McGovern: He would rather appeal to the highest court in the land to starve people than simply provide them with the food assistance that he is legally obligated to do. That is the Republican policy position. We will give you your food if you let us take away your health care.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.
Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into.

Not merely inappropriate, but violates statute and Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution
Trump is so addicted to tacky opulence—and so in thrall to his ego—that he is willing to debase the presidency and the country by accepting this wildly inappropriately opulent bribe from Qatar’s royal family.
You're the servant of the people, man. Not their king.
