The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

What company would build a factory in the USA just to avoid the #TrumpTariffs, but with no certainty that the tariffs will last? After only 12 hours, he paused his tariffs w/o signing a single deal w/ any country or securing a single dollar from any tariff. This whole thing makes us look very stupid

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Undocumented workers are bad, so let’s have teenagers replace them working overnight so they can fall asleep in school, because who needs education when they can work for sweatshop wages?

More of this, please! Chicago is on fire, letting Musk know they are not on board with his billionaire power grab. Let's continue pushing to make Tesla the next corporate pariah. Well done, Chicagoans, for using your voice to let him know what you think of his takeover of our government.
