Not sure what others think but seems ICE has escalated in the Chicago suburbs as their activity lessened in Chicago. They obviously haven’t left the city either but seems they’ve gotten even more aggressive in the suburbs.

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."

Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff spent five hours with Putin. No State Department. No Secretary of State. No NATO partners. No cameras. They walked in with “peace” talking points and walked out with nothing. There was no real negotiation, no plan. Every serious proposal was rejected.

Daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Hold him and everyone involved accountable.

The survivors deserve justice.
The public deserves answers.
The predators deserve consequences.

Support survivors, not predators & accomplices.

Schumer unveiled Dems’ plan for a health care vote next week: A 3-year extension of ACA subsidies.
