The Chuck Schumer videos is great, make no mistake.

But man, he now owes Mamdani that endorsement.

He basically taught Schumer how to make a viral video.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” Pritzker said; “This is a man who has something stuck in his head. He can’t get it out. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities."

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

This is a good way to hit back at Trump's deranged statements and calls to jail Democrats.

Media needs to focus on his mental decline. Democrats must force media to do it.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

@senangusking.bsky.social was at the same event where Collins whined about Democrats

He knows she's full of shit. But, for now, is voting the same way she is

Joe Sudbay @joesudbay.bsky.social · 1d

Last December, every Maine media outlet dutifully reported that Senator Collins became the VERY powerful Chair of Senate Approps

Nine months later, she's powerless, got rolled by Vought and can only whine about Democrats

Two people whose original claims to fame were that the other staffers at the New York Times thought they were whiny weirdos.

One felt "ostracized" because he liked Chik fil A, the other quit because she was "bullied" there.

They're the poster children for self-imposed cancel culture martyrdom.

Apparently, you're now not a real American with full privileges unless you'r a "Heritage American," with your name in the Civil War directory.

They just keep making their base smaller and smaller. Wouldn't that exclude Trump?
