Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

#Indivisible, with liberty and justice, for all.

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of. They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Hey #DesPlaines and surrounding area! Rally with us Saturday, June 14th, 1pm-3pm at 414 E Golf Rd. No kings. No crowns. No thrones. Let’s rain on Trump’s dumb (and insanely expensive) parade!

Trump fires Librarian of Congress and Baltimorean Carla Hayden President Donald Trump fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden on Thursday, according to statements from House Democrats.

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.
 
Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

Local government is close to home and you pay a big local property tax bill, so get motivated and join me in voting please.

This.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Don’t buy today. Give the greedheads a taste of their own medicine.

“The White House belongs to the people. And its occupant answers to the people — even the people he loathes.”
So many people take joy in generic media bashing. Please take a moment to think about how important an independent press is. One day soon you just might miss it.

Marine From Nacogdoches, Texas To Flyover Super Bowl We have some skin in the game in Deep East Texas, but not just because of Patrick Mahomes.

The Super Bowl flyover of New Orleans will consist of four US Marine Corps MV-22 Ospreys and two F-35B Lighting II’s to celebrate the military service’s 250th anniversary

And once again, the TV network providing the Super Bowl coverage can’t show the entire flyover of the stadium by the US Military, this year being performed by the US Marine Corps celebrating their 250 year anniversary.

“When I was thirteen my dad bought me a portable phonograph—a gray-flocked metal turntable in a blue metal case with a handle that made it easy for me to carry it to the girls-only sleepovers we called “pajama parties.”
