It is easy to imagine that if China invaded Taiwan, if Russia invaded a NATO country, or if North Korea invaded South Korea, Trump would do nothing to stop them. He will choose dictators over democracy every time.

Last year, Amazon profits soared 44% to $89B while their tax bill dropped from $9B to $1.2 B. Meanwhile, the company just announced massive layoffs. This is the new criminal economy.

Per the City of Chicago website, every single category of crime is down. A lot of people have worked hard to make this happen, from violence interruptors and police to philanthropic, faith, business, and community leaders.

ICE is a lawless, rogue agency. 60% of the people arrested by ICE have no criminal convictions. #StateofEmergency

Putin gets the red carpet treatment in Alaska while Zelensky gets humiliated in the oval office. We know where the President's sympathies lie. With the instigator, not the freedom fighter.

The right-wing assault on freedom has consequences for all Americans. It's more than ICE. It's education. It's economics. It's personal. It's everything. Maybe it's a topic that will help Dems reconnect with people across the political spectrum. www.facebook.com/share/p/16cS...

Oh by the way, gun violence is down more than 40% in Chicago this year. Thanks to everyone. Peacekeepers, police, public officials, and most of all people pushing peace. You can hear from some of them on our new podcast License To Operate.
