And watch the full interview, where Senator Simmons proves he's got Chicago's grid memorized, talks about his love of Chicago Critical Mass ( @chicritmass.bsky.social ), and a whole lot more!

PAPER PLANET: βWhile Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in historyβ¦ $93.4 Billion in Septemberβ¦ $6.9 million on lobster tailsβ¦ they told you thereβs no money for health care, thereβs plenty.β
I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...
The SAVE Act is an attack on the freedom to vote β one that could block millions of eligible American citizens from voting. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4srDVLB
We've seen another morning of increased ICE activity with DHS helicopter out and about in Chicagoland.
Feds have taken people from Humboldt Park and Ravenswood. Vehicles also seen in Rogers Park. ICE watchers are asking north side neighbors to get outside and keep an eye on landscapers & laborers.
I hope this is one of the most consequential pieces I will have ever written.
Epstein and His Co-Conspiratorsβ New York Crimes: What NY officials can now do
New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girlsβ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.
There is no money for bread but trump always provides the circus.
NOBODY - even those here "without papers" - should receive the kind of treatment that #WesleyPowers - an American citizen - did.
Noem may now be gone, but the cruelty and brutalizing remain.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Low angle shot on a sandy beach of consistent tracks in the sand that look like they were made by a vehicle. They end in the distance at a sleeping green sea turtle who made them.
Turtle Tracks! These may seem like tire tracks, but they are, in fact, the tracks of a green sea turtle hauling out onto the beach to bask in the sun!

They're hiding their incompetence behind the valor of our men and women in uniform.
As if to question why we're at war is to question our heroes. No, it's to make sure the mission is worth their sacrifices.
Our troops will always do their job.
Republicans need to do theirs.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th πΏπ€π€£
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
NEW: US Attorney nominee Phil Williams has a long & disturbing history of attacking trans people and their parents.
He said parents of trans children should be drowned. He also compared efforts to support gender-affirming care to slavery & the Holocaust. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/us-attorne...
The Navajo Nation commission's report detailed harsh discipline, language barriers, discriminatory hiring practices and more.
βItβs our kids, our students, who are suffering the consequences of entrenched racism,β the commission chair said.

Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:
A dramatic image with bold text about Idaho House Committee's passage of a social transition ban, set against a grayscale domed ceiling background. Transcribed Text: BREAKING Idaho House Committee Passes Extreme Social Transition Ban HB 822 is alarming government overreach that would allow Idaho politicians to decide how youth dress and act.
BREAKING: An Idaho House Committee passed HB 822. This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would require trusted adults, such as teachers and counselors, to monitor children for signs that they are not conforming to gender stereotypes. Learn more about the bill: buff.ly/7kw0CXu
