I’m proud and eternally grateful to be the governor of a state where we cherish our diversity.

In joining together with our Jewish community to light the menorah tonight, Illinoisans once again have reaffirmed that the light outshines darkness.

Happy Hanukkah.

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust.

He has proven these points virtually every day since.

Unfit for Office
Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

Mark Kelly should just announce his run for president. Everything gets dropped. That’s how it works now. Right?

what a colossal waste of time, Kelly's speech is clearly protected--and meritorious.

Meanwhile, what the JAGs should be investigating under UCMJ are the extra-judicial murders in the Caribbean Sea based on unlawful orders carried out by the chain of command

4. Then, over the weekend, just one day after McDonough was released on bail, his family home went up in flames. Charred human remains were found in the rubble, but the police have yet to conclusively identify the body or the cause of the fire. McDonough is still classified as “unaccounted for."
Remains found in burnt home of cardiologist charged with possession of child sex abuse materials, officials say

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.

A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.

The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.

Our latest wild story.

To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.

Not a soul would call that “winning.”

I’m not trying to be judgmental, but I feel that the people who now say they regret voting for Trump should have had a decent idea what he was all about before Nov 2024.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.

One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.

The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Exactly! The USA had a choice between a sane, intelligent, talented woman of colour who had spent her life in public service & a demented self-absorbed, narcissistic, cruel, greedy old white guy who had already proven his incompetence & despotic tendencies. It's mind blowing that they chose him. 🤯

Or that anyone has ever said or written.

With difference that this guy is Cdr-in-Chief of nuke-armed military, able to upset world econ at his whim or self-dealing, and literally demolish the White House

We'd think this would be the "have you no sense of shame" moment.

Isn't it pretty to think so

Here's Trump saying Rob Reiner is dead because he made people mad with his "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Absolutely insane.
It's a real post by the president of the United States, who has the nuclear codes.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

He's psychotic and dangerously unstable.

I have an ever-increasing sense of dread that not only won't democracy or the United States survive three more years of him, but the world may not.

That Republicans won't impeach and remove him is an unconscionable moral failure and may be fatal for us all.

They could also just say he’s lying.

Or point out that “following the news” is part of his job.

The entire press corps is complicit in this whole “I am not aware of that” cop-out.

The fact that not a single reporter tells Mike Johnson “let me read it for you” or “here it is” when he claims he hasn’t seen or doesn’t know a thing about the psychotic ramblings of the head of state is not only a dereliction of journalistic duty, but a display of pure cowardice.
