Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the line—let’s raise hell and win. 🔥 #VoteVA

Why won’t Speaker Johnson allow Bondi to testify in the House Judiciary Committee?

The American people deserve transparency, and we should not be covering up disgraceful and dangerous crimes.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Trump: "If we didn't win this election. If we had these people that were running that were ruining our country, destroying our country with their open borders and men playing in women's sports and transgender from everybody and windmills all over the place ... I'm not sure we'd even have a country."

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.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

#WhatWorks: When sugar cane is crushed to make sugar, it turns into a pulpy material known as bagasse, which then gets turned into paper.

Sugar cane can be harvested up to four times per year — much quicker than the 30 years it may take for a tree to grow and be chopped down. 🗒️🌳🍬
