@rachellerman.bsky.social this may become a major sticking point in the next Presidential campaign. Americans understand credit scores as “financial responsibility.” Pritzker has raised Illinois’ credit rating a whopping 9x so far, and he will surely bring it up often.

Juggling 3 bags & a kid at the @AldiUSA #cart return, it hit me: whoever decided to ban cart returns in the lot was definitely NOT a #mother. #Aldi, this #MothersDay, show you care—add #AldiCart storage to parking lots. Moms do the shopping; make it easier for us!

Let me get this straight- Republicans bussed tens of thousands of migrants to Chicago- and now they are suing Chicago & Illinois for allowing those migrants who arrived on their doorstep to exist. What did they want Illinoisans to do- leave them for dead?

sooo. this means they are cool with doxxing and otherwise using the internet to ruin peoples lives?

bet.

The ironic part is USAID is basically like the “Christian mission trips” arm of the US govt

One of Musk’s DOGE employees was apparently a user on KiwiFarms, a hate website that existed almost solely to bully/harass minorities into suicide. Think of the worst person on 4Chan, working with 16K other equally awful people to ruin lives. That’s who’s in charge.

A 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s DOGE was fired from an internship after he was accused of sharing information with a competitor

Dems can learn a LOT from Trump/ DOGE effectiveness here. When Trump/ DOGE/ Muskers are slowed in any way on any front, Dems are quick to declare it a win. But Trump & team expect incompetence in some areas & account for it by planning to attack an issue on 20-100+ issues at once. 1/

Watch out for what the DOGE & new POTUS appointees are up to today. They tend to save up their worst acts for late Fridays, in hopes people will forget or not pay attention by Monday. And today they know Super Bowl will dominate Sunday news- so they are especially likely to go for unpopular moves.

How can DOGE employees uncover rampant fraud when they don’t even know how to read budgets- especially federal budgets?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Your answer to someone on Facebook asking how this time compares in history was a gut punch “This is the most dangerous threat the U.S. has ever faced.”

I didn’t want to hear that, but needed to.

So many terrifying parallels to what is happening right now- especially with the inaction from Congress, and attempts to shift power from congressional and judicial branches and instead concentrate it in the executive branch.
