Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

Trump keeps insisting his numbers "are the best I've ever had."

Maybe he thinks poll numbers are like golf scores: the lowest score wins!

I was and still am a huge fan of The Pretty Things, the UK R'n'B band that US record companies were afraid to import. Such bad boys!🤟

Heard this over & over. So I say to Gov Pritzger: If state laws call for arresting lawbreaking ICE agents, "Just DO it!"

ICE continues to make false reports to the CPD to harass people, including elected officials. This is a crime. Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker need to set up clear instructions to demand clear information by 911 dispatchers and cops, and then prosecute criminal acts by ICE.

Kat, I watch MSNBC via Sling. Thought you might like to know that the subtitles from Sling identified you as "Cat Gonzalez". LOL

Keep goin', Kat. You're doing good work and making good trouble!

Dr Oz: “I think we all agree that Covid has passed”.

No we do not agree!

Anyone who thinks Covid has passed has no business in charge of public health.

It’s still here. It’s still killing and disabling.

Get your booster if you can. Wear a mask (ideally an N95) and clean the air!

I’m sure congress is going to love the executive stealing money from appropriations that create jobs and economic activity in their district!

The White House says it’s going to use procurement dollars to illegally pay the troops for rather than do it the legal way of enacting a military pay bill.

You cannot w/ a straight face tell me using procurement dollars to pay the military adheres to the purpose statute and the Antideficiency Act.

Zoom in: Earlier in the week it was unclear whether the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) could find roughly $5.3 billion to make the military's payroll by Friday, but two White House officials tell Axios the money was found at the last minute. The OMB found:
$2.5 billion from a military housing fund specified in Trump's "big beautiful bill" to continue paying housing allowances for military personnel.
• $1.4 billion from the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation fund, which largely will cover U.S. Army and Air Force payroll. The account normally funds military research and was heavily relied upon two weeks ago to cover military paychecks.
• $1.4 billion from a Defense Department procurement account for building U.S. Navy ships, largely to fund the Navy and Marines.

Is this a real bus pass? I think it's counterfeit!

Are you legally entitled to buy a bus pass? I need to verify your reported income.

Geezus H. Christ!

Next they'll be arming IRS agents with M16s.

And lived to tell the tale? Ginger's cane should have been registered as a deadly weapon.

Disraeli Gears holds up pretty well. Wheels Of Fire is still better, I think.

Cream was the first band I truly loved. Saw them on their Goodbye tour. Two cops carried Ginger to the stage, he was so thin/weak.
