Read MoreTranscript: How Chicago Is Fighting Trump’s Outrageous ICE Policies
And, we can’t ignore the fact that cities like Chicago, like Oregon, like L.A., are living in day-to-day fear from its own government. We need to talk about what’s happening in Chicago, and how it’s interconnected with this government shutdown. They’re not separate issues, they’re all interconnected. But here’s the problem.

The Treasury is supposed to listen to Congress when deciding where that money goes. Musk, a South African-born billionaire with little evident understanding of American civics or political culture, had a different idea.
