Oct 3: “#Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes told reporters she had gone to Humboldt Park Hospital upon hearing that a roughly 37-year-old man—who was being chased by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during an operation in the neighborhood—had fallen, broken his leg, and was taken to the hospital by the agents.”

When asked why only some people would receive backpay, Trump simply replied, “You’re gonna have to figure it out.” It’s not clear how the president intends to deal with those he believes do not deserve pay. https://trib.al/2gb8hQq

@Nonilex Are these Guard troops getting paid? I mean, the regular standing military is not.

Apparently air traffic controllers aren’t essential workers in a gov shutdown? In any case they are working unpaid. Or not. Make this make sense.

Parente said Martinez has “seven holes” in her from the #shooting & that agents were in such a hurry to take her into custody at the hospital that they had to return later when Martinez began bleeding from her wounds.

Parente disputed the govt’s claim that Martinez is a danger to the community & should be detained, saying instead that the officer who shot her was a threat.

“I think there’s a danger to the community, but I don’t think it’s Ms. Martinez,” he said.

@AlliFlowers If I had to choose between JB Pritzger and Gavin Newsome, it would be tough! Pritzker is statesman like, Presidential and emotes morality, integrity and clear thinking. Newsome is scrappy willing to take risks and has to buy shoes to protect his gonads from being stepped on. Pritzger President and Newsome VP!
