Hey Illinois followers - sign and send to @durbin.senate.gov since that geriatric coward caved and voted yes!
🖋️ “Fight for all Americans: do not cave on the shutdown!” hit 100 signers!

💬 Text SIGN PZBDFP to 50409
Fight for all Americans: do not cave on the shutdown!
Text SIGN PZBDFP to 50409 — Do not agree to reopen the government without major concessions on the ACA subsidies and SNAP backpayments. If any of your Democratic Party colleagues are considering reopening the government, please ensure they know that doing so will not achieve your policy goals, will squander the momentum that progressives have built these last few weeks, and will alienate voters who have stood by the Democratic Party and given you cover to fight for the American people. The government shutdown has caused harm to so many of us. It continues to wreak havoc across the country, and the pain is likely to increase until this is all over. But it pales into insignificance compared to the pain and anger that will result from caving to the Trump administration’s wishes now. The majority of the country understands that the shutdown was caused and is being perpetuated by the Republican Party as a whole, headed by a figure whose incompetence you are laying bare for all to see clearly. The country needs you and the Democratic Party to stand strong for healthcare, food assistance, and restitution of the harms inflicted by HR1. You must fight for the majority of Americans who need you to push back against the Trump regime’s willful cruelty and incompetence. Do not back down. Do not cave. Resist!

Was listening to a very in-depth discussion on what point blank range of a meat sandwich is with @libradunn1.bsky.social and @muellershewrote.com on Cleanup on Asile 45. All laughs aside, I feel like @neildegrassetyson.com could answer this.

I hope he does.

Well said. Can we have more of this and less of @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social?
Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Question for any financial experts out there:

If no more than 28% of your monthly gross income should go towards housing costs, how much should go to health insurance premiums?

Some good reporting here @dailybeanspod.com
A judge blasted Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino for violating her order to stop using excessive force.

“Kids dressed in Halloween costumes walking to a parade do not pose an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer,” the judge said. blockclubchi.co/4qukilG

@dailybeanspod.com - I’m sure you’re on top of this but check out the last paragraph of the article. It says a lot about how ICE will follow judicial orders w/o directly saying it.

1/6 Hey #Chicago followers - or if you know people in the City - there is a city wide whistle packing event happening this Wednesday 10/29. If you’re interested in attending one here is the info.

If you’re aware of any others please share in the comments!

Please share!

#Chicago residents, remember that ICE cannot be on private property w/o a warrant w/o your consent. If you own the property they are attempting to make an “arrest” on, start recording and tell them it is private property and you do not give them permission to be on it. It’s our 4th amendment right.

Can someone please explain to me why it’s acceptable for them to pay millions of dollars to support POTUS, but it’s unacceptable for them to pay taxes to the support American people?

Everyone should be asking their congressmen this as they’re the ones who control the purse.
What do these corporate donors expect in return for their money?

It looks like bribery for special favors from the Trump administration.

You heard it folks, it’s not about lowering costs, affordable healthcare, opening the government, restoring SNAP benefits, funding cancer research, ending the war in Ukraine….

Anything that actually helps the American people. Not a priority to this dictator.
Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov - there have been judicial orders that these people are not allowed to use tear gas and are required to wear body cameras - who is holding them accountable?
