Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.
Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.
The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.

The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich.
Republicans passed this knowing people will die.
They know people will lose their health care.
They know children will go hungry.
They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.

He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.
