From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Trump has already usurped the powers of Congress over spending, tariffs, and war and defied the judicial branch when it told him to stop. Yet the stock market has surged. Is it possible that investors — especially big investors — don’t particularly like democracy?

Yesssssss!

Pro-rape GOP.

Don't forget that nearly all Republicans in Congress stood by and supported Trump's... -Tax cuts for the rich -Cuts to the social safety net -Iran War -ICE abductions & National Guard deployments -Inflationary tariffs -Blatant corruption His unpopularity is theirs too — and the midterms are here.

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. 5 million people have lost food stamps — including 2 million children. And this is what he's thinking about?

Americans are rightfully fed up with the billionaire robber barons of Big Tech. Are we on the precipice of another age of reform? Here's why we might be... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-billionaire-barons-of-big-tech

Nothing is more important than this. We’re failing. “A new United Nations report says the U.S. is a major reason the world is losing ground in the fight against climate change.” Parnas

“Pete Hegseth approved testing of a military heat ray weapon for possible use at the U.S.-Mexico border, CNN reports.” Parnas Ming the Merciless.

He’s Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed, why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy up major media, and why our government shouldn’t give them huge military contracts.

When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Congratulations to all 24 schools across Illinois on your official recognition as a Governor’s Blue Ribbon School. You’ve all gone above and beyond in the past school year and set the standard for excellence in education.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Miss Doozy O’Riley!

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

All across Illinois, K-12 education is reaching new heights — and the results are in as we now rank fifth best in the nation for it.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence This is what we really need to thrive — not flying cars or AI or giant data centers.

💙 Go Vote 💙

After the federal government ended the Blue Ribbon Schools program last year, Illinois stepped in and established our own. Here, we believe that educational excellence should be celebrated. Today, I’m proud to recognize 24 schools as the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Schools for 2026.
