The actions of this administration are not only a direct violation of the United States Constitution but also an egregious affront to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. By shutting down critical healthcare resources and restricting access to essential public health data,

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

This morning I responded to calls from our local rapid response network indicating that ICE was in our community attempting to kidnap our neighbors. When I found ICE on site, my Chief of Staff and I followed them, demanding that they provide us with proper identification.

I shake my head when people say, "He (they) can't do that!". As in, the Constitution or some rulebook for how the government works is ignored completely. OF COURSE HE CAN DO THAT. Over and over! The only way "he can't do that" is if someone is willing to stop him, which apparently no-one is.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

It wasn't enough to run our Constitution through a shredder & weaponize our military against citizens. Without approval, Trump is now tearing down the walls of the White House - the PEOPLE's House!

His hatred and lack of respect for this nation have no bounds.

The White House starts demolishing part of the East Wing to build Trump's ballroom

Dramatic photos show construction equipment tearing into the East Wing façade and windows, though the federal agency that oversees such projects has not approved President Trump's 90,000-square-foot, ...

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:

Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
• Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
• Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
• Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

@whitmouse911.bsky.social has you volunteered with CatsNotCops too? I think I’ve seen you downtown before aiding serving food and stuff to the Unhoused too when I was volunteering with them.

If you need a person to leave their post at work to make your place of business wheelchair accessible (guide to a locked side door, placing a portable ramp in an otherwise inaccessible entrance, etc), then your business is not wheelchair accessible.

Server infrastructure costing too much?
Need less capex spend?

Try centralising in giant monopoly datacentres

No backup, no failover

Just giant monopoly datacentres
Huge AWS bills too

You will certainly not regret giant monopoly datacentres

Happy Diwali, Illinois!

I hope that the Festival of Lights brings you peace during this time of celebration and reflection — that even in the darkest of days, the light of wisdom and unity will always triumph.

I think that when one encounters a person being a jerk, rather than engaging, we should all start saying, "I bet I know how you voted."

Trump let George Santos out of jail just to make it clear that if you're loyal to him, you can get away with anything. This isn't a democracy if one man decides what's a crime and what isn't.

Time for everyone to wake up. This moment is more serious than many want to believe.

Rebuild Illinois is one of the most comprehensive infrastructure programs in the nation — and we're making sure no community has been left out.

That includes River Drive in Moline, where we're breathing new life into the community and bringing more foot traffic to businesses.
