It's time to turn the page on drama & conflict, fear & division. It's time for new leadership in America! We know exactly what to do because we've done it before & we will do it again. We use our power. We organize, mobilize, we educate & we advocate. Time to roll up our sleeves & get busy!

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.

If you are wearing a mask and disrupting a funeral you are not on the side of the right and the good. How about we just let people live (and grieve) in peace.

If you watch closely, you'll see they're doing this opposite an actual funeral procession.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

Appalling: JB Pritzker tells me he hasn't been able to get a single conversation with Kristi Noem or any other top Trump officials to even discuss their Chicago operations. Pritzker just wants a heads up for logistical purposes. Nada.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?
