Congratulations to the Georgia Women's Tennis Team!

Trump told you he’d run America like a business.

He is.

It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.

Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

I can't remember the last time I saw a youngster smoking, they're all vaping now- which in many cases could be considered even worse.

Meat and dairy are two of the easiest things to stop consuming, if only more people would try.

I think we’re at the stage where we need two separate governments. One will be there to deal exclusively with allegations relating to Peter Mandelson. This will be the main British government. And then there’s a secondary administration that does all those little things like running the country.

How many people would Reform UK deport? At least two million are at risk but the plans are ambiguous and their effect hinges on Labour’s own decisions

Connecticut Just Told Masked ICE Agents to Show Their Faces SB00397 bars masks on every officer in the state, forces feds to show badges, and opens state courts to sue them. A first in the country.

No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.

Nothing says respect for the Georgia Women's Tennis team than relegating them to the being the background of the picture.

They're not even trying to hide it anymore...

We have heard nothing from Pam Bondi or her legal team. She didn't show up for her scheduled deposition, and half of the Epstein files are still unreleased.

We are left with no choice. Contempt charges are coming.

I have to check every repost from Trump because they just seem so incredible, just can't be real- but they are! Utterly insane, but true.

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History.

An image containing a post from Isabel Oakeshott complaining that the press are reporting on her boyfriend’s tax dodging accompanied by various reports about his tax dodging.

'Richard Tice’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.'

You couldn’t make it up. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I WAS RAISED TO BELIEVE THAT WE DEFEATED FASCISM IN WORLD WAR II AND THAT WE WOULD NEVER ALLOW IT AGAIN IN THE WORLD. I DON'T ALWAYS STATE PUBLICLY MY POLITICAL OPINIONS, AND LIKE ANYONE I DON'T ALWAYS KNOW ALL OF THE FACTS, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS MAN AND THIS ADMINISTRATION I'M NOT GOING TO BE LIKE ONE OF THE SILENT MINORITY OF 1930'S GERMANY. THIS MAN IS A DANGER TO NOT JUST AMERICA BUT THE ENTIRE WORLD AND THAT'S NOT AN EXAGGERATION, HE'S DISMANTLING DEMOCRACY AND ENDANGERING THE PLANET ON A DAILY BASIS, AND WE. ALL. KNOW. IT.

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.
