Trump has been invading US cities for months. His goons have kidnapped American children. They have kidnapped and murdered immigrant residents. And now they have murdered a US citizen.
I stand with Walz.
We have been at war for months. It is time for our elected officials to acknowledge it.

Did the early voting thing in my state's primary today. Chose the progressive candidate when that was an option. No, I don't think we're gonna solve this mess solely through voting but given that I'm the kind of person they want to disenfranchise, it felt a nice piece of spite to vote while I can.

America is building camps for legal immigrants right now. What will we tell our kids and grandkids when they asked why we allowed it to happen again?
On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

Illinois was the first in the Midwest to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour.
For 1.4 million workers, it was their first raise in nearly a decade.
I promised as a candidate to build an economy that works for everyone — and that's been a priority of my administration.

This is a slap in the face to veterans, their caregivers, and their families.
This is not a drill. Make some good trouble for the people who put literally everything on the line for this country while the regime steals from them. Public comment is open from now until April 20. Tell them this is BS.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Disabled veterans shouldn’t lose benefits because their medication works.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is considering a rule that could lower disability ratings for vets managing service-connected conditions.
Brian Mast is himself a disabled veteran, where is he on this?
