A Westmont officer was the first to encounter Diaz-Torres, who fell asleep behind the wheel of a rented silver 2025 Kia Telluride, at the intersection, according to a police report. After the officer tapped on the window, Diaz-Torres accelerated, the report states, and the car ended up in a hedgerow on the Oak Brook border, meaning the incident fell within Oak Brook’s jurisdiction.

I loathe these MFers.

Kat Abughazaleh (candidate for IL- 9th) is livestreaming her road trip 'round the district.

I like her progressive platform and background.

I graduated from George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs in 2020 with a BA in International Affairs concentrating on Security Policy — and while I'm proud of the robust and progressive platform my campaign has, I'm not an out-of-touch policy wonk. I'm a renter. I went over a year without health insurance. My net worth is pretty much just the laptop I bought with my entire severance when I got laid off and my adorable cat, Heater. I spend my spare time knitting, playing video games with friends, and reading sci-fi.

We (people under like 50, I guess) haven't had the chance to build wealth like previous generations, but that doesn't make our lives worth any less. That's why we need representation that actually knows the realities of today's economic and social landscapes, because we deserve new solutions fit for 2025 and beyond rather than the same ones our lawmakers have pushed since 2005.

New angle from Butler, PA - Appears to show staging of Trump's "Fight, fight, fight" photo.

Staffers moving reporters into position, flag being lowered to be in the frame, making it all look prearranged.
Why did Trump vanish from media for 3-days prior? Dry runs to be sure they could pull it off?
It sounds a bit like conspiracy, but the video shows hard to explain behavior.

Larry Hoover Will Remain in Prison Despite President Donald Trump's Commutation (cue sad Kanye trombone)

https://legalunitedstates.com/larry-hoover-will-remain-in-prison-despite-president-donald-trumps-commutation/

Short version - State of Illinois charges cannot be commuted or pardoned by Trump, so Hoover is headed to an Illinois State Prison.

The key to understanding why Larry Hoover will remain in prison despite President Donald Trump’s commutation lies in the limits of presidential power. Presidents can only grant clemency for federal crimes, not state convictions. Hoover’s federal charges—tied to drug trafficking and extortion—were nullified, but his state murder sentence remains untouched. Illinois authorities have shown little inclination to follow Trump’s lead, with Governor JB Pritzker unlikely to commute the state sentence, according to recent reports. Hoover’s transfer from federal to state custody, possibly to a facility like Dixon Correctional Center, is the most immediate outcome, but his release remains a distant prospect.

Here’s a quick breakdown of Hoover’s legal status:

Federal Sentence: Commuted by Trump on May 28, 2025; previously six life terms for running a criminal enterprise.
State Sentence: 200 years for the 1973 murder of William Young; parole eligibility in 2062.
Current Location: ADX Florence, Colorado; likely to be transferred to an Illinois state prison.
Advocacy Efforts: Supported by Kanye West, Drake, and Hoover’s son, Larry Hoover Jr., who argue for his rehabilitation.

We're all on the menu for corporations to feast upon as CFPB gutting rolls on.

US consumer watchdog to scrap scores of financial oversight policies issued since 2011
https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/us-consumer-watchdog-scrap-scores-financial-oversight-policies-issued-since-2011-2025-05-09/

The documents rescinded provided policy and guidance oversight on matters as varied as debt collections in nursing homes, supervision of companies offering financial services to military servicemembers, discrimination in lending based on gender and sexual orientation and the publication of consumer complaint data. Some were policies and guidance issued under the prior Trump administration.

In a notice posted Friday to the Federal Register's website, acting CFPB Director Russell Vought said the policy documents -- which offer interpretations of existing law and announce bureau priorities -- sometimes imposed illegal requirements on companies or simply increased the regulatory burden unnecessarily.

War crimes are no big deal to Trump, as long as Sweet Daddy Vlad is the aggressor.

A critical investigation into Russia's forced deportation of Ukrainian children, a key issue in any negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, has been disrupted after the Trump administration defunded a State Department contract with Yale University researchers.

The Yale Humanitarian Research Lab had uncovered extensive evidence supporting war crimes charges against Russia, alleging that thousands of Ukrainian children were forcibly taken and placed with Russian families. The evidence was used to charge Russian President Vladimir Putin with international crimes.

Scripps News has learned that the data, which was set to be transferred to the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation, is now in limbo. Concerns are growing over the fate of the information, which is reportedly stored on secret State Department servers.
