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.

In response to Charlie Kirk getting gunned down by an ultra rightwing white republican Mormon, MAGA is calling for the elimination of … liberal democrats. Well, I’m a liberal democrat. Come at me, bro. Take your shot.
