I really hope @rbreich.bsky.social is right and that the US will finally take a long, hard, look in the mirror.

Illinois has accomplished big things for its people.

We’ve lowered prescription drug costs, achieved the highest recorded high school graduation rate in years, signed landmark transit reform, and balanced budgets.

I look forward to getting even more done in the new year.

Hey question:

Have any of the police leadership that sat outside of Uvalde during the shooting been held to account?

NEW: DOJ has been to multiple venues trying to shop their criminal case against the people who investigated Russian election interference. And they keep failing. So they're trying to add a grand jury in Judge Aileen Cannon's jurisdiction. youtu.be/W4pImd81anA?...

When one makes up that many lies it's inevitable the lies will conflict with each other. It's more proof that it's all been lies.

As bad as this year has been for Americans, and innocent people elsewhere in the world, it’s going to be worse for Chump in the last days of 2025. Indie journalists will spend these last few days pointing out EVERY criminal act Chump and his regime have committed. Just in time for 2026 to start.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

Newly released documents from the 1992 "X case" show that Irish government officials were concerned that women who left Ireland to access abortion services overseas could face penalties when they returned.
Officials feared Irish women travelling for abortion could be prosecuted on return

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?

This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.
