Today and every day, we recognize the hardworking Illinoisans who work around the clock to put food on our tables and carry on our proud agricultural traditions.

Know that we’ll always have your back.

Happy National Farmer’s Day!

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

Recently, Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi that was meant to be a direct message. I want to know what other official messages he's sending to cabinet members.

Plus, she's still hurt by being passed over by the likes of Laura Loomer and such. If she wants to name names and burn things to the ground, I'm for it. But, I will never forget how heinous she has always been, never.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

The Chicago Sun-Times asked people on the street what they thought of the Texas National Guard being in the area.

Best response: "They should have waited until January and had them bring a snow shovel. They might be useful then."

They'd be greeted as liberators!

I remember. I remember Obama being all choked up when he said it. How did this world get so many sick people in it?

I believe they are looking into it. The girl's aunt had said on a live FB post that they were looking for an attorney.

No they don't. I remember years ago Kushner mentioned that was prime real estate. Oceanfront, etc. Knew it back then that is what they were pushing for. They didn't care how many Palestinians they killed. They just wanted them out. All to make money. GREED!

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Pritzker: "Look, we've gotta rely on the courts to do the right thing. I realize that sometimes that's risky business, especially when some have been appointed by Donald Trump. But we've seen that even a Trump-appointed judge out in California has ruled against the administration."

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."
