Nothing says “man of the people” like adding gold trim and a shiny sign outside the Oval Office. Somewhere, Marie Antoinette is whispering, “tone it down.”

Don't take the bait.
People all over the country need to understand that federal agents are not in Chicago to prevent violence – they're in Chicago to cause violence.
(from the inbox) Less than an hour later this morning, just before 10:30 at Roscoe and Harding, feds again released gas as they were driving away, unobstructed, from a relatively small number of neighbors.

I love this story so much! Student journalists FTW.
Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Coach is PISSED! As she should be. That game was out of control.
Cheryl Reeve RIPPED the refs as expected:

"This is the look that our league wants for some reason. For the leadership to deem those 3 people, semifinals playoff worthy is fucking malpractice"

(🚨) The first-ever pop song about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is now on all major streaming platforms.

Be warned: It is explicit, it goes extremely hard, and it is a banger.

You can listen to it for free below.

Let's make this go viral.

I'm so disappointed that the #lynx lost after having a 20-point lead. 😢

How do you dismantle something that isn't mantled?
Makes sense for him to be so hostile to anti-fascism.
