Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list.
I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.

No senior executive with any brains would believe they could get a factory built, re-shore a critical operation at a much higher labor cost, and then find out the Idiot In-Chief has changed his mind.

This is a low estimate. Obviously, it depends on how long the tariffs are in place. This will gut the economy of the US, with the average taxpayer taking the hit. #Billionaires won't feel a thing. #Trump for the win - what in #Idiot.
Seriously, don’t ever tell me “conservatives” are good with the economy again. There’s been a ton of evidence for a long time that it’s obviously not true, enough that people who’ve claimed that at any point should be embarrassed — but it’s so horribly clear now that the claim should make you angry.
