So well deserved. Glyn is a great man, leader, and fighter for working men and women. Congratulations, Glyn!!!
Today, I'm honored to be here in Collinsville with the great Glyn Ramage — a champion of the working people.
His legacy will forever be enshrined here at the new Downstate Laborers' District Council Building.
And I’m proud to recognize October 20, 2025, as Glyn Ramage Day.

Astoundingly stupid move--again--by this administration.
Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet.

Fascism pure and simple. He, his presidency and Americans who are okay with this kind of thing are an utter disgrace.
This is abhorrent.
America should not tolerate a president relishing in Pinochet-style rule over our own citizens.

Trump said you can measure a presidency by the wars you avoid, and for once he was right. Saturday's Iran bombing was the exclamation point on his abject failure

A mad king’s pointless war is where Donald Trump was always heading
There is no legal or moral justification for Donald Trump's bomb strike on Iran, just the ego of an increasingly delusional president.

Over on X, a tale of the madness currently playing out with student visas is currently going viral on the basis of an astonishing quote from a judge calling what the Trump administration is doing “Kafkaesque.”
The lawsuit is one of Banias. law’s emergency TRO cases and the quote is from 5 days ago.

This has to be one of the craziest admissions from A JUDGE that l've ever seen in a court transcript. What the hell are we doing here?!
[Start screenshot]
THE COURT: Do you realize that this is Kafkaesque?
I've got two experienced immigration lawyers on behalf of a client who is months away from graduation, who has done nothing wrong, who has been terminated from a system that you all keep telling me has no effect on his immigration status, although that clearly is BS. And now, his two very experienced lawyers can't even tell him whether or not he's here legally, because the Court can't tell him whether or not he's here legally, because the government's counsel can't tell him if he's here legally.
