This is Jemma and Bean. Jemma likes to eat her cheese snacks. Bean prefers to eliminate hers. 13/10 for both (TT: bjkuhn)
Everything’s fine
Hey @espn.com the sound on Pens/Flyers would be better if I got the toddlers next door to fake it
Some timeline stuff:
— We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks.
— We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs.
— Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.
Today marks NINE YEARS since my opponent last held a Town Hall in our district.
In just the past few months, we’ve held a dozen Town Halls and similar events—open to anyone, no screened questions, no gatekeepers.
9 years of not showing up is enough. This November, you can choose someone who will.
Recent tornadoes and extreme weather hit communities across #IL16 hard, with Lena among the worst affected. Families are dealing with major damage and disruption. Relief efforts are underway—please consider donating to help this work on the ground: tinyurl.com/mpkjes4n
But let's pray. It's been effective so far.
8 kids and an adult are dead in Shreveport who shouldn't be. It could have been made more difficult, at the very least, if we actually had gun laws.
In Q1 '26 we raised over 400% more than our last quarter, but also 40% more than what LaHood's last two challengers raised in their entire campaigns COMBINED!
We outraised him by nearly 30% in total donations from individuals. Over 75% of LaHood's funding came from corporate PACs
And there's nary a mention of the fact that, even before gas prices went nuts due to an illegal war of choice by the Trump admin, energy (fuel) costs for gas cars were a few multiples of those for EVs. Like 3x for an F150.
The obstacles thrown up in the way of making EV life more accessible and affordable on the front end (GOP- and oil industry-led fearmongering and policies) take up 85%, while the tidbit about EVs being greener, needing less service, and fun to drive is left for the very end
This @theatlantic.com article, written by an #EV driver, does a great job of explaining what an #EREV is, and of presenting range anxiety in precisely the fearful way oil companies and service departments would love

The creepy Trump-as-Jesus picture Trump posted to Truth Social on 12 April 2026.
"Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous—whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light....Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way....And then I see the disinfectant...by injection inside or almost a cleaning."
Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus?
That was this week.
Imagine what a killing US automakers would be making right now if they had *really* embraced EVs (and yes, this partly due to Trump killing incentives, which is a typical double whammy from this regime).
We had a great morning yesterday in Mackinaw!
This is the moment where regular people like us need to get involved, stand up, and fight back against the chaos and division being pushed by the powerful forces in Washington, D.C.
Screenshot of Elmo next to his pet's fishbowl in Elmo's World. The subtitles say "We. Dorothy's been thinking abou and down to what’s her daughter."
four birds in a cartoon from Sesame Street, with the caption reading "Oh, shit"
Another Sesame Street cartoon saying "Oh shit"
Screenshot of Big Bird in Hooper’s Store with live human Alan and a flying red bird. The subtitles read: "Time for the birth of terror. Me"
Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad
A post from: amber.sultes 7h When small minded "pastors" talk about taking away the right for women to vote and you see a room full of smart, capable women overseeing Artemis's mission to orbit the moon, you realize how irrelevant these podcaster theobros are. There is a woman orbiting space right now without their permission, which no one needs to ask for. Keep on.

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god
Thank you to the people of Morton! We had another packed and energetic town hall last night with a room full of people of all backgrounds asking important questions about the future of our country
Big thanks to the Illinois Wesleyan College Democrats for having us out to talk about our campaign
Grift all the way down
Last night, folks from Geneseo packed our town hall! We welcomed Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to participate
We are meeting people where they are, to talk about our campaign, our values, and our ideas. The energy this campaign is building is ramping up across the district!
12 ships x $2 million per = $24 million dollars.
A day.
To Iran.
The Strait was open -- and free -- until Feb 28th
Looking, again, for a steelman view of this. Is there ANY plausible argument that we didn’t just kill a bunch of people to no purpose and hand a giant geopolitical victory to an extremist regime after making it more entrenched and more extreme?
One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire.
One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.
From BBC: Trump agrees to two-week ceasefire if Iran opens Strait of Hormuz The UN Secretary-General is also said to be "deeply troubled" by recent rhetoric
Didn't know Susan Collins was pulling double duty
Yes, yes, he will. Nothing but a rubber stamp. LaHood has blood on his hands already after supporting Trump's policies and aid cuts, and boot polish on his tongue
