To be fair, the Supreme Court had also played a role in taking power for Congress and handing them to a wanna-be king in the White House.

Wanting Republicans to have a better life than they want for themselves is fucking folly, @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov

ICE Detains Citizen After Saying She Doesn’t “Look Like” Her Last Name She even had her U.S. passport on her.

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

1. Did someone arrest you for criticizing a Democratic president?

2. Did anyone prevent anybody from entering the Primary?

Conflating party politics with government power is what’s made the GOP a hot mess and leads to dictatorship.

Do not make their mistake.

🚨Democratic Governor of Maine Janet Mills just announced her campaign to defeat Susan Collins.

This is big. Winnable race now.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

So @blockclubchi.bsky.social a reporter was asking me this week what kind of action might be clearly unlawful and therefore not protected by federal immunity from state prosecution as @jbpritzker.bsky.social has suggested.

Actions that contradict a federal court order are not protected.

Hello! Federal Judge 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

This seems contemptuous.

Thanks Donald Trump!

So not only is Mexico no longer buying as much beef from Mexico, but also ground beef in the US now averaging over $6 per pound.

Ground beef is more expensive than ground turkey.

4) Eliminate sin taxes on beer
5) Eliminate income tax on first $50K

I have more…a lot more…and am happy to commute to work in California. 2/2

@govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov I think all you need to do to close the deal with Democrats is propose a bold, populist platform. I’m calling this “MAFA”: Make America Fun Again:

1) Four day work week
2) Minimum two weeks (8 days) paid vacay for every worker
3) Minimum two weeks sick days (8 days)

All I am saying is that if Jason Lee did it, he sure as hell is not the first, @chicagomayor.bsky.social @stacydavisgates.bsky.social

Chicago needs a strong, independent OIG, and engaging in political shenanigans weakens the office. Worse, it’s a bad look for the office if it only leaps in to investigate political logrolling when done by a Black, progressive mayor.

Tell me Daley, Rahm, Lightfoot never squeezed an alderman?

I am having a hard time understanding what the underlying violation of the ethics act was that the OIG was investigating? It seems that the point here was to create political embarrassment for Johnson, and the OIG should not allow itself to become embroiled in political tit-for-tat.

I think what you are seeing playing out here is the frustration of the mayor’s office that it has suddenly become an ethics violation for mayors to punish or reward aldermen who support their legislative agenda. The US Supreme Court has been adamant in its protection of logrolling.

Why is ICE tear-gassing police officers?

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Florida has a well-earned reputation for snakes, gators, Republicans and other predators. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

I absolutely love how the inflatable costume is taking off for protest! It offers protection in so many fucking ways but if they go into battle, we will need to level the costumes up for extended dancing in tear gas smoke. Let’s talk 🧵🧵🧵🧵

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Stay Strong Illinois. Always remember you are never alone. Big Love from Laa Vegas 💙💙
