ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital.

“He has Constitutional rights.”

“No.”

ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

but
an app that alerts you to nearby ICE raids has been removed by Apple on demands from the Trump administration.

Mike Johnson swore in newly elected Republicans earlier this year when the House wasn’t fully in session.

But now he’s refusing to do the same for Democratic representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

I don’t think many realize how prescient and relevant the movie 9 to 5 was, and is. Though blanketed in comedy, the real story of what women had to experience and suffer through in the workplace was overlooked. Mind you, it came out just a few years after women were finally given financial autonomy

Have you ever gone into a debate without doing all of your homework and then resorted to the 'dog ate my homework' argument?

Want to see what happens when a Newsmax anchor tries it about #DonaldTrumpsShutdown?

BEHOLD:

Going on Newsmax2 momentarily to explain why DONALD TRUMP OWNS HIS SHUTDOWN because he is only doing it to make healthcare more expensive to help his pharma executive and health insurance executive friends.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

S: Those are quotes

#TrumpsGovernmentShutdown will affect YOUR healthcare.

Millions of Americans will lose their insurance coverage - we simply won't be able to afford the huge $pike ⬆️ explosion next month.

Dems are fighting to save our healthcare; Trump refuses to even meet with them.

This shutdown is on Trump.
AMERICA'S SHUTDOWN SHOWDOWN
Insurance premiums are about to spike for everyone - because millions of Americans are losing coverage
Dems are fighting to roll back Medicaid cuts and lock in ACA subsidies for families

James Comey is many things to many people.

BUT HE IS NOT A CRIMINAL.

He investigated Trump's Russian ties which were a mafia derived back channel to Putin to advance a project to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

He was politically incompetent and swung a presidential election.
