I don’t always get mad about porch pirates…
…but when I do, it’s because a relative sent a gift for my wife, who has been in the hospital for a week, and apparently it can’t sit on my front porch for more than 5 minutes without some lowlife swiping it.

Brian Glenn is Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend and would never be allowed in a legitimate Washington press corps in the Before Times. This is why the White House decided it must implode the White House press corps in favor of dutiful propagandists.
There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

15 years ago, the Supreme Court’s conservative justices opened the floodgates of unlimited money in our elections, putting a for-sale sign on our government and a price tag on our democracy. We must #EndCitizensUnited and put the people back in charge.

Immigrants drive Chicago’s economy, past, present, & future.
Chicago has always been a city of immigrant workers, regardless of status, whether from Venezuela, Ireland, Mexico, or Poland.
The labor movement was built on that foundation. And we are sticking with those principles.
