Beverly Hilton Ballroom set up for the 2026 Artios Awards

Was honored to be double nominated last night at the Casting Society’s Artios Awards. As an awards junkie, the coolest part was being the Beverly Hilton Ballroom and seeing the bathroom that Christine Lahti was in when she won her 1998 Golden Globe.

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

Illinoisans know we need new leadership. We need new energy. I'm the only one on this stage who is willing to say that Chuck Schumer should no longer be the leader of the Democratic Party. And I believe that most Illinoisans and Democrats agree with me.

If Dem senators vote to extend the DHS CR again, they are instantly going to lose a tremendous amount of support from their base who have been in wait-and-see mode on this. I can only assume Dem senators considering this have completely lost touch with their voters. Don’t do it.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.

Hey @danielbiss.bsky.social, can you explain this? You are on the board of the DPOE and are a candidate running against Kat. As a resident of this district, please explain how this is not just a dirty trick like what we currently see all too often in Washington.

One problem Democrats face is that the job of chief electoral strategist (Schumer) is increasingly incompatible with being party leader (also Schumer). Both roles matter, but if you can't use your platform as leader to say what's right because you're too into the game, you don't belong in the job. >

Yes, voting against ICE funding is the morally right thing to do. But you can be the most heartless political consultant bastard out there - cutting ICE is still the smart play. That Schumer/Jeffries are silent right now is political malpractice (and morally reprehensible, if you care about that).

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

I live in IL-9.

I’m not an out-of-state β€œspecial interest” donor. But I will be voting for Kat.

Our district is lucky to have many candidates with very similar politics to Kat, but Kat has several key advantages that others don’t.

Why do we need to wait for the facts to come out? It’s been clear for a long time that ICE is a government sanctioned terrorist organization. We need a congressperson who will fight for us right away.

Wicked: For Good was not as bad as I thought it would be. I hated the first one so much that my expectations were set appropriately. It’s still not good by any means, but there are a couple solid performances.

So well deserved. One of my favorite performances of the year.

Haven’t finished your Xmas shopping?
May I suggest a trip to @steppenwolfthtr.bsky.social to check out a little show running until the end of January.

When people complain of the β€œuniparty” running our country, they are talking about shit like this.

Why believe Democrats are defenders of the rule of law and anti-corruption when the Democratic leader is HAPPY with Trump pardoning a dem politician accused of corruption??

The coordinated nature of thisβ€”none are facing voters in 2026β€”means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
