ILLINOIS GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D): "If they're gonna cheat, then all of us have to take a hard look at what the effect of that cheating is on democracy . And that means we've all got to stand up and do the right thing. So as far as I'm concerned, everything is on the table."

Hey, @acvalens.net Just got off my daily call with MC and tried a bit of a different approach. TLDR: I got the rep to say that the offical position of Mastercard is that if you're dissatisfied with their rules and service, you should just choose a different card provider/bank. cont.

FUCK! STOP DEPORTING Afghan interpreters! Period. A few have been arrested after a green card appointment. Another was Detained after his asylum hearing. Both helped U.S. troops. Now ICE wants to deport them. WTF? No one will ever help Americans abroad, ever! Disgraceful.

Phang: Good for Pritzker, good for Hochul, good for Newsom—good for these other Democratic governors who are saying, “You know what? F off.” We’re not going to let people in these other states—people who are under attack and trying to do the right thing for their constituents—go without support

Senator Mike Gianaris (‪@sengianaris.bsky.social) and I worked together to deliver for our public transit system, including historic new funding for better service and a groundbreaking fare free bus pilot. That's why I didn't mind lending him our video team to deliver this important message:

⚡️JUST NOW: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social barred from a Secretary Noem event at NASHVILLE AIRPORT, in his own district🤔 He says he wanted to ask where hundreds grabbed by ICE in the Nashville raids are, has never been kept from an airport event. FULL Hill stream: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0cw...

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

Repeatedly Etsy was asked to please stop promoting "Alligator Alcatraz" merchandise. This is wrong, profiting from the misery of immigrants deported to this death camp. But Etsy refused, so folks are boycotting them! Fuck you, Etsy! I'm joining the boycott. Not buying anything from them.

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Pretty on the money quote at the bottom of my cheesecake slice

Amazing how the anti-war “America First” crowd vanishes when their guy starts dropping the bombs.

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Yes, please.

Tell me why does a teacher have to quit their job and get a job at a casino because it pays more. #education #farepay #resist Pay our teachers fare wages 🫶💙

Hip Hip Hooray BEN! Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

About time!

Do the right thing: rank me #1, Zohran #2, and DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙
