It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

I’ve posted about the Epstein files every day for many months, I write about the Epstein files every day, and we talk about the Epstein files every week on the pod.
And I won’t stop until the full, unredacted (except for victim/witness info) files have been released.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.
If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

A lot of people are going to learn a lot about Charlie Kirk tomorrow. They will read his own words and see video clips.
Then they will ask why corporate America, the NY Yankees, the mainstream press, and MAGA valorized a man who spent his life committed to hate.

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
