Anyone else watching State of the Swamp?
It’s pretty great.

The corruption of this administration is beyond understanding.

Would not want to be on the side supporting them.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

CBS News: Federal government watchdogs deny Duckworth's request for joint probe of immigration agents' use of force

Our independent watchdogs are failing the American people.

ICE has attacked citizens, cops and kids in Chicago.

They are killing people in Minneapolis.

Then turn around and lie to our faces.

If this pattern of abuse doesn't warrant a joint investigative task force, what does??

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension Contact Congress today!

Loser Mike Johnson hopes we forgot about extending ACA tax credits while he was on Christmas vacation.

Let’s make it very clear how wrong he is:

Opinion | An Anti-A.I. Movement Is Coming. Which Party Will Lead It?

We the people must lead on AI regulation! And we are! Our Civil Rights Monitor Poll shows 71% of Americans fear AI taking their jobs! AI isn’t innovation when it’s discrimination, job destruction, disinformation, enviro degradation..We created civilrights.org/value/center... to fight for protections

@charlotteclymer.bsky.social is spot on:

“It's 2025, and we're sharing bootlegs of a “60 Minutes” segment broadcast in other countries because our own nation is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers.”

Photo of Mike Johnson, man with a stern “I don’t want to betray my master” look, wearing a blue suit and glasses, with the caption: HEAR THE SURVIVORS RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES -THE REFORMERS

The sexual abuse of minors is not a partisan issue.

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles is about right vs wrong, good vs evil, and it’s long past time to acknowledge and protect the survivors.

All members of Congress must be on the side of justice.

Voters are watching.
2026 is coming.

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen.

They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.

Just downloaded the audiobook thanks to the Daily Beans podcast!

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) by definition is an acronym. Not a buzzword. It is the society I believe in.
Taking it a step further, I like adding B for belonging. That’s what continues to make this so important to me, and the the human condition. Belonging and Connection.

Just spent most of my day (and the last several weeks/months) making phone calls and sending emails to find food, diapers, and basic needs for the families in my community.
Where is DarinLahood? The elected representative for my district in Illinois?
I have reached out multiple times.

US Senator Sanders challenges Bezos, Amazon on automation's job impacts "If Amazon succeeds on its massive automation plan, it will have a profound impact on blue-collar workers."

Amazon's plan to replace 600,000 workers with AI and robots could save it $10 billion on top of billions more in tax breaks.

Today, I demanded answers from Jeff Bezos: Will you simply dump these workers out on the street, or will you treat them with the dignity they deserve?

Sounds like a conversation I just had with my family today about picking out a living will/trust/power of attorney thing.
Long story short- y’all have enough. Hence the phone call with Gramma Sheep 💙

Just got this notice recently from my town. Ogle County, IL. Rep here is LaHood.

Tweet from Cassidy: It is unfortunate that the Secretary just canceled a half a billion worth of work, wasting the money which is already invested. He has also conceded to China an important technology needed to combat cancer and infectious disease. President Trump wants to Make America Healthy Again and Make America Great Again. This works against both of President Trump’s goals.

Senator Bill Cassidy’s vote secured the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy jr. He’s now issued a brief statement faintly calling Kennedy’s destruction of vaccine research “unfortunate”

Feb: AG Bondi says she's "reviewing" the Epstein files

May: Trump finds out he's in them

July: DOJ says the files won't be released

🧐 Just a coincidence?

Or something more? #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

After 7 Decades of Measurements From a Peak in Hawaii, Trump’s Budget Would End Them

Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.

It’s ok to change your mind when you realize you were wrong.

Nancy Mace gets wrecked by a community note

Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest Mobile network anomalies consistent with cell phone surveillance were detected at a July 4 protest at an ICE field office in Washington state.

The First Amendment guarantees the essential right to assemble peacefully to advocate for any cause.

Reports that the Trump administration may be using invasive surveillance technology to monitor protests against their anti-immigrant polices without a warrant are deeply alarming.

it turns out that crime isnt a function of lack of policing but a lack of opportunity.

Anyone else cry today about the state of where our country stands, and the millions of disrupted-and soon to be disrupted lives stand?

When you jam your bill through overnight…

When you are forced to cancel town halls…

When you need to wear masks to hide your actions…

You know the people aren’t on your side—and now, you’ve lost us forever.

We will remember this day. We will remember your names. We will remember you as traitors.

Just sayin’!!

Illinois food businesses in the crosshairs of trade war Trump says will boost U.S. manufacturing Produce from warm climates can’t be reshored to the U.S. for year-round consumption, like some industrial and consumer goods.

Higher costs for fertilizer.
Canceled exports.
Stalled equipment upgrades.

For our farmers, Trump's tariffs are not a “boost”—it’s a disaster.

California AG Bonta: I, in partnership with Governor Gavin Newsom, are suing President Trump and asking the court to set aside the president's unlawful action federalizing the California National Guard.

McMAHON: Here's the other thing -- where are our guidance counselors in high schoolers?

DURBIN: Good question. You're cutting the number of counselors in these schools at the same time!

"Just one more thing, sir. Since the election, you've announced 12 projects in foreign countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, India, Qatar, & Oman. You got a $400 million jet, sold meme coins, $600 sneakers, Chinese bibles, & hats. How is any of this making America great?"
