I enjoyed this conversation. I was born in Chicago and lived in Chicagoland for 64 years, until this past November, when I moved to be with my family in a suburb of Champaign. I also worked in downtown Chicago and went to school at DePaul. I couldn’t have been more prouder of the turnout there for the protests.

The discussion about JB Pritzker was interesting. He has been fantastic at pushing back on Trump and everything he’s doing. When asked about 2028, he said he didn’t know if he would run for President, and that we usually pick a centrist. I think JB is definitely a progressive and will run. Lastly, I’m excited Raja is running for Senate. He represents my former district, just like Tammy Duckworth. Donate to him if you can.

Courage is contagious! Daily contacts with Congress on the budget bill (yes, we know what you're doing), potential for war, and personal freedoms. Educate yourself on Project 2025.

The license to kill started with DJT giving pardons to 1600 convicted felons who stormed the Capitol 1/6/21

It is my understanding that the bill is using a budget reconciliation but that it could only be items that effect spending. How do all these Project 2025 items qualify and are not stripped from the bill?

Who's Not Surprised by Cheeto Plunging America Toward War

Orange Cheeto is a belligerent angry bellicose hostile threatening confrontational POS who takes pleasure in inflicting emotional and physical pain in other human beings So why would it be surprising that this immorally bankrupt asshole wouldn't throw the country into war

And his Nazi sycophants in Congress will rubber stamp the effort because they can

Just another reason to encourage neighbors friends relatives to keep up the pressure on the Nazi party and Cheeto by Protest Protest Protest
