The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

ICE just moved through Rogers Park, headed north into Evanston. The RP community response has not gotten slower in the winter. A lot of folks were out in the streets the moment they got off Lake Shore Drive. Everyone on the North Side is on high alert today. Stay ready.

Saying this is “more than his voters wanted to see” is such a fucking cop out and failure of accountability. This is exactly what they wanted because it’s exactly what he said he would do, and what their signs they all waved had painted across them. Maybe NOW they feel guilty, but they wanted this.
