The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Is this the country where you want to live? Where people get assaulted (and hospitalized) just for talking?

This is Brighton Park, the neighborhood where a U.S. Border Patrol agent also shot a woman earlier today. It is a predominantly Latine community on the southwest side.

The Trump administration sees National Guard deployments as a necessary protection for federal law enforcement in dangerous times, Marc Novicoff writes. “Taxpayers should see them as incredibly expensive”:
