I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

It’s Not #AmericaFirst when Trump bails out Argentina with $20B but won’t extended Health Care subsidies to U.S. Citizens!

It’s Not Red vs Blue…

It’s Billionaires vs the Rest of Us

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

RM @meeks.house.gov: Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. In the face of repression and great personal risk, including after the Maduro regime’s stolen July 2024 election, she has embodied the highest ideals of fearless democratic leadership.

María Corina Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader, wins Nobel Peace Prize

The prize honored Machado, who is in hiding, for keeping “the flame of democracy burning,” but the White House accused the Nobel jury of “placing politics over peace.”

Pam Bondi gets uglier with every clip of her I see. People lying...when everyone knows they are lying...yet they do it anyway...they're the most repulsive thing you can ever see. That feeling of being repulsed...and what you are looking at...when you feel that way...fuse... permanently.
