According to Trump's DOJ, doing the following things means you're involved in a conspiracy: • Posting “we need to become ungovernable” on Facebook • Wearing a sweatshirt that says “I’m Antifa!” • Possessing a bullhorn

Scoop with @dfriedman.bsky.social: Trump brought a statue of a slave owner out of storage & hired a contractor to build it a new pedestal in DC. Installing it took ONE day & cost $527K. The Gov't justified the high price tag w/ urgent need to finish by July 4. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump resurrected the statue of a slave owner. Its pedestal cost taxpayers $527k.
Contracting documents obtained by Mother Jones indicate the price was nearly double the government's estimate.

Human Rights Watch has released a comprehensive report detailing human rights abuses by the government during this winter’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, which the group alleges also violates international human rights treaties that the U.S. is signed onto.

Report authors say feds violated Minnesotans' human rights during ICE surge
The 186-page report from Human Rights Watch in part highlights how federal agents stopped or detained thousands of people and alleges that many of the arrests were arbitrary and race-based.

Here's how Illinois news providers described the immediate or expected impact of the credits during its 2025 rollout:
• A larger publisher said the credit
"allowed us to... save jobs and roles that we did not have to make cuts for."
• A small publisher spoke to its potential attracting other support: "I could use this as a jumping off point for
fundraising for this particular position.
It's almost like a match at that point."
• One recipient said: "It will be our second largest revenue stream for the year... about 15% more. So that's a sizable impact on our ability to cover the community."
• "Payroll is our biggest expense as a small newspaper," said a suburban non-profit publisher. "The credit is a lot of money to us. It will help pay our freelancers. We have a lot of requests for coverage that we are not able to respond to, but if we can expand our freelance team and get them out to more events, that will help our community."
