Stubbornly kind. Intolerant to intolerance. Want nothing more than to enjoy a solid laugh each and every day. Can you say the same? 😳😁🤪

What can Dems learn from Mamdani? 1. He is an authentic human. 2. He cares about people. 3. He has a sense of humor. 4. He focuses on econ inequality. 5. He rejects corporate politics. 6. His policy proposals & messaging are laser-focused on affordability. www.americaamerica.news/p/six-lesson...

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

At a time when federal agents are sowing chaos in Chicago, the Trump administration is holding bipartisan funding hostage. It’s attempting to score political points but is instead hurting our economy and the hardworking people who rely on public transit to get to work or school.

Donald Trump's militarization of our city streets isn't about fighting crime or public safety — it's about consolidating power in his hands. What he plans to do with that, now or during the 2026 elections, should worry all of us.

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

The police in Illinois work closely with the ATF to get guns off our streets, with the FBI to arrest gang members, and with the DEA to destroy the fentanyl trade. So why is Trump sabotaging our ongoing work with federal law enforcement partners?

Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters. That’s how you convert a democracy into something else. Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.

In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
