After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

"Look at 1930s, 1940s Germany," the Illinois National Guard member continued. "There is a point where if you didn't stand up to the Gestapo, are you just actively one of them now?"

Two Illinois National Guard members speak out: "I won't turn against my neighbors."
