Donald Trump is not sending us the military to safeguard ICE or anybody else.

This was never about immigration or fighting crime; it's about intimidating and putting fear into lawful residents of our beautiful city, Chicago, and all around America.

NEW — I wrote about my confirmed scoop from last night that Disney hastened Kimmel's return because of a planned Disney+ streaming price increase announcement coming on Tuesday:

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Nothing to see here; just after Tucker Carlson compared Charlie Kirk's murder to Jesus', he invoked the oldest blood libel that has been used for nearly 2,000 years to persecute the Jewish people.

Tucker Carlson is one of the most hateful, bigoted people on earth.

Hi, I’m Joel Willett 👋

I'm a former CIA officer. Tulsi Gabbard revoked my security clearance once I was mentioned as a potential candidate.

The Trump machine wants to shut me up, but I won't.

Here's what you can do to boost our momentum on launch day.

✔️FOLLOW

✔️DONATE (link in bio)

✔️PASS IT ON.

At 17, I joined the army after receiving a great Kentucky education. I served in the CIA and assisted President Obama in the White House Situation Room. And ran businesses that employed hundreds of people.

I lived the American dream, and I'm running for Senate so that you can live yours.

BREAKING: A federal judge has tossed Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday in Florida, who was appointed by President George H. W. Bush, didn't mince words in his ruling:

BREAKING: Ryan Mackenzie just voted to continue the attack on everyday Americans' healthcare; he prefers a government shutdown over working across the aisle for the good of the people in PA07.

When I get to Congress, I'll work for my constituents every day, not for Donald Trump.

If you want Charlie Kirk to be remembered for his willingness to engage with people who disagreed with him, why are you using his legacy to silence media voices you disagree with?

Donald Trump’s government is a tool for terrorizing working families and communities, and for enriching himself.

If Republicans refuse to restore healthcare access for the millions who need it most, the choice is clear:

Shut it down.

Americans are breathing a sigh of relief today, knowing that shooters can hide all they want, but our FBI will track them down as soon as their father turns them in.
