What we are witnessing now will be remembered as one of the darkest periods in American history. The Trump administration has gone full fascist and their mass deportation campaign is a gross violation of human rights on American soil.
Right now, we need leaders in Congress who are unafraid to stand up to the Trump administration. Real Democrats who won’t give Trump an inch or make concessions to MAGA. As the next Congresswoman of IL-9, I will fight this administration’s fascism with the sense of urgency befitting the moment we find ourselves in now.
However, the same forces who elected Trump are coalescing to covertly buy this open Congressional seat for their trojan horse candidate. They don’t want a strong Democrat to have this seat. They want to prop up a weak Democrat who they can trample all over — controlled opposition.
