A federal judge just asked the government if they're the cause of the violence in Chicago - whether this is of their own making.
Perry asks directly whether the feds started the alleged violence in Chicago.
She asks whether it matters if the inability to execute the law was "caused by the federal agents."
Hamilton: "No, your honor."

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:
“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?
The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
