No, the US is not looking to do this. The T rump administration is looking to do this. Most of us would never have started it. Please start disassociating the people from MAGA, most of us still believe in the Constitution.
Retired English teacher stuck in middle America. Love to read classics, British/Scottish detective and books about bookshops. I take pics of old barns and wooded trails. Sick of politics, politicians looking for easy conversations about enjoying life.

So do we now have to look around our high school classrooms and wonder who the ICE agent is if we work in Phoenix, Chicago, NYC, erc.??
Sounds like a headline you see in the checkout line at the grocery store, not so very reputable news.
Why would you even give this person air? Stop posting this kind of garbage. They only do it for publicity and response. STOP MAKING STUPID PEOPLE FAMOUS!
To woke. Does this block head even know the definition of the word. Just for JFK.
What a DISGUSTING perversion of the facts. Ghislaine Maxwell is no victim. She is a convicted sex trafficker of little girls as young as 14 years old. She enticed and groomed little girls for sexual abuse.

Not that it will make any difference, but it’s quick and easy to call CBS News to leave a message and tell them that they suck. CBS News: (212) 975-3247
Did anyone else get a call from LaHood tonight for his 'town hall'?? Basically shut up and listen or, in our case, make nasty rude remarks. We lasted for about 5 min. After the BS about how he was going to explain all the good R's are doing we hung up. VOTE PAUL NOLLEY in 2026, IL District 16.

Did you know that the Heritage Foundation allows people to register for their upcoming events using a contact form, and that you could put whatever you wanted in the contact form and it accepts it? Anyway. Have fun, and send screenshots of your inputs 💅 www9.heritage.org/HYBRID2025-0...
Hahahaha...such fun!!
The Lottery was a very important part of my 11th grade English classes. It caused agitation and huge amount of conversation/debate among my students. After reading the book I showed the original video. Discussions about law, culture, religion and so many other topics.
He is using LA as a distraction for what he is doing in other places, what is happening in Congress and what is going on with the Epstein Files and the 'BBB' that will rip medical care out of this country and send us back to the 1800's. Show up, Stand up, Be heard...but be peaceful.
Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

ICYMI: The GOP’s budget bill cleared the House, which contains a provision that could weaken courts' power to issue enforceable orders. If it becomes law, the bill would require judges to collect monetary bonds from parties seeking an injunction. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.
I am seeing a lot of people posting about this anti-democracy provision of the GOP budget bill. Here is Democracy Docket’s coverage from last Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Adriana Smith’s story MUST be told so America can understand what’s at stake when draconian abortion laws like the one in GA keep a brain dead pregnant woman on life support just so the fetus can be delivered. What kind of dystopian hellscape has Dobbs created? m.youtube.com/watch?v=wNYT...
We are so sorry Marc. We always looked for Bode pictures or caught him in a background. We will miss him too. 😢

And then on Sunday’s they’ll claim their religiosity. Disgusting.

Following since day 1. I am in love with Maze Books in Rockford, IL. It is a small shop that has made a huge impact on the area. It holds a book club, philosophy club, author signings, poetry writing, author readings, writing, LGBTQ+, a chess club an awesome owner who knows all his regulars.
So where do we protest to keep @maddow.msnbc.com on air at least 2 days a week. She is sanity for so many!!
We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.
But under Burgum’s order, Hassen has the power to fire employees, make funding decisions, set policy, and approve or deny programs without needing the Secretary’s sign-off. He’s already reviewing all grants and contracts over $50,000.
This is an unelected oil executive now calling the shots for America’s public lands. No Senate vote. No accountability. Just a signature and the quiet handoff of power to Musk’s inner circle. This is what authoritarianism looks like, buried in bureaucracy.
Graduated high school at 22...he was a super duper senior.
RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.
Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.
The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.
Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it? Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…
Dear librarians: We will always support you, just as you have supported us ❤️
The case could have consequences for people across the country—You don't see people challenging men leaving a state where gambling is illegal to go to Nevada for a bachelor party, a point the judge made. But women & their rights are under fire. It's time to pay attention. joycevance.substack.com
The Social Security website continues to experience frequent crashes as Musk pushes for cuts to the agency’s IT staff. Americans face chronic outages and login issues while trying to access their accounts—despite being urged to conduct more of their Social Security business online.
The site has crashed repeatedly in recent weeks, with outages lasting from 20 minutes to nearly a full day. Musk staffers’ reliance on AI to rebuild the system has failed spectacularly, yet they continue to insist it can replace experienced personnel.
Watch @klobuchar.senate.gov explain how the Republican budget resolution would give a massive tax cut to the ultra-wealthy, while taking away health care and raising costs for everyone else

We were cleaning Chinas clock economically. Many predicted they would surpass us by now, and they haven’t. But this tariff stuff will close the gap. Idiots
Ben Wikler: 1 day until WI’s April 1 election. And a reminder about Brad Schimel’s reproductive rights record: * He called WI’s 1849 abortion ban “valid” * Said it was an “honor” to have a case named Planned Parenthood v. Schimel * Helped create the legal framework to overturn Roe v. Wade
"The use of prisoners for propaganda purposes is as old as war itself. ISIS made extensive use... The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese...This is what evil, illiberal regimes do." Now that's us. Must-read @JVLast thebulwark.com/p/this-is-th...
Don't bother. They are just reacting at the 11th hour, to the fact that so many people have dumped them. They do nothing but push UHC and send out a magazine. They are only worried about $$$, not us.
WTF is wrong with @durbin.senate.gov? He just really doesn't care about what his constituents are saying. WAKE UP Dick, we know you are 80 and need to retire, so just do it already.

Israel says it ended the two-month ceasefire when it launched Tuesday's airstrikes in Gaza which killed more than 400 people and injured hundreds more.
My fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, has a creed you have to memorize and try to live up to called “The True Gentleman.” Curious if you think our current president is a “true gentleman”?
Judge grants a preliminary injunction on behalf of trans people in the military and extends “appreciation to every current servicemember and veteran.” The gov’t gets a few days to appeal before it’s effective. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Press Release– U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk. He sent in his request [on March 11]. ~ Jaimeraskin.com
Remember, felon47 wants us divided. The more we fight our own, the happier he is. It takes our eyes off the real issue. Don't be sucked into it. Send them your anger but fund the Dems who are doing the right things. Listen to Raskin, AOC, Duckworth, Bernie, etc. Remember Kharma is a bitch.
Hi, we are an alternative to Amazon-owned Audible 👋🏻 With us, you select the independent bookshop you want to support (we have 3,000+ partners across the globe), and we share profits from your purchase with them. We're also employee-owned and a registered Social Purpose Corporation.
The CR they are trying to pass cuts $23 billion for veterans who have suffered toxic exposure like burn pits & Agent Orange. Pass this on & show up tomorrow!!!
...and they are told not to hold town halls so I guess we can find them at home and picket them there. We will be heard at their homes, offices, luncheons, meetings. We need to find them where they are and make our voices heard.
🚨🚨🚨Senate Republicans are trying to jam through a disastrous spending bill that would rip funding from programs that millions of Americans rely on: Veterans benefits, nutrition assistance, and health care benefits. We have to stop it. Call your senators NOW— tell them to VOTE NO: (202) 224-3121
CNBC is calling it the Tesla Chain Saw Massacre. 🤣

@maddow.msnbc.com we haven't seen our Rep. in Dist. 16 in IL since 2017...Remember Rep. LaHood? His daddy got into trouble over $50000 in Vegas a few years back. Might make an interesting story!
GET IN ON THIS DIST. 16!! Congressman Sorensen virtual town hall March 13, 2025 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm I am listening to you! So many have asked for a town hall to discuss the chaos in Washington. And I am going to do that this Thursday evening at 6pm. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Looks like Trumpty-Dumpty had a great fall Splat! From the wall [street] See what I did there?
Dist. 16 Democrats Meet and greet March 13, 2025 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm 4562 Hononegah Road, Roscoe, IL 61073
This is Darin LaHood. We think he is the Representative from Dist. 16 in IL. We haven't seen or heard from him since 2017. If found, please return him to his office in Rockford,we have questions...

If you are spending any time attacking Democrats rather than focusing on what Republicans are doing to destroy our democracy then you are wasting value time.
SHUT IT DOWN. DO NOT GIVE UP AND GIVE IN!!
Awesome!! Moving to IL sort of cut me off from the Sox, now I can follow it all! Thanks #Bluesky
Senator Bernie Sanders delivered a powerful speech before a packed crowd in Kenosha, Wisconsin. 4,000+ showed and 1,000 + were in the overflow area. This is the type of energy and speech we’ve been waiting for. I’m glad we could cover it youtu.be/6zSrXBg1NTU
Something to always keep in your mind as you respond on this site and others...they are trying to divide us, make us hate our Representatives and Senators. Make sure what you respond to is real. Check the facts!
😞
If, like me, you are stuck in IL Congressional Dist. 16 with LaHood as your Rep. in DC, write to the Illinois Democratic Party at ildems.com and implore them to run a candidate in the 16th!! We need representation who listens to us, not some guy from Peoria! WE THE PEOPLE can make a difference.
LWV OF Greater Rockford tonight instead of 47felon.
Hear the asses bray!
