The bad guys look at them and they say, we're not going to mess around.
Well, I want to credit, first of all, the people of Illinois, the people of Chicago for having helped us develop the playbook about how to deal with the onslaught from the federal government.
We, of course, encourage people to peacefully protest.
And they did.
We encourage people to speak up and speak out because it matters if we're being loud in favor of democracy and pushing back.
And importantly, we've taken them to court, you know, from the very, very beginning when they were talking about bringing the National Guard or at least federalizing, bring them into our cities.
We immediately went to court.
And on every issue throughout the first year in office for Donald Trump, we have at
every turn pushed back, taken them to court.
And frankly, we've won most of those cases.
And so I feel good about at least the judiciary is holding up in this time of, well, challenges to democracy.
I want to also add, though, that
You know, what's really affecting people's lives on a daily basis, and I don't want to discount what's happening on the streets, in neighborhoods where people are being attacked by ICE and CBP, but remember that other people who are not directly affected by that, their lives have been made worse.
You know, the promises that Donald Trump made about lowering prices, about affordability, about making people's lives better, all of them were lies.
And
Over and over again, we've seen this administration not only fail to live up to their promises, but persistently when they're challenged, they lie.
And I want to say that about ICE and CBP and DHS.
You know, Tricia McLaughlin, who's their spokesperson, consistently lies, doesn't have any facts, will come out with statements a half an hour after an incident when she doesn't really have any information.
They're just making things up so that the public will think, oh, everything's just fine when they're shooting moms in the face.
I mean, this is a you know, the American public are beginning to see that this administration is a danger to their futures.
