“Just a simple man trying to make his way through the universe.”
I’ve never regretted a vote less. Thanks for restoring my faith in IL politics Governor. From a late millennial who’s known nothing but chaos.
Last week, I proposed our seventh balanced budget under my administration.

Not only does it preserve the progress we've made, but it also focuses on the long-term fiscal health of the state while continuing our investments in education, health care, and more.

Let's get it done.

While this is ridiculous and unacceptable? I find humor in the fact that half of the eggs these people are loading up on will never get used and likely spoil. Wasting money hoarding an expensive product is just counter productive to the issue.
🚨 BREAKING

We are getting reports of a run on eggs at Costco locations throughout the country.

Sources describe scenes of pandemonium with people running around the store to stock up on supplies, similar to the beginning of COVID.

Donald Trump. Pete Hegseth. RFK Jr. Elon Musk. Matt Gaetz.

What do they all have in common—besides sexual misconduct allegations?

The young men who idolize them.

A brutal takedown of the alt-right pipeline, and the men who fail to step up.
Not All Men.
But, definitely these five...

I don’t always agree with former Rep. Kinzinger. But having lived in the area he represented and worked in media before it largely went off the deep end? I can appreciate the sense he’s speaking and his willingness to call out MAGAts.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

I have to admit that as closely as I've followed everything, I was shocked by the amount of damage Trump was able to do yesterday with everything he signed and declared

Trump just pardoned these people.

Slowly working towards being able to stream some of my favorite games. Has not been an easy road to this point. But I’ve got a lot of lessons along the way to be grateful for. The tools will be there. Question is will my mentality and drive be there?

It’s a hazard rooting for the Bears. Thankfully I have video games. It’s a Subnautica kind of night!

Taking bets on how long I make it through this Bears/Packers game. I can only take so much abuse as a Chicagoan. Come December it’ll be 6 full calendar years since my team has beaten Green Bay.

I won’t get political too often in my posts. But I will say this. I’m tired. In every sense of the word and that word alone isn’t enough. But to anyone anxious and overthinking about the future? Focus on your next step. Accomplish that, then take the next step. And remind yourself you matter. Often.
