ILLINOIS Candidate for Congress @abugai.bsky.social : “You said Prizker & Johnson need a history lesson - I’d like to give you one: when masked men are kidnapping entire families, naked, zip-tying their hands and throwing them into U-haul trucks… they’re usually not the good guys.”

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

The loyalty purge continues. This week, FBI Director Kash Patel dismissed two longtime agents who had previously worked with Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led the federal investigations into Trump. Both agents had strong performance records, and no official reason was provided for their removal.

Call me old school, but I don't think a person illegally blowing up boats and unleashing masked goons on his citizens would be a serious candidate for a peace prize.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

It’s my wedding anniversary. I never thought I’d marry or even have a bf. I asked Andy if it was okay if it was -or I was UNromantic to go on the road today and he said “every day is the anniversary of how great our marriage is; just come home.”

House Republicans are now using the shutdown that THEY STARTED to justify not swearing in a duly elected Democratic Representative.

Why?

Maybe because she'll be the final signature we need to release Epstein files.

There is no excuse for playing with people's health care to protect pedophiles.

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."
