I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Undereducated & no desire to learn?

Amazing - someone somewhere did a great job

What authority or standing could she possibly presume to have as if she is the victim? Ugh

His projection is so transparent.

Ridiculous

S.2070 is ONLY brake on martial law. It stops President from using the military domestically for more than 7 days without Congress. Why is this sitting in committee? @SenSchumer, force the vote or lose the country. #PassS2070 #NoMartialLaw

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Typical Trump, "We're not refunding tariffs, they can spend the next five years suing us in court".

Same. Same.

(From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Almost half of women in USA are married. Approx 13% are on 2nd marriage and 3% on 3rd or more. Imagine waiting to vote while she presents 3 marriage licenses, 2 divorce decrees, birth certificate & passport to an average poll worker who has 2 hours of training making minimum wage for a 14 hr shift.

BS. Most people do not have a certified copy of their birth certificate and have no clue how to get one. A passport is around $130 and more than half of USA doesn't have one because they have never traveled internationally. Almost 12% of USA lives below poverty line and could never afford that.

SAVE act would require voter registration to EXACTLY match birth certificate despite state-issued ID having a woman's legal name verified and printed on there. So married women would have to produce certified birth certificates, certified marriage licenses, certified divorce decrees, etc to vote.

How do you support a bill with no understanding of what it says and does? Seriously. There is less than a hundredth percent of voters mistakenly (note: not maliciously) voting in elections they didn't meet requirements for.

Women and POC but you should know that.

🤷🏼

Horrifying AND illegal

Still. Did 5 months ago and still do.

SAVE act is a voter preventing method not protection. JEEZ

BS it is important we move forward and get rid of him his cabinet of pedophiles and perverts. We know how we got here.

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison
