Illinois State Police and Broadview Police Department arrested peaceful protesters on behalf of ICE outside the Broadview Detention Facility today. Local and state police officers were seen violently loading costumed protesters into the back of their police vans.

Douthat writes that 2024, when Harris lost by 1.5% of the popular vote, was "an ideological referendum and progressivism lost." I wonder why he didn't view the 2020 election, when Trump lost by 4.5% of the popular vote, as a far more significant loss for conservatism.
