You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

Get better, Mike.

If Trump isn’t an autocrat by then.

Elon’s money may not be behind it.

Like the meme-coin of the same name, DOGE isn’t real. It’s an Avatar not an Agency. Blurred and opaque; accountable to nobody & fueled by politics, DOGE gives one man, an unelected, extremely conflicted, unqualified & unstable foreign billionaire unilateral unfettered access to the US government.

No other state in the nation imports more goods to Canada than the Land of Lincoln, and Illinois is one of the Top 5 states in exports to both Canada and Mexico.

All together, Illinois exports support 800,000 jobs – jobs now at risk thanks to Trump’s Tax on Working Families.

If there is any doubt that tariffs are passed through to consumers, the cost of propane to heat my house just went up by the amount of the tariff

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

Arguably the biggest national security breach in U.S. history. Private employees downloading personnel data on every federal employee and tax and social security data on every American onto private unsecured servers. Needless to say, completely illegal and subject to major prison sentences.

Tennessee exports over $900 million per year

I’d expect them to break rank next

Oh? 👀
