Raja for Senate. JB for President. My take on the future
Oh please. It will be some kind of authoritarian crap that will fail
Hubs is in love with Australian rules football. All I can see is someone was on drugs that thought of this sport. It’s a combo of soccer, football, volleyball and rugby. Don’t get me started on floggers and the ref hand gestures
Just Dance Vance needs to stick to fiction books
Rhetorical
Good. We don’t want them in Chicago
At Jewel tonight: Empty except for me buying wine
Modern Nazis have no sense of purpose or self
It was a movie. Really? A sitcom? Stop ruining a good movie….
Is power so important to these MAGA nuts that they sell their soul for the here and now?
Watched a doc called ‘Monrovia, Indiana’. Typical tiny, middle of nowhere town and its daily life. What struck me as sad was a gentleman getting a freemasonry honor and it being the highlight of his life.
How is this any different than last time? His voters don’t seem to care
A cushy prison term sounds good about now. Better than being mocked, laughed at, despised and hated by all except his MAGA cult. Must weigh him down
As per The Daily Herald: Illinois Republicans want “fair districting maps”
#booksky 💙📚 Just finished “The Ministry of Time” by Kailene Bradley Fast paced, time travel and a reminder that hope and forgiveness can change the future, if we let them
Earlier this week, I had an opportunity to tour the future site for the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) on the South Side of Chicago. This innovative site will be the home of quantum technology research in Chicago and create jobs for our city⚛️💼
JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.
Hint: Dear Leader told me not to
Very Presidential
Xi to Trump: ‘I’m more powerful than you. These leaders are courting me’
Distraction alert 🔔
Just driving other countries to do business with China.
Rolling my eyes 👀 so hard
Science is all about the experts. I wouldn’t want a MAGA welfare queen to splice genes, amplify DNA or do credible research.
Opinion: Fear of Black crime is one of the oldest and most reliable political dog whistles. Now, Brown immigrants are being scapegoated, too, to justify Donald Trump’s militarization campaign, writes Suzanne Goodney Lea and Natalie Hopkinson. trib.al/rIOtGxq
As a nearby naval base is being considered as a staging ground for an immigration blitz by federal agents, Chicago Mayor Johnson's measure aims to hold federal law enforcement to city rules on policing while also keeping tabs on new deployments.
Where’s Jake Tapper? Where’s the MSM? I remember Ali Vitali talking nonstop about Biden’s health. Where is she now?
The Trump administration: Ukraine didn’t do what Russia wanted so we are washing our hands of the situation
Stop voting for her then
I hope his lawyers continue to push back, move that offense down the field
Oh please. Mitch McConnell has played this game for decades. Schumer is just taking a page out of his book. About time
Why does the US want to attack Venezuela? Did they look at Trump wrong?
Manner Polymers has been a powerhouse of manufacturing — today, we add to that legacy with a solar-powered advanced manufacturing facility. Their production capacity increases to 100M pounds to boost our supply chain, all while bringing $54M in investment to Southern Illinois.
MAGA cannot afford neither 10-carat garish nor Ralph Lauren
Wait…what? Why is the US attacking Venezuela?
The New Axis countries come together. I wonder what the nickname of their losing elementary soccer team was…
Who are we, the US, to tell another country who to do business with?
Or those of us inherited the bad X from our mothers.
Gov. JB Pritzker is doubling down to President Donald Trump that Chicago doesn’t need or want military intervention, showing off parts of the city where violent crime has decreased and saying sending in the National Guard could only escalate problems. https://to.wttw.com/45Si3z8
WTF? I don’t want to take antidepressants. I need to take antidepressants. They make my life so much more engaging and productive. If you don’t live it, you don’t know.
This is going to backfire on the administration spectacularly
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
From the Editorial Board: It is striking that in Chicago, we’ve been consumed by a vociferous back-and-forth over crime and President Donald Trump’s performative call for federal intervention. President Trump, how will you intervene to prevent future attacks against schoolchildren?
How about: you’re paying more and losing money
I stand corrected. A woman has no place as leader of the free world
I hope so
Yes, but did you vote for Kamala Harris? Or are you playing lip service to being a never Trumper? Put your money where your mouth is
I lived next to a church in Evanston, I’ll that had the services in French. It was beautiful and I listened to help me understand. It was beautiful
Very interesting. Very red portion of the state. Are my Iowa people finally waking up to the bullshit of the Republicans?
Oh yes, Jenna Ellis we believe anything she says. Was she crying and remorseful?
Be Best! (Whatever that means)
Because then Democracy would win
Capitalism capitulates to MAGA
What? My fellow Iowans are pushing back? Every push back I am happy
Did she push back? Or did she let it go?
FAFO Red states. You deserve everything you voted for
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
Well, then those states can withhold federal taxes
Send them to Indiana
Look! Zelenskyy outdid Trump’s Oval Office!
Anywhere in the South has been crossed off my list a long time ago
#booksky💙📚 Just finished ‘The Hounding’by Xenobe Purvis. Being different and confident was frowned upon in the past and reflects on the present. Especially girls. “…rather they were dogs than damaged girls.” Strikes a chord
MAGA going to be big mad
It was hard enough for me to get a REAL ID and I had all the correct documents. Many older women don’t have their marriage license, birth certificate, etc.
Love Newsom’s trolling but a real Presidential candidate is in this clip
I love Gavin Newsom’s trolling of Trump but I see a real Presidential candidate in this clip
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump's use of the National Guard to combat crime in American cities "is insulting to their integrity.” "I know Donald Trump doesn't care about the well-being of the members of our military, but I do," Pritzker said.
Trump is afraid. Chicago will push back and it won’t look good for his strongman persona
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Reminds me of when Darren Bailey ran for governor of Illinois. He stood in front of the Google building in Fulton Market and called Chicago a ‘hellhole’. Stupid and uninformed opinion.
Putin will not respond to Trump and his minions fawning sycophancy. Trump seems to think since it works on himself, everyone will respond the same.
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
"The state of Illinois is ready to stand against this military deployment with every peaceful tool we have. We will see the Trump administration in court." Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker speaks out on Trump’s threat to send members of the National Guard into Chicago.
They just can’t take the loss. This poor man’s status is the hill the Trump administration will die on
The nonprofit Arts of Life will project works of colorful and abstract images on the facade of Merchandise Mart every evening from Sept. 11 through Oct. 5 as part of its 25th anniversary.
When wants love and admiration. Let’s not give it to him
Welker
Did Walker push back?
Reminds me of 1940s Nazi Recruiting Propaganda
Very phallic
They’re called entitlements because we are entitled to them
IL can’t eke out more Democratic areas. Not that Pritzker won’t try, he will and has indicated he will call a special session
But we won’t feed hungry kids
Now we need to convince Wisconsin and Michigan
Unless you’re a cat owner and said cat loves being a toilet paper bandit
Another way of erasing LGBTQ people
Most American voices have been silenced by this administration. Only MAGA counts now.
When Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt was 20, she heard someone say that age 40 is when “you’re put on the shelf.” The nun passed that milestone 60 years ago. At 40, she was just getting started. At 98, she was living a dream life. Here’s a look back at her rise to fame.
At least Jacob Marley came back to warn Scrooge to change….
Bed, Bath and Beyond went out of business here many moons ago. Why would I go back when I can find better, cheaper products online
Over the past six years, Illinois has launched an unprecedented effort to build a quantum powerhouse in the Midwest. We're aiming to create tens of thousands of jobs, bring in billions in investments, and create opportunities for generations to come.
Monday Night Lightning Strikes in Chicago.
With tears in their eyes or is that only reserved for Trump?
Yes, they did vote for it. Can’t have a woman as President so Trump was the only choice. At their own detriment
I found out a homeless man who visited the library every day died when hit by a car. I am sad. He was a nice man who blessed me every day I saw him. Peace be with you, Zishan Ladha.
I feel like I have failed my son. He failed many of his college classes. It’s like he doesn’t care. I feel I forced him to go to DePaul and major in cyber security. I just want to curl up and cry.
Oh look. No concentration camps in Illinois. I’m proud
We are going to be kicked out of NATO.
Jerome Powell has become a sycophant.
