Sara Paretsky

I never thought I’d see the cowardice that we’re seeing today. The heads of universities, media corps, law firms, elected officials … all afraid of a gaudy orange insecure liar. It’s just overwhelmingly shocking.

We were dumb enough to elect them

we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history

Oh so the president could release secret files if he wanted to, you say?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Governor JB Pritzker led an effort with governors from 16 states calling upon Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to release approximately $6.8 billion that the Trump Administration is withholding from schools and students across America, including in Illinois.

Trump's administration is not only openly flouting the law, but they're also abandoning their responsibility to our students.

Today, I'm joining governors across the nation calling upon Sec. McMahon to release $6.8B the administration is withholding from schools and students.

Thank you ♥️

UTAH… this is not a game…

She had time for a facial and spray-on foundation.

Nothing screams 'freedom' quite like arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.

This Jewish Chicago woman is 100 percent behind you. P.S. I often eat with my fingers

wish i could disagree but you are too right

By executive order Matt 25:34ff now reads, "Jesus said with his fingers crossed and a wink, 'I was hungry and you fed me...I was a stranger and you welcomed me...I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ ...as you did it to one of the least of my people, you did it to me.’

The Supremes seem to be against both the Constitution and against the lives of ordinary Americans. Two sick-making decisions today, this one in addition to allowing the regime to eviscerate the 14th Amendment

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Multiple choice quiz for the supremes. Which clause in the Constitution do you hate most:
1) Equal protection guarantee
2)Separation of Church & State
3) Due process
4) Free speech
5) Goals listed in Preamble
6)Protection against search & seizure
7)No involuntary servitude
8)All of the above

covert? This is a typo, right ?

In a just world, the hospital would have told HS Sec Noem, "You're out of network. Either you pay all charges or find a hospital that accepts your insurance."
Or - everyone in America would have access to taxpayer-funded gold-plated insurance available to her, Congress, and other high flyers

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan.

We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised.

That’s how democracy should function.

The Times They Are a-Changin'
