A decade ago, Illinois was plunged into a budget impasse that disrupted the lives of working families. The times have changed — nine credit upgrades, seven balanced budgets, a $2.5 billion Rainy Day Fund, jobs at an all-time high, and a growing economy.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Awkward way for Joni Ernst to find out she isn’t funny. Let’s stop sending people like Joni Ernst and Lindsey Graham to the Senate.

The broligarchy strikes again. South African billionaire Peter Thiel's Palantir. This is the dude who groomed and hand delivered JD Vance to the white house. It's all a big grift at our expense.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

We were sent this video from the cauliflower harvest in Santa Maria CA. Workers tell us: It's very hard, backbreaking work. We're constantly bending down cutting the vegetable w/a knife and standing up and putting it on a conveyor belt. #WeFeedYou

WATCH - @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “If that was a Democratic dogemaster who showed up with a shiner and there was a report he did so much Ketamine he couldn’t pee straight… you would be leading your show with it.”

Pope Leo XIV will be celebrating a mass in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s multi-million tax paid birthday military parade. Chicago is expecting at least 1 million people to show up for the event. If you can make it to the Pope’s mass then do it, make it the biggest event of the day.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Donald Trump and House Republicans think their tax cuts for the wealthy are more important than feeding our children. Food banks like Kumler Outreach Ministries Food Pantry in Springfield are more important than ever — and I'm proud to support them in uplifting our communities.

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night. When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠
