I'd vote for Blagojevich over @durbin.senate.gov at this point. I'd vote for Lightfoot. I'd vote for Rahm fucking Emmanuel. The sooner this Bernie Epton ass motherfucker get out of office the better.
Although I guess its on me for expecting better from a guy who made his bones swallowing Daley's.

This past weekend featured a milestone anniversary: It was the 17th anniversary of Illinois lawmakers booting then-Gov. Blagojevich from office. Less than two months earlier, the FBI revealed what was already known: The Governor was a shakedown artist openly abusing his office.
Where is he now? 🤔

It is instructive that Flynn, who like Blagojevich is a registered lobbyist of the Russian-backed secessionist regime in Banja Luka, is linking tearing up the Dayton Agreement w/ the dismantling of NATO. Because Moscow sees breaking up Bosnia & NATO as part of the same project.

For a number of years I lived in Ravenswood Manor in the Blagojevich era (about 2 blocks from him). The Daily The Second admin hated him so much that they wouldn’t plow our streets. Ever. It just had to melt. Luckily, I didn’t have to rely on a car at the time.

Background: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2025/0...
![On November 30, 2025, the United States received notice that Ahmed was arrested in Serbia pursuant to a Red Notice, i.e., a global alert seeking the provisional arrest of Ahmed, with a view to extradition, based on a national arrest warrant. Within days, the United States government confirmed to Serbia that it intended to seek extradition. The government’s extradition package was submitted to Serbia on January 23, 2026, prior to its due date. As of now, the United States understands that Ahmed remains in custody in Serbia, pending extradition.3 It is unknown if Ahmed will be extradited, and if he is, it is unknown when. The United States will advise the Court of any updates and may ask for a continuance of the trial date to serve the interests of trying all defendants together and preserving resources to avoid having to try the case twice.4
