Show me your budget, I'll show you your values.

Donald Trump has spent weeks telling you he'd rather pay for golden toilets and ballrooms than SNAP benefits and health care subsidies.

And he wants to use your money to pay for it.

I am once again so glad that Durbin is retiring.

Trump endorses a Democrat, and suddenly Dick Cheney is dead. Coincidence??

Not in charge when they are the majority. These Republicans only know how to see themselves as the victim. Pathetic.

What's fun about this is that he broke off from him 1534, and he broke off from him in 1776.

Not the millions about to see their health insurance costs double.

Not the 42 million who are about to lose food assistance.

Not the federal workers who are working without pay.

His top priority is his $300 million vanity golden ballroom.

It's gross to say that not having enough babies is a national security threat. That's a very small step away from quotas. These men are just gross with their obsession with fertility.

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.

They can say we're all terrorists & criminals. They can call cities shitholes, hellholes, & war zones. They can call us all Marxist communists.

But God forbid one lady use the word "deplorables" one time. They cry for weeks. Their projections of toughness are just that, projections.

Snowflakes.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

"Feckless" is about the only safe f-word I can think of to describe so many people who do not deserve to be this close to power.

If Johnson can't follow the day-to-day of political news, he's admittedly an idiot, undeserving of his job.

Illinois is not a photo opportunity or warzone, it’s a sovereign state where our people deserve rights, respect, and answers.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked β€” what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers β€” what would we say?

Authoritarianism β€” let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

3) Waiting from 2016 to 2025 with that info just makes one person look bad, and it isn't Trump.

It's of little impact to say anything now. Mr. Bush needs to either put up or shut up.

2) He doesn't care about his standing politically. He only cared when he needed votes. He doesn't plan to need votes again.

These racist, Islamophobic, hateful ideas should be ridiculed and mocked to the ages for the shameful stupidity that they are. Could he feel shame, his heart would surely implode.

One policy solution to Young Men we should be considering is Universal Basic Electric Guitar (UBEG). I'm not joking, by the way. Kids of any gender should get a low-cost starter kit for some hobby of their choosing once they turn 13. A camera, paints, a cheap sampler, etc.

"State Sovereignty, National Union."

I'm glad to have a governor who believes in both, even when the President does not.

"State Sovereignty, National Union."

The people of Illinois, along with our governor, mean both parts of our motto.

An old book titled, "Reports on the Alleged Corrupt Combinations of Members of Congress, with the Statements of the Parties Implicated."

I would say that we should bring this back, but I worry that we couldn't sustainably harvest enough trees to print the book.
