This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me.
Dem govs must step up and fill the void.

C’mon @quigley.house.gov Why be part of this?
When Representative Mike Quigley looked at President Joe Biden, he was reminded of something painfully familiar, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson write:
The Congressman Who Saw the Truth About Biden
While many Democrats remained in denial, Mike Quigley perceived something painfully familiar.

JB unintentionally trolling with that old word grocery
I've heard from those in Venice that the lack of affordable grocery options was taking a toll.
Today, I'm announcing a $2.4M investment for them to build a new, municipally owned grocery store — and over $10M to address food deserts statewide through our Grocery Initiative.

JB unintentionally trolling with that old word grocery
A lot of people are saying that when Mars is in retrograde, it's bad for the economy. And we're looking into it, folks, we're looking into it. A 25% tariff on Mars isn't out of the question at this point

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.
