ICE is deliberately provoking demonstrators as well as interested bystanders in order to justify Trump's insistence that Chi is a "war zone" and aggressive measures are necessary. Everyone at a "contact" point should film as much action as possible. #ProudBlue

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Instead of working to reopen the government and lower health care costs, House Republicans are taking their FOURTH week of vacation.
