After decades of mismanagement, Illinois is balancing our budgets, and the results are clear.

Our pension funded ratio is improving.
Our Rainy Day Fund is at record highs.
Our credit upgrades have taken us to A-level ratings.

We're not resting on our laurels, though.

He has, in fact, been spending the intervening years using millions in taxpayer money to retaliate against the women he sexually harassed with nuisance lawsuits.
Important to remember that Cuomo resigned when a lengthy, detailed report on multiple varied instances of sexual misconduct was issued, and has never addressed several of the most serious charges.
“If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have resigned,” Mr. Cuomo said in a sit-down interview Monday with The New York Times.

Democratic members of Congress should probably be made to understand that unless they throw everything they have at this, they are next.

These minerals are currently sitting atop the sea floor, waiting to be scooped up and processed. Through #NOAA’s mapping tech and licensing abilities, we are helping industry leaders find, collect and bring back these minerals to benefit the #USA & domestic manufacturing.

When the tribunals come, and they will, she better be the first to receive her sentence. These people are traitors to America and democracy.
ROBERTS: Critics will say this is the government expanding the powers of Article 1 of the Constitution, now they're arresting judges. How do you respond?

They should change their state motto to, "Indiana: Where we are on a constant search for rock bottom."
Indiana’s two-year budget was approved late Thursday by both chambers of the legislature as Democrats voiced their frustration with multiple last-minute additions, including giving the governor power over all Indiana University board of trustees appointments and decreasing funding for public health.

Genuine answer: they've all been deputized to be part of the immigration crackdown.

25%(!) of all DEA agents are now doing immigration enforcement.

This is incredibly unreported as an issue. I've been raising the alarm for months.

“It doesn’t matter who you are, you’re going to be prosecuted," said Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Unless, of course, you are a violent insurrectionist who assaults police officers, smears shit in the US capitol, and tries to overthrow an election on behalf of Donald Trump.

Sen. Van Hollen and his meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is all over the news and social media.

Joe Rogan is talking about the value of due process, wrongly denied to Abrego Garcia.

Thankfully the “just poll, then do what’s already popular, never try to lead or shape opinion” crowd lost.

The silence from the "lock her up" crowd is deafening
Leaking military strike plans via a private Signal chat isn’t just reckless. It is a staggering admission of incompetence. That such a failure occurred at the top of the Pentagon is both alarming and indefensible. Once is outrageous. Twice or more is a breakdown of command.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Our tragedy is 70+ million Americans put this dumbass in office. Our tragedy is that too many people voted for self-serving reasons. Our tragedy is that too many trees voted for the axe because it had a wood handle.
In three months, we went from global economic powerhouse to pariah.

Our tragedy is made entirely in the USA.

By one man. Donald Trump.
