Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”

When the Oval Office becomes a stock tip line, it’s corruption in plain sight. We must continue to sound the alarm. Head to the Substack page for everything you need to know: www.adamkinzinger.com/p/this-isnt-...
We have to stay focused on what is in front of us.
We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

We have a narcissistic, needy toddler in the White House. And everyone in the world knows he responds best to shameless flattery. How embarrassing.

Some loneliness is not about being alone.
It is about being surrounded by people who cannot see your heart.
Kafka understood the distance.
Dostoevsky understood the longing.
And sometimes, we understand both.

On January 6th, 2021, when Trump incited an insurrection, America's corporate leaders rushed to distance themselves from him.
Today, as Trump destroys our democracy at home and stages more coups abroad, they're sucking up to him to pad their own bottom lines.
Excited to share some good news for Illinois families — we’ve reached over 100,000 children in our state receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
Let’s keep reading.
🚨 ICE Glasses are coming - specialized smart glasses designed by and for the Department of Homeland Security, documents reveal:

Do not stop talking about the Epstein files!
For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.
Tell Turnip the term is "Democratic seats!"
(Watch this; it's great!)
They are physically grabbing citizens and illegally detaining them in those privately run “immigration prisons”
CITIZENS !!!!!
ICE has to be dismantled
And guilty ICE personnel should be prosecuted.
Trump's Never-ending War and Trump's Never-ending Tariffs are pushing up Never-ending price increases. All of this is happening because of the unilateral decision making of one man. The question is, will he pay the price for it during the midterms?
it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
10+ survivors. 20+ years. Zero accountability.
Authorities never fully investigated Epstein’s Zorro Ranch.
Rachel Benavidez is still waiting and still speaking out for justice for survivors!
It’s not too late.!

Aliya Rahman was violently arrested by ICE in Minneapolis. She recently filed a federal tort claim against DHS, claiming the agency used excessive force and violated her rights. She was never charged with a crime.
BREAKING: Donald Trump just boosted Democrats’ chances of taking the House.
He said the quiet part out loud, “fair elections” means he loses power.
That’s not a warning, that’s a confession.

The Department of Labor has improved the lives of millions of people. I worked like hell as secretary of labor because I believed in what we were doing.
What's happened at the department under this latest Trump regime is an insult to generations of DOL employees, to American workers, to America.
As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.
And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.
I’ll call that progress.
I've always admired Governor Moore's dedication to service and his willingness to stand up resolutely especially in the face of adversity (this administration thinking that they call bully Maryland into submission.) Great to be in St Mary's County. Im running be your next fighter in Congress!

In California, we’ll continue to provide health care for our people.
We’re not backing down in the face of Donald Trump’s massive cuts to Medi-Cal.
Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.
