Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.
β¦getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.
β¦betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.
The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

I β like Trump and RFK Jr. β do not have a medical degree.
So, when questions surrounding medical treatments emerge, I listen to people who do.
I get my information from doctors and public health experts β and urge you to do the same.

Reminds me of Bernie Sanders winning as mayor of Burlington. When the local business leaders met him, they were surprised to see that heβs just a nice guy.

A political poster I made for JB Pritzker. The top half is the image of Pritzker raising his fist in the air, triumphant. The bottom half has a red-white-and-blue border around it, and includes a quote from his recent interview on ABC: This Week (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qDS3pAw-30). The quote:
Theyβre making things up to go after people. Weβre seeing it day in and day out. And the fact that heβs made a threat against me, Iβm not afraid. Iβm going to stand up for the people of my state. And weβve got to all stand together because there is truly unconstitutional actions that are coming out of this administration, coming at the states and the people of the United States and all of us, Democrats and Republicans, need to speak out about it.
I recently watched ABC: This Week's interview with @govpritzker.illinois.gov. This was a really good interview. We watched Vance and the administration admit to making shit up, and Pritzker call him out on it on live TV. It inspired me to make this!

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

I agree that you must create leverage. I think there should be an evaluation of whether state police can enforce federal law, and if so, then state police should escort members of Congress to ICE facilities to demand inspections. By law, they are required to be let in without notice.
