We are sending billions to bomb a country that did not attack us.

I am against this war.

I am against any of this unprovoked military action.

We need to be putting our money into the people rather than into bombs.

We need to be calling a genocide what it is.

And additionally, we need to understand the idea of leverage, whether that's domestically and not caving the second that things get spicy because Republicans need to suffer consequences for their actions

or in foreign policy.

The fact that even with the war crimes that Israel has committed with our own tax dollars, that my opponent is still willing to fund the Iron Dome, violating our own laws, by the way, we are not supposed to send aid to another country if they are committing war crimes until we are able to investigate and rectify this issue and hold those perpetrators accountable, shows that he's not serious about protecting the American people or protecting anyone else that's being killed by our weapons.

I mean, me too.

I grew up in red states too, just one state south of the one that you grew up in.

There is a reason I don't live there.

There is a reason that I live in Chicago, which is where many people are coming as refugees in our own country for reproductive rights, for queer rights, for immigrant rights, for climate change.

One in four abortions in the Midwest is done in Chicago.

They are coming for us.

There's a reason that Midway Blitz hit us so hard because Chicago is used as a boogeyman in the Chicago area.

Not only do we need to a codify abortion in our Constitution as a right, the right to your own body, but we also need to lift any restrictions.

When Republicans try to turn the conversation into limits based on your pregnancy term, what they are really saying is that on the worst day of your life, in the

very rare cases that you have to terminate a pregnancy six seven eight nine months in it's that that's the worst day of your life it's not you just saying oh i don't want to have a baby anymore it is there is a threat to your life or your child

will not make it.

And we can't be relying on male judges to decide whether your life is worth it.
