I am going to sleep, and you should too, but if you're not quite ready and would like a little joy to help you toggle between The Living Nightmare and Sweet Dreams, I cannot possibly recommend this video highly enough:

$8.4 Billion.

That’s how much Donald Trump is costing the people of Illinois.

Real dollars that real Illinoisans paid in federal taxes are owed.

Gave my State of the State address today that introduced Illinois’ next balanced budget β€” focused on restoring fiscal responsibility and bringing affordability to working families.

Let’s get it done.

Oversight Democrats are not backing down.

If Les Wexner claims he doesn’t remember, then he needs to turn over his financial records and let the money tell the story.

Survivors deserve justice. It’s time for the cover-up to end.

MAGA still hasn't figured out that Pizzagate was essentially real.

Only they got the perps and the people trying to nail them backwards.

Irony much, chuds?

Trump Official Who Helped Kill USAID Now Using Its Funds for Himself Russ Vought, White House Office of Management and Budget director, has decided what is happening with USAID funds.

The historical term for this is "looting." The Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees β€œin trauma” is spending $15 million of former USAID fundingβ€”money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseasesβ€”to bankroll his security detail. trib.al/TSV3cmb

This is a fantastic ad.

Regardless of who wins the Dem primary for Maine senate race, we need someone who can act with conviction & stop throwing Mainers under the bus.

Collins is out of step with the state in ways that have become deadly.

Fascism and the English Language Telling the Truth about Attacks on Immigrants

Last July, I wrote a follow up to "Fascism and the English Language" specifically covering immigrant rights language. Concentration camps was correct then & is now. So too is not using "immigration" as qualifier for acts that are crimes.

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.
