Republicans announce the entire state of Indiana will be defunded if they do not obey Trump by gerrymandering their state.
“Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop.”

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Democrats won't create the lasting change or tap into the rage of the majority with Schumer and Jeffries in the lead. Centrists won't get it done, no matter how the establishment wills it. The country has radically shifted. The last 10 years is your evidence.

Right, but my point is that whether or not Chicago is within the 100 mile zone is largely irrelevant for what the Border Patrol are doing in the city right now. They could be doing basically the same thing in the middle of Kansas.
CBP considers Chicago to be in the 100 mile zone b/c they consider all the Great Lakes' shorelines, not the actual borders, to be international borders including, absurdly, Lake Michigan. Any truly textualist or originalist jurist would see this as preposterous. www.aclu.org/documents/co...

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.
There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

UPDATE: Two federal judges have ruled withholding SNAP benefits to be unlawful. Our caucus will continue to monitor the situation to ensure no Hoosier goes hungry due to the shutdown.
