Bad move. This does not help the Democratic party. This does not help the American public. This does not help your constituents. And this certainly does not help you win another election. Shameful.

Let me be clear: if Chuck Schumer caves tonight, that will be the formal end of his career in Democratic politics.

The new generation coming into leadership has no tolerance for cowards.

I Want You to Understand Chicago

"Understand what it is to be Chicago. To carry a whistle and have the ICIRR hotline in your phone. To wake up from nightmares of shouting militiamen and guns in your face. To rehearse every day how to calmly refuse entry, how to identify a judicial warrant, how to film and narrate an assault."

Inside Chicago’s growing resistance movement against Operation Midway Blitz: β€˜Small acts have huge consequences’ In Chicago, the resistance to President Donald Trump’s mass deportation mission has taken many forms. A movement has grown through acts large and small.

β€œThe whistles are everywhere … this is what we do. The best thing we do in Chicago is organize. So good luck.”

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.

Families 'Horrified' After Daycare Teacher Pulled Out Of Preschool By Armed Federal Agents The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the employee, who cares for infants, is legally allowed to work in the United State...

"Because nothing says 'protect the children' like masked men storming a preschool and dragging parents away."

JB Pritzker creating the β€œIllinois Accountability Commission” isn’t getting enough attention. Its focus is on immigration agents & it will document abuses, capture impacts on families and communities, & recommend actions to prevent further harm. We need more of these nationwide.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

β€œAccording to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

β€œSNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”
