Proud Chicago native. Recovering lawyer, sports fan (often of hopeless teams). It's the democracy, stupid.

Bots get blocks.
How curious

Not sure where to vote? Issues keeping you from casting your vote? Intimidation or harassment at the polls?

I put on the PU-Ala MBB game for about 2 minutes, just in time to hear the announcer say it looks like #iubb [finally] has a team worthy of wearing the candy stripes.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

As polls begin to close, remember: If you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE.

If you are in line at closing time, you have the right to vote.

@judgeluttig.bsky.social could states refuse to put DJT on the ballot on the basis of ineligibility? Could states/ citizens/DNC get a declaratory judgment to that effect? Would this Supreme Court allow him on ballots - this seems more straightforward than Colo case was. @marcelias.bsky.social

Nothing to see here, just the guy in charge of ICE operations in Chicago leaving federal court, having been ordered to report in person to the (immigrant female) judge every day.

Who among us wouldn't respond to such an outrage with a Nazi salute?

"DON'T LOSE THE PLOT!"

Everything they do goes further down the road to authoritarianism. They're unbounded by law, rules, courts, a co-equal legislature, public disapproval, ethics, the Constitution, custom, treaties, human decency, you name it.

Are you paying attention to the big picture?
GOV. WALZ: “This is not both sides. This is owned by Republicans. Dems are willing to come back and protect what passed, not let an authoritarian president do whatever he wants… people will be lined up to get food and we’re talking about a damn ballroom? DON’T LOSE THE PLOT.”

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

This needs to be in an ad that runs every hour on every media in every city & state - esp. those most impacted by SNAP & Medicaid/healthcare subsidy cuts.

The WH press secretary saying the ballroom is POTUS' "top priority" right now needs to be an ad running every hour on every TV and radio station across the country. Hello, @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov ??
Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Where's the #EastWing art & other treasures? Where are blueprints? Who are the architects/engineers/builders? Who & why is military involved? What's the construction schedule?

Is anyone from the media asking questions? Is Congress? FOIA? Lawsuits? @normeisen.bsky.social @markjacob.bsky.social

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

Trump’s “message”: I am a king and I douse you all in shit.

I say go ahead and amplify it.

They're CELEBRATING a military-style assault on a Chicago apartment building - doors broken down, naked children taken outside, ziptied & taken from their parents, US citizens held for hours, non-citizens disappeared.

Sicko co-POTUS Trump & Miller want this in YOUR community too.

Weird how that didn’t make the cut.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.
