Imagine these wockaflockas blowing up random boats off the coast of Ireland. You can't, can you?

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

Every day, Mike Johnson blatantly lies right to the faces of the Capitol Hill press. And every day they just take it.

So in a hundred years, presuming the country survives yeah yeah, what kind of joke will people make about this period, when the people were starving and the president was horny for a marble bathroom?

I think 🤔 I see the problem.

Jimmy Carter Walked The Walk.....

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

I think his scientists should experiment on him…

Can Sec. Noem look at Goerge Retes, Lenardo Vanegas, and 170+ U.S. citizens in the eye and lie to their face? We’ve read the reports, heard the stories, and seen the videos. Americans citizens, including children, are being illegally detained. This is the racial profiling dragnet we warned about.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

🔊There’s NO standing authorization for attacking Venezuela. Per Art. I, Congress has war powers & WPR requires authorization or real emergency. *Neither exists.* Dictator in WH is manufacturing emergencies abroad to bolster political narrative at home. Congress MUST cut off funds & force a vote.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

In this election, the people have two separate but equally important choices: a city they can afford or the billionaire-backed politics of the past. Our new ad just aired during Law & Order.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this “deal” to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

Day 30 Of Your Government Shutdown Chump. Great Time To RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Public Service/Safety Announcement:

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Congress has provided a contingency plan for SNAP to keep the program going for years in case of a shut down. The USDA sneakily took the plan down. Now blue states are suing to continue benefits for their constituents. Where is the money going? #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news

Lawrence O'Donnell Lays Out The Facts ! Chump and RepubliKKKans Are Starving Children.......

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

What was Andrew Cuomo consulting about for $5 million? *Wrong* answers only. I'll start: Human resources compliance guidelines.

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social, who was indicted today for protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility: "We've been punched, dragged, thrown, shot with pepper balls, tear gassed, rubber bullets from snipers on roofs going into local businesses windows."

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal
