The blurb for a NYT story, showing pictures of Jeff Yass, Robert Bigelow, Reid Hoffmann, Reed Hastings, Jim WAlton, and JB Pritzker, reading: Billionaires Are Swaying Elections in All Corners of America Billionaires made 19 percent of all reported federal campaign contributions in 2024, a Times analysis shows, and even more in some local elections. Wealthy donors are reaping the rewards.

You wouldn't know it from the graphic, but JB Pritzker's picture is on the story not bc HE, a billionaire, is spending his money for personal advantage, but bc Ken Griffin unsuccessfully spent a lot of money to defeat Pritzker.

It is worth remembering that only *one* of these men paid a price for the Access Hollywood recording. And it wasn't the one bragging about sexually assaulting women.

And now we have evidence that that same man raped children. And there is *still* no accountability.

It's shocking to me that people stupid enough to stay on post-Musk Twitter are smart enough to ignore his ads.

Yep.

In 2020 a pandemic killed 1.2 million Americans and MAGAs tore their hair out over minor inconveniences intended to keep the toll <5 million.

Now Trump is spending $900M/day to fight a war no one wants that'll kill the economy and not only is it silence from the pandemic whiners but they're STOKED.

The difference between the spike in global oil prices now versus 2022 is that this time the US president single-handedly caused it to happen overnight with a policy while accepting no responsibility, while the US president in 2022 was blamed for it even though he didn’t cause it.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

2024: "I promise to bring your price for gas down. Way down."

Donald is breathtakingly incompetent.

It’s really not nice that we made International Women’s Day only 23 hours. Come on.

Fuck Trump.

Added an additional tip after the Uber drove me to brunch.

Here in Illinois, we honor the powerful women who paved the way for our state.

Unlike Trump, we see their strength — and we're proud of it.

On International Women’s Day and every day, we recognize that all of us have a better future when everyone reaches their full potential.

Opinion | Ukraine has begun providing American troops with anti-drone missiles. If they actually wanted to help, they'd be opening an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden.

How many countries will Trump bomb, how many will he try to destroy, in order to avoid accountability for his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and avoid the reality of his accelerating physical and mental decline?

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

Chicago-based construction firm Clayco launches solar energy business The construction firm will add nearly 1,000 employees nationwide by 2027 to its new unit, called Clayco Power and Energy.

Donald Trump may have gutted federal support for solar energy, but it's getting time to shine in Illinois.

With our Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act, we're incentivizing renewable energy with results like the launch of Clayco Power and Energy.

This could get ugly quickly.

We are not at war with Iran, although we have been for the last 50 years.

Q: Why do Republican men cry during sex?
A: The pepper spray.

the entire trump era has been the old joke about the dog who caught the car, if the dog then dragged the driver out and mauled him and then got in the car and drove it off the cliff

(in this parable, america is the car, I'm not sure who the driver is, this is just an internet post)

In addition to allegations of raping children, Trump is accused of otherwise assaulting them, threatened them repeatedly, and blackmailed and harassed them for years. He’s a monster.
He's also accused of confessing to Epstein that he uses illegal building permits.

That's... not how it works.

IT MATTERS IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE U.S. SOLDIERS GETTING TARGETED, YOU INSIPID GHOUL.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack. Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes. Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region.

The Glaring Oversight in the U.S. War Plan The Pentagon failed to adopt Ukraine’s best tools for downing drones.

Why didn't the US consult Ukraine, the one country that knows how to country attacks from thousands of cheap drones?
