Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.

I have done much better here in Illinois than my poor brother and sister in Oklahoma. We’re all educators and they’re thinking about leaving that shithole state for Illinois.
A simple explanation as to why Public Education is under attack:
I’ll personally tell each and every one to go fuck themselves while I go to vote.
Another record-breaking year for tourism, but these numbers represent more than just statistics: they signify jobs, local economic growth, and lifelong memories created in the Middle of Everything. Illinois is proud to welcome visitors from across the globe.
The presidential candidate who runs on the slogan "THERE WILL BE TRIALS!" has my vote.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
On Women's Equality Day, we recognize the progress we've made and the work that remains to be done in the pursuit of genuine equality. Know that you'll always have a champion in me as your governor, even as forces in DC work to undo that hard-earned progress.
Or his gum line.
Bring it motherfucker. This ice will get melted in Chicago. It will become the melting pot for real. We’re waiting.

I don’t see law enforcement at all. I see possible rapists abducting a woman.
Stand with Governor Pritzker.
Burnt a flag. There is no law against it. EO’s only work when tied to a law. Trump can fuck himself. I have 100 more and I will burn them daily. Fuck him.
Went out and burned a flag. Come and get me bitches.
Paint guns. From a distance. Each time DeSatan whites it out. Blam. Paint that rainbow back.
The protest outside the White House is swelling by the minute. Trump’s talk of “marauding gangs” is racist code for Black lives. This is about white power in uniform. We must fight back against racism & authoritarian rule. Our democracy isn’t his to seize—it’s OURS.
We're in court today challenging a Texas law that requires all public K-12 schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Public school is for learning, not evangelizing.
Trump looked and sounded worse than Biden did during the debate.
And look at that. Democrats have allowed Epstein files to fall out of importance. Useless cunts.
Love my state and my gov.
this guy is what people pretend Gavin Newsom is
Same. Kind of seems like maybe he is not acting in the best interest of his loyal long term customers.

Illinois is now the first state in the nation to require mental health screenings in its public schools. Our schools should be inclusive places where students are not just comfortable asking for help — they’re empowered to do it.
People are already calling it the “Epstein Wing.” Sounds appropriate enough.
At least for me, any candidate in the Dem primary who doesn’t pledge to immediately return the WH and the grounds to the way it was before Trump turned it into Mar-a-Lago on the Potomac is automatically disqualified. The massive ballroom, garish gold plated foil, all of it gone.
100 hundred Russian websites hacked and defaced by Anonymous. Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace? join #OpRussia, all you need to do is drop your wins along with the hashtag.
Las Vegas reporting an 11% decrease in tourism revenue is only the beginning for the United States, Trump did this and more places across the US will degrade at an alarming phase the longer the regime is in power. #3E
Looking for the article about how young women face most of the same problems young men face while also navigating a government that openly hates them and they do it without turning into incels that write "why don't men fuck anymore" articles or murdering their significant others.
Found on my morning walk. Red town.
Thankful to live in Illinois. Not exactly inexpensive in its own right but I can see the value for my dollar here.
The family of Virginia Giuffre responds to the Maxwell prison move: "President Trump has sent a clear message today: Pedophiles deserve preferential treatment and their victims do not matter."
@smithsonianmag.bsky.social tell the museum to get off its knees.
The Smithsonian Institute is no longer a place to learn authentic history.

BREAKING: FBI Blacked Out Trump’s Name in Epstein Files https://twp.ai/4ip1zm
And that’s the cooked number. It must be getting really bad.
Jessica: A few of the things people are paying attention to, consumer spending only at 1.4% and it was 2.8% in 2024. Business spending is down to 1.2% from 1.9%, and home building is really suffering in this.
George Nader is a man that has child abuse, child pornography charges dating back to 1985. He was convicted in the 1990’s for transporting child pornography. He was sentenced in 2003 for sexually abusing 10 boys. He pleaded guilty in early 2020 to flying a 14-year-old boy from Europe to the US
Someone hit my car in a parking lot and actually left an apology, his contact info and insurance details in a note on my windshield. And, the info is all accurate. Way to go, honest person. 👏
BREAKING: An Illinois county removed a massive Ten Commandments monument from government property after we sued. This is a victory for religious freedom.
Olympic level cognitive dissonance.
Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.
Motherfucking wind farms…
What’s up with his weird shaped tits.
BREAKING: A Senate committee has just approved a bill to ban stock trading for members of Congress, the VP, and the President. The bill can now go before the Senate.
Love a good cribbage game. I teach it to all my students as a “counting on” and “skip counting” exercise. Plus, I have students that return later in life and want to play.
“The files remain a silent but looming presence. They are the ghost who might tell the truth at Trump’s banquet. Trump fears those files. But he has confidence in his ability to talk. His fear and confidence lead him to keep on talking. POTUS: Keep on talking!” www.thebulwark.com/p/please-mr-...
Bullshit. Shutting it down was only about you looking stupid.
If the United States saw what the United States was doing to its people, like it always has with other countries, it would invade itself in the name of freedom, claiming to liberate Americans from the tyranny of the United States.
Are we still talking about the Epstein Files? We are? Cool! Don’t stop.
You can already feel the inevitable “moving on” from the Epstein files.
He should try blue collar work and then pat himself on the back for not missing work. Guys in the crew have worked with broken limbs, torn tendons, fucking pneumonia. It’s not a flex, just a reminder that our work and health policies suck in this country.
a RESOUNDING yes for good reason

But enough—I will establish this with my research, not stupid threats. I promise to work tirelessly until this professional work-product is out. No neutral person in America will fail to be convinced by it.
The very man the QAnonists elected is *exactly* the man they said they were saving the world from. JFC, this is the most amazing story I’ve ever encountered, fiction included. They won’t even be able to make a movie out of this, because the dramatic irony is so f*cking perfect it’s actually silly.
I knew that A+ in Criminal Law at HLS had to mean something. All the evidence points to Trump being a co-conspirator in Epstein’s Child Sex Trafficking ring. Central to it, not tangential.
I am not actually paranoid in this way, but I will just say that what I have written is going to get out one way or another, no matter what.
I’m hoping I can get this out this week. But I’m now sure about this case, having spent much of my life analyzing criminal fact-patterns as an investigator and criminal lawyer. I know what Trump did, I know what he’s hiding, I can no longer find any pieces that don’t fit the theory of the case.
I’m not trying to be a squirrely piece of sh*t, I swear. I’m working as hard on getting this report out as I can, it’s just difficult because the proof has to be exactly right and this is going to be book-length. But I’m writing this in the event... I don’t know, it’s silly but... something happens.
I got it. Fuck...I got it. I was trained as a criminal investigator at Georgetown and Harvard, worked as a federal criminal investigator in DC, practiced Criminal Law—including sex crimes and homicides—for years, and was sure if I dedicated myself I’d figure out what Trump is hiding. And now I have.
I deal with this same thing when I talk to Christians. Good luck.
Take these fuck-wad ice goons and leave me the immigrants.
The DOJ released an edited Epstein surveillance video missing a key minute, but the FBI holds the full version, raising doubts on official transparency that limits public access to truth. #EpsteinCoverup
Trump is absolutely disgusting.
Trump has never previously acknowledged any personal connection between himself, his properties, and Virginia Giuffre. Now he says Giuffre was working at his spa and was recruited from his property, which aligns with Giuffre’s claims, but contradicts Trump’s earlier denials of involvement.
Virginia Giuffre was first trafficked by Epstein in 2001. Within one year, Trump would tell NY Magazine of Epstein, "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." Meaning he clearly knew who Epstein was and STILL exposed these girls to him.
Stop coming to me with false comparisons. James Tallarico is a Christian who has expressed in no uncertain terms that his faith is important to his PERSONAL life and that has no place in government. Anyone who tells me they have to pray before they decide to run is not fit for office.
lol
Love ya, and the great work you do here but if you don’t reduce state property taxes some you will have a harder time with your next election.
Again. Whew have republicans been other than protecting this guy. He has been a known criminal for years. Total piece of shit.
Never in US history has the DOJ been 'led' by two lawyers who were also criminal defense lawyers for the President.
Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer Todd Blanche will now determine whether he thinks evidence against certain individuals is “credible” or not, and DOJ will not release those parts of the Epstein files. What’s released is whatever Trump’s criminal lawyer decides is credible.
Fuck APAIC, and fuck you @johnfetterman.com
@aipac1.bsky.social bullshit
REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.
Imagine being gullible enough to believe Trump when he claims that Japan will hand over 14% of their GDP to the US as part of a “trade deal.”
📌So Merrick Garland undoubtedly saw the Epstein file and knows where the bodies are buried -- some literally. 📌Can't this damn guy do just ONE thing right, and ensure everybody else is enlightened, too????
George Conway: The notion that they would give Ghislaine Maxwell clemency is just insane. What could she possibly say that would be believable? @gtconway.bsky.social
😳
To any (D) in leadership who might see this... The moment you announce, make a statement, issue a press release...or otherwise suggest that "it's time to move on from the Epstein case," I will: Spend part of each day working to ensure you get voted out of office. Going soft will not be tolerated.
There MAGA influencers are turning themselves into pretzels over Trump’s Epstein cover-up
🚨 NEW: President JoeBiden has reportedly sold his presidential memoir to Hachette for a $10 million advance, per Wall Street Journal. Not bad for a guy they said was “finished.” Congrats, 46.

Max Blumenthal Massive disruption just now in the US Senate cafeteria to protest bipartisan support for Israel’s genocidal policy of starving and slaughtering the people of Gaza No free lunch for Gaza Holocaust enablers
NEW: There were letters to Epstein in the birthday book from Trump, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, Leon Black, Wexner, Brunel, and more. There are several digital copies. www.wsj.com/us-news/jeff...
For those rightwing mouthpieces desperately trying to claim that a DeMoCrAt JuDgE blocked the release of Maxwell's grand jury testimony, the reason that Trump & Bondi sought the release of the grand jury testimony is expressly because they KNEW that the judge DOESN'T have the authority to unseal it.
