A tweet from the official Department of Homeland Security account tags @SenatorDurbin and reads:
β.@SenatorDurbin, this is SHAMEFUL. Want to talk about TERRORIZING? How about condemn the terrorist attacks and mass assaults against our law enforcement.β
It continues:
βOur @ICEgov officers are PROTECTING our communities from illegal alien gang members, rapists, and child sex offendersβthat YOU are supporting. You should be thanking our brave men and women of @ICEgov instead of demonizing them.β
Senator Dick Durbin posts:
βYour agents arrested a young cancer patientβs dad. Sheβd just returned from chemotherapy. No criminal record. Immigrants arenβt the threat here. You are.β
Below the tweet is a photo showing a man wearing a cap and an American flag t-shirt sitting next to a smiling young girl in a sombrero at a restaurant, with food and drinks on the table in front of them.
Sen. Durbin isnβt taking Kristi Noemβs crap. Nor should he!

I know it's hard, but do not turn away from this regime's cruelty and violence. Remember it. Document it. Defend against it when you can. Let it influence your voting. And know that this will be needed in defying them now and holding them accountable as soon as we can.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

Millions will go hungry because Trump and Republicans won't use available funds to keep SNAP running during the shutdown.
And they won't end the shutdown because they refuse to extend ACA subsidies that will keep insurance premiums from doubling for millions.
