The turnout at No Kings rallies across Illinois’ Ninth District and the country gave me hope for the future of our democracy.

Stay tuned for more clips from my conversations with voters!

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

When did the rules for training change? Or for even salutes?

In 25 years of service we were NEVER allowed to fire live rounds anywhere near the civilian population.

Who the fuck is in charge here?

USMC! You have FAILED!

Take your red stripes off and go home.

Failure on an epic scale.

FAIL!

Earlier this week, we played a round of "Two Truths and a Lie" with @mcbride.house.gov and let's just say, the truth is stranger than fiction when it comes to what is happening in the House right now.
The facts speak for themselves!

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.
