What last night proves, above all else, is that centrist Democrats like Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, and AOC can work together with moderate Republicans like Abigail Spanberger and Gavin Newsom to push back on MAGA fascism.

In Belmont Cragin on Chicago's northwest side this morning, a rally is opening in support of day laborers outside the Armitage/Cicero Home Depot. Activists are calling out the corporation for continuing to allow ICE and Border Patrol to stalk and attack immigrants in their parking lots.

I do find it telling that HCA3 has not been filed yet. If it was truly meant as a backup plan if HCA2 went sideways (it did), it would have already been introduced but instead it's a bit of a scramble on the last day of session to get something passed.

Per Capitox Fax, it is looking as if the revenue package is: - All sales tax on gas/diesel goes to transit ~$750m + - 0.25% increase in the RTA sales tax + - All interest on the Road Fund gets to about $1.5B

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

The House should finally move the Senate bill, amend the dates to not take effect until after July 1, pass it with a simple majority, kick it back to the Senate for a quick concurrence (where it already has 33+ votes), and get it to the Gov. Should be possible to do in a day.

Ellis orders Border Patrol to submit, under seal, all of the use of force incidents in Chicago by the end of the day. She also wants all of the body-worn camera footage. Bovino says the "sheer volume" of the reports makes that impossible.
