Beyer: I don’t like to do ad hominem attacks, but I’ve served with four different speakers. This is the fifth one—by far the weakest speaker, I think, in American history.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to arrest someone who you can't identify because they have no identification and wear masks to conceal their identity. #FuckICE #TheResistance

“This is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.”

Very true and very scary comment by Tom Nichols.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Proud to be in Fairmont City to celebrate the progress we've made rebuilding our infrastructure.

Our capital plan is truly statewide, reaching every county in Illinois.

And our work continues — more projects to undertake, communities to revitalize, and opportunities to create.

Governor Pritzker stands behind the podium.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

If a president came to me and said, “I hear you have an Econ degree. I want you to be my Secretary of Commerce.”
I would say “I’m flattered but I’m not qualified for the job. The American people deserve the best and I’m not it.”

Why would these people takes jobs knowing they’re anti-qualified?

If one truly wants to see how far down the road of totalitarianism we have already gone, just scroll the Dep't of Homeland Security's Facebook page. It is the most Orwellian stuff I have ever seen, never thought I would see in America.

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.
