I despise the Republican Party. Trump has trained them to have a complete disregard for truth. You can't engage in political discussions if one side does nothing but lie.
Yet now the Republicans have an opportunity to tell the truth: Democrats caused the longest shutdown for absolutely nothing.

For all of his tough talk against Trump, Gov JB Pritzker was born into wealth, and the wealthy are who he serves.
He won't tax wealthy corporations in Illinois. That's bad for billionaires' business.

Gov. JB Pritzker claims that his state police are protecting protestors.
He is lying.
Police, whether federal, state, or local, are not your friends. They are not trained to protect peaceful protestors. They are trained to view everyone as enemy combatants.

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

back in the run-up to ACA getting passed, harry reid didn't say he had 58 or 59 votes for a public option through in a reconciliation bill - reid said he had 53, 54 tops. it's never JUST one of them.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
