Former GOP, currently Anti-MAGA, supports democracy and the values upon which the USA was founded. "A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both" - Ike '53. (I block bots and trolls.)

SYSTEM, SYSTEM? What’s failed them is a MAGA GOP that feasted on immigration doomsaying to feed of people’s bigotry for political gain got a rapid dog elected. The dog caught the car and with the utensils provided by Roberts started EATING THE DAMN CAR. Now the economic vehicle doesn’t work as well.

If the extreme-right/MAGA cancer hadn't taken over the GOP, this wouldn't be necessary. The party would have run decent candidates who cared about governing the state, like they did with Olgivie, Thompson, and Edgar.

The takeaway is the American military doesn't have adequate defensive measures to protect its bases. Seen this in the Middle East and now we evidently don't feel safe in NATO countries. Something is wrong here. Maybe, I can take solace that our soldiers are HIGH T. @markhertling.bsky.social

Congratulations on Gov. Pritzker. Hope you continue your lifestyle changes after attaining your target weight. I've found that to be the hard part - been at target twice and working on 3.

Beginning to believe in the Sox's Pope mojo. If they win the World Series, they have to skip the WH visit and head straight to Rome. This Cubs fan is rooting for them to get it done.

No redemption from this coward. Phony excuses, perpetuating lies and continuing to cover for Trump. Party before country was the clear message from the interview.

It was good to re-read the S-T coverage again. I had a lot of memories from the first time I met him to working with the man on legislation. This pride of the same hometown as my mom rightly ended as a disgrace. Public memories are unimportant. We must think about the victims he harmed.

After seeing the massive list of Trump pardons and preemptive pardons and Biden’s understandable, but misguided pardons. I believe a constitutional amendment eliminating or restricting the pardon would have a good chance of passing. One of the only proposals that can pass.

One could point out the US Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment, but the MAGA SCOTUS only worries about inconveniences to MAGA GOP controlled government actions.

Asking questions. LOL. A Q based on a wrong assumption from shoddy work by Schmitt. Kennedy asked about the tooth fairy and Easter Bunny. All to assail the guy trying to get accountability for the criminals responsible for attacking the Capitol and democracy. An event causing the deaths of cops.

This lede is being way too kind to Missouri's embarrassing Senator. The nation is laughing at Schmitt. He's the dirtbag that he yelled at Smith. Yesterday's hearing was pitiful. Eric Schmitt shoots, misses while questioning ex-special counsel about basketball game www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...

As noted here, that the texts referenced on the poster didn’t refer to Atlanta or the Hawks. Seems like a point that should have been highlighted as well. As we saw in Missouri, Schmitt is known for shoddy work that wasted taxpayer money.

Irrespective about the point that Anzalone is financially in Rahm's pocket. If Rahm knew how to win, why did he bail as Mayor of Chicago. It wasn't for higher elected office. Time has passed Rahm by. We need new leaders not old pols.

In short, the MAGA GOP is using the Trans Bogeyman to divert voters' attention from the truth and real issues that affect them. Show them we're not children to be scared by fake monsters by VOTEING NO ON AMENDMENT 3.

Proud of my home state's foresight but frustrated by the tactic and implementation. Worked on plenty of legislation creating task forces. Historically, they are a waste of time and money. Task forces that do meet and perform the work generally end up with reports that sit on shelfs.

I expected better from Fred given his work with the Lincoln Project. Wagner needs to be held accountable for doing nothing, saying nothing and lying about Trump's $billion dollar corruption. Wagner is a rubber stamp for everything bad that's happening in our country today.
