This makes me really question these lost jets now...

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

We Are Still Recovering From Helene. The current president and his cronies Believe The Average American Has Too Much!

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

Florida Congressman Greg Steube refuses to explain to his constituents why he supports throwing millions off their health care to pay for a giant tax cut for the wealthy. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I will do his job for him. Holding a town hall there tomorrow. floridaphoenix.com/briefs/sen-c...

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

During National Travel and Tourism Week, I'm proud to announce that Illinois' state parks and historic sites attracted the highest number of visitors in over a decade, at over 41M. It’s no surprise folks have come to the Middle of Everything to experience all we have to offer.

If deporting US citizen children with cancer isn’t your redline, it’s time to reassess your priorities.

Today, we know exactly what needs to be done to recover the climate ecosystem and protect the last remaining pristine landscapes. It's not a matter of science It's a matter of political action. To be an environmentalist today, means getting political. Because it's worth fighting for

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

This Is Discouraging And Totally Preventable!!!

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

We've delivered the boldest climate action in Illinois' history — reducing carbon emissions, removing air pollutants, all while making smart investments in sustainability and renewable energy. We won't wait around for this White House when it comes to real climate leadership.

I read this in Kimberly Guilfoyle's shout - His Worst is Yet To Come

I don’t want this iteration of the United States. I want what we still can be… if we value the freedom of all and fight against the lies of fantasy and hate.

I was skeptical. But this really works.

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

I love Tim Walz. What could have been . . . .

🤔😱😓

Happy 92nd birthday to the one and only Carol Burnett!

This is what we’re working towards, but we gotta make it happen!

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

I’m forcing a vote to end Trump’s chaotic trade war. It’s time for Republicans in Congress to decide if they’ll do their jobs and stand up for the American people alongside Democrats, or if they’ll fall on the ground and kiss the hem of Trump's britches.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

How did I know they would completely defund Headstart? They wrote it down in Project 2025 .

The convicted felon who has benefitted from due process his whole life wants to remove due process for everyone else.

Evergreen meme. Yet another basic income pilot has shown increased full-time employment. It takes money to make money. It is particularly true for those with the lowest incomes that their income is so low that it's difficult to earn more. It's not like SNAP can buy a car to get/hold a job. UBI can.

Didn't realize it's Earth Day! 🌎🌿 I recall pulling old tires (and worse) out of a creek bed on the very first Earth Day. Yes, old if you wish... Alot of progress was made since, but if we ever needed to observe the practices it's now. Again... 🌎🌱🌿🌲🌲🪻🌲🌲🌿🌱🌊 #Nature #Conservation

this is basically just a big plan to impoverish the united states

In Illinois, we're proud to have sparked a new industry when we legalized adult-use cannabis. The State surpassed $2B in record-setting sales in 2024, generating more than $490M in tax revenue. And this 4/20, we saw a 9% increase over last year in products sold at over $15M.

This is extremely heartless and cruel.

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Percentage Wise We All Pay More Than The Wealthy…

If there aren’t enough Supreme Court Justices that will stand and do the right thing, they will render themselves irrelevant & useless…

Pope Francis showed the world how to lead with empathy and humility. Extending a hand to help anyone in need, "the People's Pope" inspired millions who drew strength and compassion from him to embrace peace. May his memory be a blessing.
