Apple, Google and Yahoo turn public opinion against Trump. Their "News Apps" picked most radical stories this AM Apple news: 13 left outlets, 0 right-leaning Google News: 15 left outlets, 0 right-leaning Yahoo News: 15 lefty outlets, 0 right-leaning 43 to 0 is purposeful

@chicagotribune The phone app deals are also discriminatory to seniors who dont have or are unfamiliar with smart phones.

From the Editorial Board: Jewel wants its rich, busy customers who can’t be bothered to “clip” things to pay more while also snagging those who are more price sensitive and willing to invest the time in getting a deal. trib.al/lZGTVw5

@GordonEPlemmons @RepMariaSalazar Think about it dumb ass. Americans in a small boat shooting first. Cubans are lying.

@RepMariaSalazar They shot at Cuban forces first, Cubans shot back. Not a hard case to look into since it says it in the headline you reposted

I am closely monitoring reports that Cuban regime forces opened fire on a speedboat with Florida registration, leaving four dead and six wounded. This is an unfolding situation, and I am awaiting further details from U.S. authorities.

@RepMikeQuigley You weren't at the SOTU, so you didn't hear it. Weasels going to weasel.

Trump doesn’t have a plan for the country—that’s why he wants you to stop paying attention. #SOTU

@JBPritzker The prices went up under the Biden administration. He is bringing them back down.

Under Trump: Your grocery costs are up. Your rent is up. Your utility bill is up. Your health care premiums are up. He didn't make America affordable again. Trump made himself and his friends at Mar-a-Lago even richer.

@RepMikeQuigley @TeamUSA And you won't even represent your taxpayers at the State of the Union. You are an embarrassment.

Trump continues to divide Americans, even our gold medal-winning Olympians. His mockery of the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team (who also won gold against Canada earlier last week) is unacceptable. This is not what @TeamUSA, America, or leadership is about.

Give this POS the George Ryan treatment ……

@MichaelAArouet The evidence shows this graph is WRONG!

His way of bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read. This means my first read on him was correct. He’s been handed so many things & put in high positions he never earned or deserved. Do you wanna know the craziest part of this footage that will haunt him forever? He’s literally slowing his speech down & talking in a sporadic cadence. He’s not just TELLING them that they’re all probably stupid & probably can’t read, he’s LITERALLY SLOW-ING-DOWN-HIS-SPEECH to make them understand the words that are coming out of his mouth!!!! As if they’re children!!!! That means he REALLY BELIEVES they’re slow. He’s not just saying it—he didn’t misspeak!!!! He BELIEVES it!!!! Do ya love it?!?!! Do ya just love it, black ppl?!????

This is communist carpetbagger OnlyFans candidate Kat Abughazaleh running for Illinois US House seat in Illinois District 9. People of Illinois don't let this happen. We don't need an AOC type representing us.

@Suntimes A once great newspaper gone to shit.

President Donald Trump's massive tax and spending bill will have vast implications for Illinois taxpayers, with scorekeepers saying the wealthiest filers are likely to reap the most benefits. chicago.suntimes.com/taxes/2026/02/…

Born with $ Billion in his piggy bank Never had to work a day in his life Bought the governorship then bought a second term by funding his weak opponent’s campaign Now wants to win a third term to position for a presidential run He could care less about Illinois

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: Illinois is now #1 in the nation for the highest property taxes. Before Pritzker, we were #2 behind New Jersey. Now? We’ve taken the crown nobody wanted. While families struggle with costs, the Governor is taking $18 Billion more from taxpayers than in 2019. #PritzkerPricing

@GovPritzker Which they will immediately pass on to all Illinoisans.

If social media giants are going to feed off Illinoisans, they ought to support them. I'm proposing a social media platform fee that will generate $200 million per year to support K-12 education. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/g…

Surprised the Bears might leave Illinois? Don't be. Just look at the long list of big-name headquarters to leave Illinois under Gov. Pritzker: Boeing Caterpillar Citadel Tyson Foods Morton Salt TTX Guggenheim Partners Pritzker has made Illinois toxic for businesses. Time for new leadership that cares about keeping businesses and franchises in Illinois – and bringing in new ones. Vote for @TedforIllinois on March 17.

@WGNNews @LtGovStratton @RepRobinKelly @CongressmanRaja What a pathetic choice.

Who do you think won the #WGNDebate| @LtGovStratton, @RepRobinKelly, or @CongressmanRaja? A recap of what candidates were asked and their responses: tinyurl.com/wgndebate

@WGNNews Looks like, with the choice the Democrats offer, the Republicans have a good chance this time.

Krishnamoorthi's reply: “Abolish Trump’s ICE” No masks… no more warrantless arrests. “I’m an immigrant myself. This is personal to me.”

Candidates have already been asked: What must be included in a deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security? #WGNDebate MORE: tinyurl.com/wgndebate

@GovPritzker @LtGovStratton Go ahead and keep fucking around and Illinois will lose the Chicago Bears.

I love my country. I refuse to stop. The hope I have found in a very difficult year is that love is the light that gets you through a long night.

@JulianaStratton Classy

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

@RepDanGoldman You lie like a rug. The Democrats are shutting down the government again.

Republicans are shutting down the government because of three basic demands to rein in ICE: - Unmask ICE Agents. - Follow the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, which requires a judicial warrant to search a home. - End roving patrols that demand people present citizenship paperwork. @HouseGOP should explain which of these basic asks to protect the American people is so extreme it justifies a government shutdown.
