Controversial opinion: false spring is actually the best season

Barack and Michelle Obama, two of the most impactful leaders our country has seen, deserve our respect and gratitude, not overtly racist videos from a manchild dictator. It’s no coincidence he’s making these attacks during Black History Month, and we cannot normalize this. Shame on Donald Trump.

Dr. J brought it last night. This is why I'm so excited about @julianastratton.bsky.social. We desperately need more Senators with a backbone and a fighting spirit. Joyful warriors. Not people who are trying to work together and find common ground with fascist thugs.

Me too!

Love @theassemblync.bsky.social and this is a great piece, but it's a bogus headline. This isn't a purity test. If you repeatedly vote with Republicans to override your Governor's veto, then you know what, you don't get the party's organizing toolkit for free. It's a privilege, not an entitlement.

Another reason I'm proud to support @julianastratton.bsky.social for Senate. "Abolish ICE" — along with "Ban X" and "Remove Trump from office immediately" — should be a basic, litmus-test position for any Democrat running for federal office

Never thought I could be this happy while also surviving multiple heart attacks #beardown

Men will do literally everything except paid family leave

"How come you never report on the work elephants do in outer space?"

Fresh off a massive electoral victory everywhere from New Jersey to Mississippi to California, Dems ride the wave of momentum to [checks notes] complete capitulation on everything.

BREAKING: A man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington, D.C., is found not guilty of assault.

Congrats NYC!!

Hey Democratic leader of the US Senate, in today's election, did you vote for the Democratic nominee? Or the known repeat sexual harasser from the "Fight and Deliver" party who was endorsed by Trump and Stephen Miller? "Look, I voted"

So awesome to ride home on 100mph passenger rail after voting to save transit

Ok and now we’re on to transit!!

As this was just discussed in the Executive Committee, our transit funding and reform proposal is officially public. So let's talk about it! How did we get here, what are we doing, and how are we paying for it? A thread!

As a reminder, we’ve already passed one major bill this week: a transformative clean energy package. Battery storage, virtual power plants, energy efficiency, and long term planning to help hold down price spikes. Waiting on the Senate to take final action. www.ilga.gov/Legislation/...

OK — today feels like as good a time as any to start posting on here! I'm posting live from the IL House floor. Got a lot of important business before we adjourn tonight. Big topics: saving the CTA; keeping our neighbors safe from immigration raids; budget changes to protect us from Trump.
