The establishment is in full panic mode.

When they can’t debate ideas, they have to manufacture doubt.

New SAVE Act Bills Would Still Block Millions of Americans From Voting The “show your papers” requirement is an attack on the freedom to vote.

The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters.

Let’s be clear: we’ve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now we’re supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77

More of this nationwide please!

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Governor JB Pritzker today signed Executive Order 2025-06 to establish the Illinois Accountability Commission (IAC), an independent board tasked with capturing and creating a public record of the conduct of federal law enforcement agents and recommending actions to hold the federal government accountable as they continue conducting military-style operations in Chicago, collar counties, and other areas throughout the state.

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.

I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

Trump and White House Busted Using Red State Footage to Show ‘Chaos’ in Chicago The president posted the deceptive high-octane ICE raid video to his own social media account.

Can’t say I’ve seen too many palm trees here in Illinois.

Maybe in the President’s home state of Florida though.

Fascinating write-up! Do you reckon it’s the jobs leaving California or are the positions being eliminated?

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.

Illinois is not a photo opportunity or warzone, it’s a sovereign state where our people deserve rights, respect, and answers.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Not to continue to do this Cassandra bullshit, but here is a clip from two years ago that outlines exactly the playbook in this moment: a government and private law enforcement army run entirely on grievance, culture war slop, and weaponizable data points, deployed against boogeymen, absent facts.

Illinois is making a quantum leap forward.

With our Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago, that means good-paying jobs and vital investment for the South Side of Chicago.

It's a win for not only the city but the entire state.

Crockett: When you I say you are the least qualified in the history of the FBI, it’s real…

Patel: That’s false

Crockett: I didn’t ask you a question. I want to talk about why you're a failure and honestly we need to tell you, bye, bye

You Really Need to See Epstein’s Birthday Book for Yourself This time, the conspiracy theorists were right.

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

Pope Leo XIV canonized Carlo Acutis, a 15-year-old who died in 2006, as the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint on Sunday.

Common theme of people I've interviewed recently. At universities, in research centers, in diplomacy, in the legal system, dealing with refugees or immigrants:

The reality inside is much worse than you would think from the outside.

Mamdani: Why should I debate Trump's puppet when I could debate Trump himself? If Trump is serious about this, he should come to New York City. We can have as many debates as he wants about why he is cutting snap benefits for hungry New Yorkers just to fund tax cuts for his billionaire donors

Jimmy Cauty’s remix (towerblock1) is cool too

70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists.

Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter.

We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.

Do not come, Donald Trump.

You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.
