Together, we've made Illinois a beacon of hope for workers everywhere. We've made life more affordable for families, created good jobs with fair wages, and made it easier to get an education and find a career. When we stand up and stand together, we win.
The lifetime return to college remains enormous: four years of study adds more than a million dollars to expected earnings. And that yields a funny conclusion that I like to remind my students about: It may not feel like it, but these might be the highest earning years of your career.
@governor.ca.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @governorwalz.mn.gov @govmoore.maryland.gov @malcolmnance.bsky.social 2A guarantees every state a militia to fight against the federal gov in the event of tyranny. Trump is violating 2A by turning states' militias against their own citizens & residents.
The NRA and tea party selectively decided to ONLY fight tyranny if tyranny is perceived being committed by the left. Not one peep about this government’s repeated violations of the constitution.
Gordon delivered justice by holding those who violently attacked me on J6. This article illustrates the heavy price WE have paid since Trump took office. They made us to be the villains and the attackers seen as the good guys. They are morally bankrupt and compromised www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/n...
UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. This is a testament to our pressure. I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.
Nate is lucky--he was well on the way of being Twitter's #1 political dipshit until Elon decided he wanted that spot by a wide margin.
Another brilliant prediction, Nostradamus level.
“Blueskyism” Rent free lmao
Reminder that Nate Silver is just a boring white man statistician who loves being spineless — i mean nonpartisan — and resents that the youths are cooler than he ever was with his dumb politics blog.
Compromise suggestion: The President can redesign the Cracker Barrel logo, and the Fed can set interest rates.
If a president can fire a Fed governor on accusation, not cause, monetary policy shifts from the Fed to the White House. Goodbye independent Fed; hello maga Fed, and watch decades of hard-won credibility turns to dust. Posting the entire interview on youtube as an experiment. youtu.be/DpSqbqQde3Y
Turkey is the cautionary tale. Erdogan swapped economists for loyalists and forced low rates. Result: inflation peaked at 86%, still painfully high. That’s the movie you don’t want a sequel to. Posting the full interview over on my fledgling youtube channel: youtu.be/faKG7dtmxtU
“As well as sharing conspiracy theories, the account bearing [Trump nominee for BLS Commissioner, EJ] Antoni’s name repeatedly used violent rhetoric to declare how far it was willing to go to ensure Trump secured a second term in office.”
A friend (okay, the youtube algorithm) just reminded me of this lovely—and very personal—interview I did with Jack Stafford (@podsongs). It's a brilliant conceit: He interviews you about your life and work, then draws it all together into a song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJh3...
These are the people everyone should be citing, interviewing, & listening to. Stop platforming the charlatans and parroting their snake oil arguments about things that didn’t happen.
I'm sorry, no matter what personal or ideological gripe one has with universities or the academy, we didn't face the imminent destruction of entire parts of our institutions & the lives of dozens of students suddenly upended because of fascism before Trump. Just stop it with this unserious nonsense.
👇🎯 Attempts at being clever & contrarian are breaking folks' brains. A bigger problem that 15-25% of every R1 university's budget illegally being turned off almost immediately? A bigger problem than the abuse of state power to turn federal government-university relations into a protection racket?
Trump wants resegregation.
This is after it has just been reported that there are 1.2 mil fewer immigrants workers on U.S. Hold on to your wallets.
Didn’t Donald Trump say he was “the best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln”? (Narrator: Yes, he did.)
But they won’t be noticed until the stocks fall.
Oh warning sign. And it provides far too much pleasure to Trump’s white Christian nationists
Replaced DEI with DUI hires
That's not (just) a warning sign (about others). That's the thing itself. The canary in the coal mine was not a miner. If it died, that non-human death warned the humans. A miner dying before other miners died was not an alternative canary.
A very ominous sign..wall street isn’t paying attention to Main Street, because investors know when they are forced to, the bubble explodes.
Unemployment for Black Americans has surged to 7.2%, the highest level since October 2021, when the job market was still recovering from the pandemic. The drop in employment is a warning sign. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...
Miraculously, we are seeing that people care about unemployment again in the National Conversation™️ now that Joe Biden is no longer in the White House: bsky.app/profile/mcop...
🚨 A billion-dollar no-bid contract. A secretive desert detention camp. A contractor with no website and no experience. This isn’t a thriller—it’s Trump’s America. Take a look before this gets memory-holed:
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
What percent of Americans wants Trump to become a dictator for life? At this point that number is the same as Trump's approval rating. Trump is trying to end democracy in America.
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽
You dont seem to understand how the parties have changed over the years. You have to go back to 1812. Which party today wants slavery or more likely to join the kkk? Trump is a rapist and a felon. Lee
Who flies the fucking Confederate, Nazi and Gadsden Flags today princess?? It ain’t the democrats.
IKR! FOTUS ended the war in Ukraine in his first 24hours, 90 Deals in 90 Days, and groceries are basically FREE! Oh. Wait. BTW. It's photoshopped NOT photoshoped!😘
this MAGAts rage fuels my soul. i have broken this twat. It has FDS worse then any other MAGAt. i came here to do this to MAGAts, it will forever remember the name FiReWaTeR
Democracy.
How lame.
All debt is borrowed from the future.
Deal!
Perfect description of why Ashley Babbitt was shot by police as she tried to illegally enter the U.S. Capital chambers. Well done.
MTG - Deranged
When 9 people sit down with 1 Nazi, there are 10 Nazis! America has a Vatnik infestation
you could probably write a song using their words and then get hated on by the right wing for it.
And all pro Russian
It’s the money !!! They aren’t here to support this asshole. They are here to move their finances forward. It has never been about the country.
Is there a single republican who has a heart? Because they know they’re being viewed as heartless ghouls and they are OK with that.
trump is their puppet. of course no one liked him, he was just their way of getting what they wanted.
Why doesn’t ANY journalist call them out on this- to their faces- make them explain and accept no deflection? Serious question. Why?
#epstein
I guess that makes Gabbard Putin's bitch.
The republican party as we knew it is gone. It is now MAGA. They are all corrupt, cowardly, and treasonous.
This time, never forgive and never forget.
So are Republican voters.
Yes, a dead one
No.
EXPERTS WARNED SINCE 2015 that Trump's Wall is a Neanderthal fool's errand and massive waste of US dollars: 1) It's easy to climb over, even without a rope/ladder 2)Easily cut through with any reciprocating saw 3)Easily tunneled under/built on sand 4) Washes away in floods 5) End's animal migration.
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. We’re leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.
Great state to work in? ✔️ Oxfam America says Illinois is one of the best states to work in, and #5 for rights of workers to organize. See the stats www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/issu...
Illinois is now the number one state in the Midwest to work in. This ranking reflects our work in making Illinois the best state in the nation to do business, raise a family, and thrive.
Inspired people are best served by inspired leaders who can act on the shared values and sense of urgency. However, some voters need to blame Democratic leadership for their personal lack of "inspired" challenge to GOP voting family, friends, community and GOP local and state leadership.
Then contribute to Crockett, AOC, Warren,...
I have to disagree that they were unenthusiastic about Harris. Her fundraising and crowd sizes indicated wild enthusiasm. There is also reason to believe the election was stolen from her
The massive Dem wins at state, local should tell you the "great man" theory of leadership is old hat. Hundreds of town halls and local Dem work are creating change as never before. Wanting a star is missing the movement. Diverse nat'l, local efforts have forged the new reality. Catch up.
Musk responded to a user: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate." "Such ingratitude," Musk added. Musk spent more than $270 million to back Trump and other Republicans during the 2024 election cycle.
uninspired is a code word. save it for the racist misogynists that’s not our fault fix your racism. Maybe you guys should have reported on Kamala Harris more positively and favorably at all times instead of being attached to Donald Trump‘s asshole.
You've been doubling down all night. Sleep on it and reflect. Are you making the right choices, as a person, while our country slides into authoritarianism?
They're not "uninspired," that's a horse shit online narrative. They're getting smoked by propaganda across all platforms, and the GOP is throwing tons of money at local races with their made up culture war BS. The media has done a huge disservice not covering this.
Or is it the fact that I have to go looking for what the House and Senate Dems do? Is it the fact that our Media spends an inordinate amount of time normalizing Trump's bull@#$%? I'm sorry, I think the problem is TRUMP, not Congressional Democrats. I wish those in the media got that.
This is a stupid post from an otherwise smart man. Schumer and Jeffries are 2 leaders. Just 2. There are leading Dem voices speaking truth to power: Warren, Crockett, Sanders, AOC, Harris, both Clintons, both Obamas, W, Walz, Pritzker, Moore,...
If they're so unsinpired, why are the Democrats winning these small down the ballot races that are popping up? Why are Democrats showing up for Protests every chance they get? We are literally not starting the Midterms until next month.
Bullshit we know Elon fixed the election no one's ever won 7 swing states no one in American history
For me, this is a storyline I don't buy into. America put a fascist into the White House. They rejected a much better and much more joyful candidate in Kamala Harris. We gave Schumer and Jeffries a minority in both chambers. Yet, some of us want to blame only Schumer and Jeffries for that.
Define Dems in this case. I don't think you're getting any of calls about your segment from Schumer or Jeffries's offices. You're just getting pushback from mainline voters like me.
