We now live in a world in which Marjorie Taylor Greene is willing to call out Donald Trump, but John Fetterman won’t.

2025 is weird as fuck.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

They’re distracting you with talk about healthcare premiums while a dictator runs wild...snatching Americans off the streets, looting hundreds of millions, and tearing down the White House. At this rate, healthcare will be the least of America’s worries.

Illinois is truly in the Middle of Everything, with a tourism industry that's booming like never before.

With yet another record-breaking year, we really have something for everyone as a world-class destination — and we are proud to welcome visitors from across the globe.

More than 420 anti-science bills attacking longstanding public health protections – vaccines, milk safety and fluoride – have been introduced in statehouses across the U.S. this year, part of an organized, politically savvy campaign to enshrine a conspiracy theory-driven agenda into law.

You know how when you buy a new car you see that model of car everywhere? You know how when you get a new puppy you see that breed of puppy everywhere? Wouldn’t you think that if you got skull tattoo you’d notice that same skull when it showed up in movies or in history books? He is lying.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for White House ballroom donors.

Then he went to Mar-a-Lago for a $1 million-per-person dinner benefiting his super PAC.

Last night, he treated big GOP donors to dinner on his new White House patio.

The government has been shut down for 22 days.

This is a big deal… my congressman has been in DC for 24 years and hasn’t held a Townhall since 2012.

His rural constituents are standing up.

The East Wing Obscenity

This piece is on the free side of the paywall, and I have to admit that writing it made me more sad than I could have imagined. The ugly destruction isn’t just to a building, but to memory, history, and American grace.

The demolition was timed as retribution for the NO KINGS marches. It’s the abuse and sadism we endure every time a malignant narcissist suffers narcissistic injury and needs to heal his deep wounds.

Is he now going to pay every American that had been investigated or just himself. Never mind we all know the answer.

Trump is head of the DOJ and demanding we pay him $230 million because, though guilty, he forced DOJ to drop the case, and now he is AGAIN a pathetic, whiney VICTIM. L

Every Republican needs to speak up or be asked about this by media. The grifter is grifting.
I guess who needs food for Thanksgiving when what's there to be thankful for in America right now?

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Donald Trump’s administration doesn’t respect the Constitution.

But they’re learning that Illinois does not and will not bow under their tyranny.

It’s exactly what they want to do. They are destroying history everyday by changing the narrative of our past… 😔

"Sparked complaints by Democrats...?" So Republicans don't give 2 fucks about the WH? These the same Republicans who didn't want Kamala Harris in there smelling the people's house up with her Indian curry? But it's just fine for this fucker to demolish it? Jesus.
