St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

NEW: This week laid bare the biggest lie in American politics — the claim that the GOP is pro-life. The Army plans to execute Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad on Dec. 3, and Pete Hegseth says the public will be able to watch. The midterms are 25 days away.

Make No Mistake — the GOP Isn’t Pro-Life
Hours after the U.S. bishops’ president called the Pentagon’s livestreamed firing squad barbaric, JD Vance said only that he wouldn’t watch. Pope Leo XIV saw this coming.

Ashley Hinson said she would consider raising the Social Security retirement age. Politicians like Ashley Hinson treat Social Security like a bargaining chip. It’s an earned benefit hardworking folks spend their lives paying into.

Rated: False Context: I asked how tax cuts would affect the budget. I love a good tax cut but how do we balance it with the services we provide? If we cut taxes, does Zach Lahn intend to cut funding to your kid's school? Or close another rural hospital? bit.ly/4jDGmct
politifact.com
Does Sand support raising Iowans’ taxes by $7,500 a year?
Zach Lahn says Rob Sand “wants to raise your taxes by $7,500 per year.” Sand says he would not reverse Iowa’s recent income tax cuts. We looked at Sand’s positions and the math behind Lahn’s claim.

Ashley Hinson voted repeatedly against efforts to end U.S. hostilities with Iran while taking more than $217,000 from oil and gas interests, including $38,500 since the war began. Meanwhile, Iowa gas prices have surged 60% since the start of the war as major oil companies report soaring profits.

Combined, the two networks (FOX and CBS) drew roughly 39 million viewers during that late-afternoon block. For comparison, a normal unopposed Sunday late window usually averages around 24 to 25 million viewers. There were actually MORE NFL viewers than normal and they chose to NOT watch 60 minutes.
