Jesse Jackson was a champion for civil rights, economic justice, and world peace. I have always remembered his moving call for moral clarity at the 1988 DNC.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

DuPage County was an absolute disaster for the GOP last night. Out of the 49 contested races, they lost 48 of them. The only reason there's still GOP officeholders left is because those candidates went uncontested! All in all, the era of GOP local dominance in DuPage is dead.
