Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

GOV. WALZ: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business — the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Trump’s the one with government interference." (From @atrupar.com )

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Often times the DNC are their own worst enemy, attacking democrats instead of their racist & prejudiced opponents, or when they thumb their noses at justice & put their thumb on the scale of free & fair elections &
Lose their chance of winning and losing because of their interference

Dem all my life, but I am absolutely DONE with the DNC. I will not donate another dime to the DNC. Received a DNC email this week titled You are not an ATM, said I shouldn't donate to individual candidates only to them because they know best how to use my money. DNC supports Schumer so no thanks
