If you see tattoos on any “supposed” or alleged masked ICE agent, log it and call the police. Especially if they are sitting outside of grammar schools heavily armed. There are now masked men attacking citizens for taking photos on public streets in Chicago. www.adl.org/sites/defaul...

You know what’s scarier than the guy getting heat stroke in 110 degrees picking your fruit for a better future for his kids? Watching those crops rot because no one’s buying, thanks to stupid tariff wars that nuked your markets and your paycheck.

Government workers 👇🏾

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

Mike Johnson usually says he doesn’t know, can’t respond or hasn’t been told something.
Republicans promise plans for XYZ healthcare. Nothing materializes for the citizens. It’s empty words.

Mike Johnson said he still has PTSD from 2017 when McCain stopped repeal of the ACA. 44 million have health insurance because of the ACA. He’s lying when he said they had an alternative. Where is it…
