Donald Trump’s agents are untrained, unqualified, unprofessional, and dangerous.

It’s time for them to stop their assault on American cities.

When Donald Trump says who he really is, believe him.

He's raising your grocery prices.
He's violating your civil rights.
He's rolling back your health care.
He's taking away your education.

It's past time to stand up, push back, and be loud for America.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

One demotion cannot detract from accountability.

Trump’s Spending Bill means fewer people will have food on their table – by design.

He's forcing states like Illinois to create more bureaucracy for families to get the help they need.

All this to support tax breaks for the rich.
