Constellation Energy which serves northern Illinois just mailed out their new electricity rate for next year. It is 16.38% higher.
I suppose we should consider this our first energy payment to the AI oligarchs and the trump-gop. 😡😡

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Hey Kegsbreath, "Department of War" is not a thing. You're a pampered Nazi Ken doll, an embarrassment, and a child. You're a wannabe tough guy mouth-piece for the most Constitutionally illiterate person to occupy the WH. You should be tried for war crimes, you blush-painted toy soldier.

The "Department of Government Efficiency" has disbanded eight months early.
DOGE sowed chaos throughout the government and disrupted services relied upon by millions, while finding hardly any savings.
Here's what you should know about damage that DOGE leaves behind.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

DOGE failed. And DOGE is dead. So I guess government can be responsive after all.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."
