Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot by ICE 10 days ago. The bullet is still lodged in his back. He’s been forced to sleep on the floor and hasn’t been given medication, according to his attorney. Now DHS is claiming he assaulted an agent. Can we trust anything DHS says given its track record?

Watchdog clears former US Fed chief Powell in renovation probe
The US Federal Reserve's Office of the Inspector General found no 'reasonable grounds' to justify criminal charges against the institution's former chair, according to a report published on Wednesday. The US president demands that Powell should be 'forced to resign' or 'sued, at the highest level.'

Starting tomorrow, Illinoisans can apply for assistance with their energy bills. No working family should have to decide between heating their home or putting food on the table. We're making life more affordable for those struggling with rising monthly costs like utilities.
