My youngest goes to Lane Tech, where parents and teachers have been having to patrol the perimeter to protect students. You wonder if dragging a caregiver out of a daycare screaming, in full view of small children, was just too unimaginably ghoulish to anticipate and prepare for.

Chicago all day every day now. I'm not even sure the rest of the country realizes what it's like here now.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

COUNT I

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

Trump is obsessed with Letitia James because she prosecuted him in 2022.

He’s obsessed with Rosie O’Donnell because she insulted him in 2006.

Can you imagine if someone ever tried to shoot him? He’d never shut up about it.

Big Tech oligarchs are coming for your job.

Jeff Bezos will be replacing 600,000 jobs at Amazon with robots. His vision: fully automate operations.

Amazon's not alone. That's the direction of every major corporation.

AI & robotics must benefit workers, not the top 1%.

Parisa Salehi, a longtime government watchdog known for uncovering fraud and waste, was abruptly fired by Trump. The administration cited “changing priorities.” Her dismissal is the latest in a sweeping purge of inspectors general.
