Right when we are finally on the brink of moving forward, Trump just cut off the funding.
Timothy Johnson
The Public Record
Argentina gets $20 billion and the South Side gets nothing. What happened to America First?
From public safety to public education to public transit, this president is cutting the services that working people rely upon.
While Chicagoans and visitors are enjoying another gorgeous Sunday, they are being intimidated by masked federal agents flaunting automatic weapons for no apparent reason.
My question is: Why did Trump cut $468 million from the ATF’s budget in his nasty signature bill? Why did he cut funding for the agency responsible for getting guns off our streets by almost 30%?
The people of this city are accustomed to rising up against tyranny and if that’s necessary, I believe the people of Chicago will stand firm.
This executive order makes it emphatically clear that this president is not going to come in and deputize our police department.
This president doesn’t care about gun violence. He just wants his own secret police force that would do publicity stunts whenever his poll numbers are sinking.
