Midway Blitz Is Over, But ICE Is Still Quietly Targeting Chicago Immigrants — Especially At Court Arrests are ticking back up, with immigrants targeted at hearings and in courthouses, although federal agents are far less present in the streets than they were in the fall.

I hate all the MAGAs involved. And the Dems who are sitting by, calculating whether to do anything.

OMG, communications team, have you not seen a Mamdani video?! Step it up.

Naturally, Spirit!

Trump math working it’s magic yet again:

Trump Rx: $200 for protonix

Costco: $16 for pantoprazole, the generic equivalent

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.

This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.

But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

All lives matter though to the GOP, right, Senator?

Investigating the Good Guys DOJ claims the Southern Poverty Law Center was "paying off" the Ku Klux Klan. The group's track record and common sense suggest otherwise.

A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Why is the acting AG doing a press conference to defend this wacko? This should be unbelievable.

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."

The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

Monstrous evil

"This is an important thing to think about."

TV still of two men, one lying in bed with his left hand outstretched, the other man standing with his left hand outstretched. Over the middle of the bed is a large colorful painting. In the center are the Madonna and child. They are bathed in a vortext of light filled with cherubim. Around the edge are various flowers and one child facing Jesus. Jesus is reaching out to him with a lily.

I was watching an Italian detective tv show, Gerri. When his boss is felled by kidney stones, Gerri visits him at home.

What is that painting over the marital bed?!

Says the guy who never hears or sees anything and has an app watching in case his son masturbates.

Also, does having a subordinate member of congress hire your children not count as nepotism?

#Chicago: hold @illinoisdems.bsky.social their feet to the fire this year! Do not accept more mediocrity - demand results.

They are having that much trouble recruiting sane people?

But this isn't a 'war,' right?

It is becoming apparent that the people all in on AI and eager to talk down to the rest of us are the same people who could never make friends. So they made machines who they can imagine appreciate them.

It's a protection racket. I hope Dershowitz fears new disclosures.

Interesting that John Roberts didn't see this mess coming....

The Strange Death of Orbánism Franz Pokorny

Hungarian taxpayers paid American “post-liberal” Rod Dreher $105,000 last year to produce propaganda for Orban’s regime. www.jaccusepaper.co.uk/p/the-strang...

I've always been against funding religious schools but now that the right is funding right wing christian education with tax dollars it is difficult to argue that the catholics shouldn't get into the trough, too. The real answer is it all needs to stop.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

They have already dithered in their thinking to convince themselves that they are being objective by going. It's really the nail in their intellectual coffins.
