Kristi Noem is mad that protesters are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

Chuck Schumer just yesterday

Today he caved 100%
If Republicans want to talk about long-term fixes to ACA affordability, Democrats are ready.

But in the meantime, doing nothing is derelict. People will go bankrupt, people will lose insurance, and people will get sicker.

Republicans cannot continue doing nothing.

One thing that often gets lost in these Oval Office press conferences (even when someone doesn't just literally collapse) is how often they consist of Trump mumbling into a binder.

I love how he gets to see the face and use the name of the officer. The whole half hour is incredible. An ICE agent would have beaten an immigrant with his attitude to the ground multiple times over. Incredible unmasked, named professionalism local PD.

Believe it or not, some Democrats voted for this. 75 Democrats voted to Thank ICE. Even more, Democrats voted for the Laken Riley Act, which allowed anyone accused of a crime to be deported.

Guess what? My opponent, Nikki Budzinski, voted for both.

This is not correct

A cloture vote, to end debate, is required and that needs 3/5ths of the Senate (60 votes) to pass

I'm voting for anyone willing to call Trump on this
He is out right calling for our nations armed forces to attack people associated with a voting party party. Why isn't every single news organization sounding alarms!?!?

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are using every lever to provoke our communities and incite chaos.

If Trump and Noem wanted to help Illinoisans, they would work with us — not against us — to protect public safety.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.
