Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has vowed to prosecute Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a post-Trump era. Pritzker made the comments during an interview with FOX 32 Chicago this week as ICE agents step up their efforts across the city of Chicago. “The tables will turn one day,” Prtizker explained. ”These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out.” The 60-year-old added that he had spoken with Illinois Attorney General Kwame...

@RepThomasMassie Funding deadline is 9/30/25. @SpeakerJohnson is running the same swamp play as Pelosi, Ryan, Boehner: use a CR to “kick the can” to right before the holidays. Rather than give the same speech, I’m submitting last year’s speech, Sub “lawmaker security” for “fake border security”

Marc Maron recently appeared on “Pod Save America” (via Vulture) and doubled down on his criticisms of Bill Maher. While the “WTF” host acknowledged that he joined Maher on HBO’s “Real Time” three times in the past, he has since turned on Maher in recent years. Maron already called Maher out earlier this summer for being partial to “some of the things” Donald Trump is doing in his second administration as U.S. president. “I can’t do it,” Maron now said when “Pod Save America” host Jon Lovett asked him about Maher. “I always had a problem with his tone, and...

Critics...have pointed to his record as evidence of failed leadership. Attorney General Ken Paxton blasted Phelan’s legacy as “one of betrayal,” citing his reliance on Democrat votes and his role in the impeachment. Phelan’s opponents have also noted the repeated special sessions called by Gov. Greg Abbott during his time as speaker due to a failure to pass conservative priorities.

We wrote here about Harry Reid’s supposed close encounter with a piece of exercise equipment, which handed him in the hospital. The equipment was later claimed by Reid’s office to be an elastic exercise band. This is how the accident allegedly happened: The accident happened when an elastic exercise band broke, striking Reid in the face and causing him to fall, said spokesman Adam Jentleson. Reid struck some equipment as he fell, breaking multiple bones near his right eye. As he hit the floor, he broke several ribs, Jentleson said. … Jentleson said Reid is likely to have severe facial...

The treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is facing the threat of extradition from Britain to the US on espionage charges, is putting his life "at risk", according to an independent UN rights expert. "Unless the UK urgently changes course and alleviates his inhumane situation, Mr Assange's continued exposure to arbitrariness and abuse may soon end up costing his life," the UN special rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, Nils Melzer, said in a statement. Mr Melzer, who visited the 48-year-old Australian in a London prison on May 9, nearly a month after his arrest...

No one does Easter eggs quite like Taylor Swift. The singer's back catalogue is peppered with subtle(ish) nods to her lovers and friends - past and present - much to the delight of sleuthing fans

In a clip of the “New Heights” show posted Wednesday morning, Swift made light of the one-way bad blood between herself and face-painting, jersey-wearing haters. “As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast,” she said. “And we all know that if there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it’s more of me.” Her appearance on the football-centric podcast was hyped by a screaming Jason Kelce, calling Swift “the most requested guest in the history of shows!” Swift, of course, has...

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.A big, explosive controversy that’s impossible to ignore! A jaw-dropping confession that outraged his corporate bosses! Or maybe he’d finally suffer the consequences of speaking “truth to power” — and pay the ultimate price for refusing to back down!AdvertisementThat’s how “The Howard Stern Show” was supposed to end.This November marks the 100th anniversary of TS Eliot’s haunting poem, “The Hollow Men.” It’s a telling coincidence, for it foretold not just the fate of the world, but of a certain shock-jock: “This is the way the [Howard Stern Show] ends; Now with a bang but...

During a recent interview that aired on CSPAN, conservative commentator Ann Coulter applauded the early days of Donald Trump’s second presidency and contrasted it with his first term. According to the long-time conservative icon, Trump’s loss in 2020 may have been the inspiration for the improvements made since his first presidency. “I can’t believe how great Trump is,” Coulter declared. “If you’ve followed my work assiduously, you know I campaigned with Trump when he was running in 2016. He did ask for a copy of my book, ‘Adios America.’ A lot of the immigration stuff came from that. Huge fan....

Helen Alderman was a young girl when she learned that her great-uncle was the Florida soldier executed on July 7, 1865, with three others who had conspired to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. On a sunny afternoon 129 years after Lewis Thornton Powell’s death, Alderman, 72, and about two dozen friends, family and historians gathered Saturday under the shade of six cypress trees at a Geneva community cemetery to bury a small mahogany box and close the story of the Florida farm boy who joined John Wilkes Booth in one of the most notorious acts in American history. “Never in my...

Pop star Katy Perry claimed that illegal migrants are being “hunted like criminals in their ancestral home,” implying that the land of California and Los Angeles belongs to them. In a series of Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Perry promoted a message that said illegal migrants are the descendants of those who built California. “Los Angeles has lived under three flags: Spain, Mexico, and the United States. That land has seen borders shift, power, change, hands, and yet the people, especially the brown and indigenous people, have always been there. Planting roots, building lives, raising families,” the message said. “And now,...

FIRST ON FOX: Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, who ditched his Tesla last month, refused to label recent violence at Tesla dealerships in protest of Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts as "domestic terrorism," a term that has been used by Republicans and the Justice Department. "Certainly vandalism and it's a crime," Kelly told Fox News Digital when asked if the violence at Tesla dealerships in response to DOGE amounted to terrorism. "It's a significant crime, especially if you're going to firebomb a car or vandalize somebody's vehicle or even key somebody's vehicle. They shouldn't be doing it. And these should...

This week, Representative Jamie Raskin's remarks to a small crowd in Washington D.C. quickly devolved into chaos after hecklers began shouting at Raskin. (Starts at 22 sec mark, funniest at the end when he gives up.)

Since the SNL 50th anniversary took place that created so much backlash toward Tom Hanks after the Tom Hanks Trump Supporter comedy sketch backfired not just on NBC but also on tom hanks career after millions of fans left him afterwards....the tom hanks snl 50th anniversary trump supporter parody was best described as a ratings disaster for snl....the tom hanks maga snl skit also caused tom hanks to disable comments on his instagram account. This also comes in the midst of NBC making a swift move to improve their business model after getting so much pushback from the public.

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) defended his vote against the Laken Riley Act by stating that “people are going to be targeted because they’re brown.” Host Chris Hayes asked, “[T]here’s a sort of a test of this happening now with this piece of legislation that would essentially make larger the category of immigrants who are here undocumented without status who can be put into the deportation queue if arrested, not convicted, for a set of category of crimes. So, it enlargens that. It also, in a more — well, a part that a lot...
