Long story short, today Virginia voted to fire four Republicans:
1 - Rep. Bob Wittman
2 - Rep. Jennifer Kiggans
5 - Rep. John McGuire
6 - Rep. Ben Cline
I am betting 90% of Virginia can’t name a single thing any of them has done.
That’s how you get fired, folks.
To do that at the same
time we’re blocking an income tax increase on millionaires to provide property tax relief to working families seems
insane.

Maybe I am out of touch, but I think if Illinois Democrats vote for a $2 billion tax giveaway to the Chicago Bears then we’ve basically given up the fight against Trumpism.
We’ll be raising property taxes on working families to give a tax break to billionaires.

I've watched this a hundred times. It's the bongo drums that do it. Imagine it without bongos. You can't. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e3E...
Pro-tip: Chevron wrote Trump a $1 million check to get you into this mess @americanair.bsky.social .
I am sure if you give Trump $2 million you can go back to cheap gas.
Was it my map?
As they say in Wisconsin:

I bought a lifetime supply of Forever Stamps when they were 47 cents.
That was a decade ago.

The problem is its going to be the JCPOA plus $20 billion to repair the infrastructure.
It's official: The House has sworn in Democratic Rep. Analilia Mejia.
Bring back the Colbert Report.
She resigned when it turned out her husband and her dad were hitting on the same interns.
Bruh, I knew Reverend Jackson, he played college football and was 6’3”, how the hell is Marvin Gaye listed at 6’1”?
This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.

Patel says he will sue @theatlantic.com for defamation.
Spoiler Alert: there will be no lawsuit.
67% of Americans say this country is on the wrong track.
good to see your byline on an Illinois masthead!
Gov. JB Pritzker and other Illinois Democrats are calling for President Trump to be removed with the 25th Amendment, calling him “unable” to do the job. There’s almost no chance of it happening.
Here’s why they’re trying anyway. (My story, gift link)

After shooting his partner and ex-girlfriend in the back, Carlos Baker told investigators that he didn’t realize he had shot his gun.
How is that possible?
Why isn’t the State’s Attorney investigating?
Police memorial ceremony this week. Maybe we will get answers, TY @illinoisanswers.bsky.social
Shit it could have been Eleanor.
FDR agreed with Stoudt, and ordered the paper tape on munitions boxes replaced with a cloth backed tape which was produced by Johnson & Johnson.
Stoudt recieved the War Worker Award from @chicagotribune.com for not just her idea but her persistance.

Today I learned duct tape was invented in Amboy, IL
by Vesta Stoudt during World War II.
Vesta, mother of 8, went to work in a munitions factory while two sons served in the Navy.
She noticed a flaw in the packaging of ammunition.
When management ignored her advice, she wrote a letter to FDR.
Oh yeah.
The Epstein Files. Release them.
Sorry, who was “Dock?” that was Middle Ages for me.
