@GovPritzker The most gerrymandered state in the country is discussing democracy…. Hypocrisy at its finest.

The Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act is an attack on our constitutional republic. Illinois will fight back, uphold our values, and safeguard democracy.

@BuckSexton #ToxicEmpathy: the public show of "fighting for the little guy". Doesn't matter... Trans, illegal alien, big bad business. Feelings matter more than results, and there is no looking back - not caring about ramifications. Feelings matter more than deeds.

If you think she regrets this idiocy now that thousands lost their jobs, you don't understand democrats. The results never matter. It's the public show of 'caring about the little guy'- that's the motivation. The whole point. Reality is irrelevant.

@SenatorHick Saying "safe and secure" does not actually make it so. Why not protect your vote? Why not actually make it safe and secure? What are you hiding? Wouldn't you want to trust your vote counted? 82% of the country wants the Save Act. Why don't you listen to your constituents?

I’ll say it until the cows come home.  The SAVE Act is voter suppression. Mail-in voting is done in red and blue states alike. It’s safe and secure.   I'm still a hell NO on the SAVE Act.

Had Spirit Airlines been allowed to merge with Jet Blue, it would have given them much more resiliency.   Thanks to @SenWarren, @PeteButtigieg, and all of their friends in the Biden Administration who backed their enthusiastic opposition to the Spirit-Jet Blue merger, dozens of regional airports will now lose service and thousands of jobs will now be lost.

Am I the only one who still views minimum wage as gas money for your car and movie tickets for you and your date while you gain work experience in high school or at the bookstore in college? When did it become a career wage?

Spirit charged for carry-ons, but Elizabeth Warren charged it with existence.

If you are stuck in an airport due to the Spirit Airlines shut down, call @SenWarren office If you are one of the thousands of employees that lost their job, call @SenWarren office 😢👇

Today, 14,000 Americans are waking up unemployed because Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Lina Khan, and the Biden Administration insisted they were smarter and more knowledgeable about the airline industry than the airline industry itself. Technocrats kill jobs.

@covie_93 Really racist to assume that all people of color vote the same way.

If the Black vote wasn't powerful Republicans wouldn't be trying so hard to weaken it.

@MarkWarner In other news, temporary tax credits created by Democrats in Congress expired... Obamacare, also created by Democrats in Congress, has proven to be a huge, costly mistake that is unaffordable, contrary to many promises by @BarackObama and @TheDemocrats No surprises here

We all knew this was going to happen – after Republicans ended ACA tax credits that kept health insurance affordable, millions are now dropping their coverage. It never had to be this way.

it is almost like they are twins.... @SenWarren @ewarren

@SpiritAirlines bankruptcy IS NOT an example of Adam’s Smiths “invisible hand”. The free market offered a perfect solution for the troubled airlines back in January of 2024(@JetBlue merger). The government (@PeteButtigieg and @SenWarren) stepped in and stopped the market based solution. Today there are 14,000 people who are telling their family that they no longer have a job because politicians wanted to pretend they were helping..

Dear Senator Sanders, Oh, this is RICH. This is so perfectly, exquisitely, weapons-grade rich that I had to put down my anatomy exams and just... appreciate it for a moment. The man who got thrown out of a SOCIALIST HIPPIE COMMUNE in Vermont in 1971 — after THREE DAYS — for refusing to do any actual work while everyone else planted, harvested, and hauled water, is out here telling me the OLIGARCHS want to control everything. Three. Days. The communists gave you a longer trial period than most employers give to someone who steals from the register. Here is what Jim Quinn's Law Number Two says, and I want every single person reading this to tattoo it somewhere useful: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing." Senator, you OWN THREE HOMES. A Burlington residence. A D.C. townhouse. A $575,000 vacation lake house in North Hero, Vermont — purchased in 2016, the same year you were touring the country telling college students the system is rigged. Your net worth sits somewhere between $2.5 and $3 million. You have pocketed over $2.5 MILLION in book royalties since 2011. That elevator is clearly not stuck between floors for you, is it. And then — THEN — during your "Fighting Oligarchy Tour" with AOC, you spent over $550,000 in CAMPAIGN FUNDS on PRIVATE JET TRAVEL. Half a million dollars on luxury jets to lecture working Americans about the dangers of wealth. When Fox News caught you boarding a Bombardier Challenger 604 — a jet that runs up to $15,000 PER HOUR — you did not apologize. You did not even blink. You looked directly into the camera and said, and I am quoting this verbatim because it is the most accidentally honest thing you have ever said: "You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?" Senator. THAT IS OLIGARCHIC THINKING. That is TEXTBOOK "the rules apply to you people, not to me." That is the elevator music of every single billionaire you have spent 35 years pretending to oppose. In a battle of wits with your own stated beliefs, you showed up completely unarmed. Thirty-five years in Congress. You know what your personal legislative output looks like? Eight bills passed. EIGHT. In three and a half DECADES. That works out to 0.23 bills per year. I have produced more graded anatomy exams in a single semester. Your two greatest solo legislative achievements — the ones with your name on top, the thing YOU actually DID — are the naming of a post office in Danville, Vermont, and the naming of a post office in Fair Haven, Vermont. You named. Two. Post offices. You are as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually passing legislation, but you want me to believe you are the vanguard of the working class. That sounds like a YOU problem. Quinn's Law #25: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." You have been living PROOF of that law for 35 years. You give away everyone else's money — from a vacation home on a lake — while spending half a million on jets because you are far too important to wait in line with the taxpayers funding your lifestyle. You want to talk about oligarchs controlling the media? You have been IN the media for four decades. You just finished a $75 million documentary. You have a book deal. You have a podcast. You HAVE the megaphone and you are using it to tell people that other people have the megaphone. The gene pool really needed a lifeguard for THAT particular reasoning. I am a high school science teacher in Northeast Ohio. I support a family of six on a teacher's salary. I am not particularly impressed by a man with three houses, $550,000 in jet receipts, and 0.23 bills per year telling me he stands with the working class. More famous than wise, Senator. More famous than wise. The hippie commune knew it in 72 hours. How long is it going to take everyone else? IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this. COMMENT below — do YOU think a man with three homes and a half-million dollar private jet habit speaks for working Americans? Tell me. And if you want MORE of this — the data, the history, the science, the stories — JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who can actually do math, a retired Army combat medic who knows what genuine sacrifice looks like, and apparently one of the few people left who finds it suspicious that the most vocal enemy of oligarchy just cannot bring himself to wait in line at the airport with the rest of us. @JoJoFromJerz @GuntherEagleman @catturd2 #MAGA #Veterans #Trump

@TimRunsHisMouth @Rep_Stansbury and who the hell is this Gerry Mander guy...

@Rep_Stansbury For starters… The idiot on the left doesn’t know what a woman is.

This is a Justice Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor appreciation post. Thank you for your just and righteous voices and your fierce defense of our democracy. ❤️

@ML3democrats I could only guess what an HRC court would look like... Thank God she lost

“A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT COULD STACK THE SUPREME COURT WITH JUSTICES WHO WILL RIP AWAY ALL OF THE PROGRESS WE’VE MADE.”—Hillary Clinton in 2016. Again she was right. She deserves to be respected

@HillaryClinton I think we need to coin a term called "Whitesplaining" where white folk assume that all people of color vote the same way and need elites like HRC to come to their rescue. White savior syndrome in politics is such a bad look, and @HillaryClinton is the worst

@hashjenni It would seem racist to think that all women and minorities vote the same way. Would you not agree?

The Supreme Court is apparently only there to remove the rights of women and minorities, at this point.

@GovPritzker "One man’s ‘gutting of the VRA’ is another man’s return to what the law actually says". The court followed the law "as written." You should try it JB.

We must call this for what it is: voter suppression that will silence Black and brown voters. The magnitude of this decision cannot be understated — it guts the Voting Rights Act and its very purpose of protecting all voices. Every American deserves an equal vote.

@SarahIronside6 I accept your "Fuck You." HRC and SCOTUS are exactly why I held my nose and voted for Trump in 2016 and again in 2024.

I would like to send out a massive and heartfelt "fuck you" to every single person who ignored Hillary Clinton's warning about SCOTUS in 2016.

The Supreme Court’s just said that you can’t gerrymander by race and all the people who claim not to be racist are really angry that they can’t be racist.
