“The revealed preference is their core voters actively enjoy being taken for a ride by the most obvious scam artists you’ve ever seen, as long as they validate their morbid pathologies about race and gender as they do so.” www.liberalcurrents.com/respecting-r...

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said. From the archives:

California subió el salario mínimo. Los economistas dijeron que la medida fracasaría estrepitosamente. No fue así. Fue justo al revés.

Decorated SEAL Hero Calls on Barron Trump to Join Military ‘SEND YOUR OWN’ www.thedailybeast.com/democrats-fl...

The ONLY reason he was able to bankrupt a casino was because he was using it for money laundering.

The Way of Hypocrites.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “We can cough up the cash when there’s political will,” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes about the Pentagon’s $200 billion request for the war in Iran. “But where is the political will to get people health care or education, to build rather than to destroy?”

Trymp has no fealty to the United States. He’s aligned with the wealthy.

Congratulations to Governor JB Pritzker and Christian Mitchell as they move forward as the Democratic ticket for Governor and Lieutenant Governor! Under Gov. Pritzker’s leadership, we proved that our state moves forward when we stand up for each other. We are united and ready to win in November.

Congratulations to Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton on becoming the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate! Juliana has spent her career fighting for working families and expanding opportunity across Illinois. We are proud to stand with her as we unite toward victory in November.

Got to love judges. There’s a reason they are often appointed for life: to resist political pressure.

SICKENING!!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

We continued the message with Downstate voters today: if you're voting by mail, send in your ballot by 5PM tomorrow. 📬 Thanks to Rep. Nikki Budzinski and Adams County Democrats Chair @kfsdaniels.bsky.social for joining DPI Chair Lisa Hernandez to help get the word out.

An absolute POS

What a complete a$$!

A mom & her son watch the viral clip of the USA hockey team’s phone call with Trump. She uses this as a teachable moment to expose their misogyny and harmful attitudes toward women. It is a beautiful thing.🥹Her account is @payalforstyle on IG. Take a listen!👇🏼 #teachyourchildrenwell #pinks

$8.4 Billion. That’s how much Donald Trump is costing the people of Illinois. Real dollars that real Illinoisans paid in federal taxes are owed.

Elliott and I talked about precisely this during our livestream today. Give it a listen:

We know that Trump is going to repeat the “I’ve been exonerated on Epstein” line every single day forever because that’s what he does. Would it be totally outrageous for someone then to simply ask him who it was that exonerated him so we can get some clarification on that?

Andrew the Accountable Formerly the Prince

Apparently, if some right-wing YouTube account posts a video about fraud, that means the Trump administration will jump to attention and block child care funding for an ENTIRE state. This is NOT accountability or oversight—it's blind accusations and a witch hunt.

Ladies, vote like your lives depend on it. Because it literally does. #VoteBLUE #SheShed

Petitioning our government is our First Amendment right. A right that exists even under this regime. Even under a Missouri GOP supermajority. These Representatives don’t care about you. Stop voting for them. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

The diagnosis also includes sadism!

With much love to you all, let this stand as a reminder of why we fight so hard, risk so much to help the people in our communities. If we do not, if we withhold our help and stand silently, we are not better than hate.

YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT A CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RING ... IT'S THE REPUBLIKKKLAN PARTY!! An 86 pg DOJ prosecution memo that INCLUDED DETAILS ON “POTENTIAL CO-CONSPIRATORS” of Jeffrey Epstein “MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED” from the DOJ’s website after the agency was asked about the document by a reporter

By late Friday afternoon, the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement saying authorities had received Abreu-Vasquez's medications and that ICE would work to ensure he received them. But on Sunday afternoon, his wife told MPR News that he still hadn't received the life-saving medication.

Vonnegut punch.

Consistently useless.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I have no words 😶 to explain how much character this young boy displayed.

Impacts are far reaching. Its not just the patient but the care givers and families as well. Impacts can hit harder when the parent or family member is the care giver.

For some reason, legislators are trying to negotiate with chips we already have. ICE is already required to get a judicial warrant before entering homes.
