Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.
This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Exactly right!
It’s no wonder the three branches of government no longer check each other. The Roberts Court, Trump, and the Republican House/Senate caucuses are all on the same team—shadows of the same shadowcasters.

Critical piece of the Kimmel story:
Nexstar (owner of many ABC affiliates), wants a favor from Trump. They want to do a $6.2 billion mega merger that flaunts anti-trust laws.
In return, they took a top Trump critic off the air.
Brazen corruption.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...
Nexstar’s takeover of Tegna would require an overhaul of FCC ownership rules - Poynter
The proposed sale would exceed the FCC’s 39% cap, igniting debate among broadcasters, unions and press groups
