Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Before we succumb to the amnesia of Trump’s Upside Down World, let’s take a moment to remember what happened five years ago.
Because the shame of that day endures, and its consequences are all around us.

Trump has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a boon for big corporations.
His Big Ugly Bill, which slashed Medicaid and SNAP, also gave corporations $16B in new depreciation tax breaks this year.
A windfall for the wealthy at your expense.

The ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits are at the center of the ongoing government shutdown. The tax credits have led to a more than doubling of Marketplace enrollment, but they'll expire at end of this year if Congress doesn’t act to extend them.
Here are some key facts about the credits from KFF

This is an important point. Setting yourself up on a dais under a banner that says "Prove me wrong" is the schoolyard bully's idea of debate. If you take the time to actually watch clips of Kirk "debating" you will instantly see that what is actually sophomoric point-scoring, not genuine debate.
This should be obvious but debate culture is a zero sum spectacle organized around a collective humiliation ritual. The point of a debate isn’t to produce a new, intersubjective understanding. It’s to decide who wins. Anyone demanding you participate in it does not have your best interest in mind.

Trump Tariff Aid To Farmers Cost More Than U.S. Nuclear Forces
The $28 billion for farmers raises questions about using taxpayer money to shield policymakers from the consequences of tariff increases.
