Early voting is underway! A long line was waiting outside the Haggard Library in Plano Monday morning.

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

Q: Can you name a time when you voted against Trump and it changed the outcome? SUSAN COLLINS: At one point, I had organized people to vote against Sec. Hegseth. At the very last minute one of our Republicans changed his mind. Otherwise he would've been defeated. Q: So it didn't change the outcome

🎯🎯🎯

Former special counsel Jack Smith: “Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation.”

Susan Collins voted to give ICE and CBP $70 billion. She owns the consequences of that vote.

Chicago History Museum will be free on Tuesday as an escape from the heat

Trump released the largest weekly strategic reserve distribution in history last week - almost 10 million barrels. Oil is still over $100 a barrel and gas is at record seasonal highs. This is gonna get ugly if it’s not resolved soon.

CASAR: For the $1 billion we're being asked to spend on Trump's ballroom, we could fund 217 million free school lunches and 15,000 more teachers. As secretary of education, which do you think helps our nation more? McMAHON: I think those are incredibly weird comparisons

Trump: "We have a man who is doing a great job. I knew it! Because he kept me out of jail for years. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. He kept me out of jail."

King Charles: I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing. I'm sorry to say that we British of course made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814.

WOW. New data just revealed that ICE agents arrested 3,800 Minnesota residents this winter – averaging 33 arrests every day. More than 75% of those arrested had no criminal record. ICE agents are not just going after the worst of the worst, and they are not making communities better off.

🔥 @repmcgovern.bsky.social : “First of all— ICE IS being funded. Stop the B.S. $85 Billion. Their normal budget is $10 Billion… why are we demanding reforms? Because ICE is terrorizing communities & attacking 🇺🇸 citizens.” He reminds us how out of control Trump’s racist goon squad is 👇🏽

💚💚💚

The cost of building a new hospital is about $100 million. We're dropping the equivalent of 10 hospitals a day on Iran. Trump decided this war was a better use of taxpayer money than giving Americans health care. It’s not.

Wow.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

GOLDMAN: What guidance have you given your agents about asking people to show proof of citizenship? LYONS: We don't do that G: Really? So all of those individual citizens who have been randomly asked are lying? LYONS: If ICE is conducting an investigation, they'll ask someone their nationality

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man? LYONS: Yes mam McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen. “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

You can’t reform this. Throw the whole department away.

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

Noem says hundreds more ICE agents are expected to arrive in Minneapolis today and tomorrow. Please be prepared. Set up a network, check on neighbors regularly, know your rights, and have an action plan in place and ready.

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

🚨🚨🚨 Hoo boy. It turns out the #FLORIDA Office of Insurance Regulation quietly published FINAL 2026 #ACA rate filings two months ago... ...and the marketwide average full-price premium hike is over 7 points HIGHER than I had estimated: +31.5%. 👀 acasignups.net/rate_changes...

Chicago today

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education. Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

This is Modern Day 2025 !! Pay Attention !!

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

79. American citizen.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.
