Just a reminder that your local deputies have far more authority under the Constitution than agents of ICE. These gestapo are cosplaying.

BREAKING: An appeals court denied the Trump administration's latest effort to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area. This ruling is more confirmation that President Trump's attempts to send troops into our communities are unjustified and cannot continue.

Friendly reminder to make upgrades this year. Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act gave us a 30% tax credit for certain energy efficient upgrades. Trump’s “Bill Beautiful Bill” killed them. You have until December 31. Planning to replace my HVAC units, my water heater, and beef up my insulation.

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t). I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.
