Trump’s move to “terminate” the Gateway Project is classic “mob boss” politics – using federal funds to punish his political enemies, and hurt you in the process.

Watch my full conversation with @kim.senate.gov and @katiephang.bsky.social about what this means for commuters, jobs, and safety.
My Conversation with Andy Kim and Katie Phang on the Gateway Project
Trump’s move to “terminate” this project shows what happens when a leader’s top priority is not safety or jobs - but political revenge.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."
This is why I no longer watch CNN. (Or MSNBC and Newsnation)
They've all become enablers of liars and giving them airtime without calling them out. "Fair enough. Moving along to..." is a slap in our faces.

Thank you, Judge Susan Graber for calling for an immediate en banc review in the 9th Circuit. Yesterday's decision must be vacated "before the illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses can occur.”

The military has no place in our cities.

Buttigieg: This is about political revenge. The president has been very clear about that. And the really dangerous thing is the revenge is on you—on ordinary Americans and commuters who depend on these tunnels.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Democratic congressional candidates nationwide, feeding off voter fury, are raging against their leadership and vowing ruthlessness against their own establishment.

"I am not a 'when they go low, we go high' kind of girl,” said TX state Rep. Jolanda Jones. “If they go low, I'm going to the gutter."
Enraged Democratic candidates turn on their leaders: "You've got to be able to fight ugly"
"If they go low, I'm going to the gutter," one Democratic House candidate said.

If you need a whistle, please drop by our office (7016 N Clark Street) to pick up one for free.

If you see ICE, blow three short bursts.

If they are detaining someone, blow three long bursts.
If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

Adelita Grijalva: "There is so much that cannot be done until I'm sworn in. So every moment that passes that I'm not able to provide constituent services or be a voice for Arizona, I cannot bring the issues forward that they send me here to do."
