was “unconstitutional” are quite as a church mouse now that Trump is giving $50K student loan forgiveness to join ICE.

Haven’t heard one House speech, one lawsuit, or one media interview opposing it. Smh

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

this 💯 all true.
The SV playbook. Break zoning laws (Airbnb,) have workers cheat on certification exams (Zenefits,) break labor laws (Uber et al.)

If it causes any kind of problem? Lobby. Contribute. Rinse and repeat
