Governor Pritzker speaks while standing next to Texas Democratic legislators.

House Majority Leader Gene Wu speaks at a press conference. Several legislators, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, stand behind him.

Donald Trump is trying to cheat the system in Texas, but these Democratic legislators refuse to let it happen without a fight. 

Their fight is our fight. I’m proud to stand side-by-side with them as they protect their constituents.

Always great. Just curious where the MD-north line would fit in. Just unmodified metra service?

Um…

Ah so much makes sense

1) This is a good idea;
2) It alone is not a solution to gerrymandering; and
3) Would require an act of congress that is currently controlled by Republicans.

Many such things these days

the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and those weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbors who all hated each others' guys until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry

impulsing buying a switch 2. could do worse 😆

Dont hate it..

Governor Pritzker receives the Champion for Families Award from One Family Illinois.

Honored tonight to be receiving the Champion for Families Award from One Family Illinois.

I’ll hold it close to my heart, but I will not rest on my laurels.

There's still work to be done to ensure that every Illinois child grows up in a healthy, supportive environment.

Was it a good advertised deal? Otherwise why did you go there??

Donate to Texas Democratic Party Show your support with a contribution.

As I said in another post, this is literally the front line in the fight against American fascism and Trump government corruption. I hope folks are paying attention.

Texas Democrats will need your support over the coming weeks. You can contribute here.

Correct! Also the Democratic party supports a national ban and the Republicans do not.

YES! Straight Into my veins 💉

ONLY ONE PARTY WANTS TO END THIS PROCESS FOR EVERYONE (and its not the damn Republicans!)

Right but it's not clear SCOTUS would bless moving the other ALJ court operations into that model given how they are acting right now regarding executive power.

Yes but crucially they are distinct from the article 3 inferior courts under SCOTUS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal...

Technically the bankruptcy courts are "article I" courts

Sign me up!

Bravo Sir

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

You don’t end a war by demanding that one side unilaterally disarm when the aggressor party refuses to and has rejected multiple peace offers from that side

Damit Ed You made this 37 year old feel old

Claiming Dems haven’t supported a national gerrymandering ban is false.

House Dems passed it in 2021 & 48/50 Senate Dems voted to curb the filibuster to pass it. Only Sinema & Manchin dissented.

SCOTUS also split along party lines in 2019 when the GOP justices said federal courts can’t overturn it

FUCK
YES
