Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Just wanted to share this graphic from KFF, the green sliver in this pie chart indicates the amount of Medicaid Spending for Emergency Medicaid in 2023. It's (0.4%) of the total Medicaid budget. Undocumented immigrants sometimes receive Emergency Medicaid.

A mostly blue pie graph with a sliver of green to indicate the amount of money spent on Emergency Medicaid - it is only 0.4% out of $860 billion.

Rachel relays reports of a brutal, militaristic raid on an apartment building in Chicago, and shares video included as exhibits in a new lawsuit showing ICE agents violently attacking a Presbyterian minister among protesters outside of an ICE facility, shooting him in the head with a pepper ball.

Holding off the Russians means “finding ways to compensate for Ukraine’s desperate shortage of manpower,” Robert F. Worth writes. Kyiv has found ingenious methods of staying in the fight:

Ukraine Might Be Winning Its War of Attrition

Russia assumed time was on its side, but a new Ukrainian strategy is yielding surprising results.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Both fascists (Trump & Miller) are provoking the nation to start a civil war. We don’t want to give them what they want, but we want them to face justice and get locked up.

Trump followed through on repeated threats and authorized hundreds of National Guard troops for deployment to Chicago Saturday, making it the fifth time the president has federalized state Guard troops against Democratic-led cities.
