What Trump is doing in Chicago is either legal or illegal.

If it’s legal, we must defeat Trumpism and make his assaults on democracy and federalism illegal going forward.

If it’s illegal, someone has to go to jail, eventually.

A valuable read. 👇

In one, people work multiple jobs and still can't afford a home.

In the other, housing isn't a place to live but a portfolio to grow.

The DOJ agrees with the plaintiffs here, or at least did last time they chimed in.

They’ve twice said that journalists have a constitutional right to cover protest dispersals which obviously requires them to be allowed to stay after protesters are dispersed.
