@govpritzker.illinois.gov My People yearn for freedom. If Indiana takes away our votes through gerrymandering, your proportionate response would be our liberation. Please send us a South Shore Line train filled with new congressional maps, deep dish pizza, and Pope Leo Bobbleheads!!
Lol, I tested this not too long ago and it is possible to make a map with minimal population variety between districts and >10% partisan lean in all districts!
Be brave Illinois!

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.
“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

Just finished repairing my LMB brass Mohawk! This is my first time running a brass locomotive, and I really think it's worth it. The texture, roughness, and luster of the material makes the model feel so much more accurate. That's why I'm running it with authentic wooden box cars.

9. We MAY get a CR that is "clean" with no anti-trans provisions in it, but don't prematurely celebrate if we do because that is NOT the real fight. That would be "we've extended our negotiations for another month or two while we hammer out what's in the final bill."

1. There's a lot of confusion about this out there. Let me make it easier:
There are two ways to keep the government open: The full FY26 appropriations bill for the entire year, and a continuing resolution to keep it open for a few months at current levels.
Both are part of negotiations right now.

People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
