Uhhhh, given that the government is shut down and the yearly appropriations have expired, does anyone know where the funds for the Argentina bailout are coming from?

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

Was it America First or Argentina First? Somehow there’s $40 billion for Argentina.

If you’re tired of seeing your tax dollars go to Argentina while Trump tariffs kill your local businesses and make everything more expensive

…or worried you’ll get snatched off the streets by ICE because you’re not the “right” skin color, despite being here legally

ANNOUNCEMENT
There is a push to boycott ALL businesses on No Kings Day 2.

I strongly suggest that businesses that support No Kings put No Kings signs on their businesses and that everyone support those businesses instead.

We do not want to punish people who support the cause.
Buy from them.
Party.

Another leap forward for electrification in Illinois.

This is an important part of the future of rail — that future is being built right here.

Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) joined Innovative Rail Technologies (IRT) and Motive Power Resources, Inc. (MPR) to celebrate the commissioning of their latest zero-emission, battery electric locomotive.

🔥 ZOHRAN ON FOX: "I want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Adams who will call you to stay out of jail… a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election… I’ll be a mayor ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living.“

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.

Markey at 79 is in good health, mentally sharp, and one of the most reliably progressive members of the Senate, so unless a progressive challenger takes him on I will unreservedly vote for him again in the primary.
