@RandyGoat I’m with you on this

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I hate The Beatles! At TopGolf today every other song was The Beatles. I wanted to take a cheese grater to my ears.

@RandyGoat So my wife and I still have to pay taxes because we can’t have Children? Doesn’t sound like a good plan to me

Poland just enacted $0 income tax on citizens that have 2 or more children. Would this work in the USA?

@DarrenBaileyIL They need to be reduced or eliminated. We need to stop taxing people out of their homes. Illinois Government needs to be significantly reduced.

Illinois property taxes are up 27% since JB Pritzker took office. We just passed New Jersey for the highest in the nation. We need to freeze them. Then cap them for good.

@EricLDaugh @JJDJ1187 Buttigieg is an ass clown.

🚨 LMFAO! Pete Buttigieg is being mercilessly MOCKED nationwide for saying this: "What if we selected our president by letting the person who got the most votes take office, instead of the Electoral College?" Donald J. Trump would still be your president, check the scoreboard 🤣 And he wasn't even FOCUSED on only the popular vote. The Electoral College must stay!

@Milajoy I’ve been hearing that for years now

FBI Director Kash Patel says he has obtained PROOF that the 2020 election was STOLEN from Trump We will all find out about it very soon.

@marie_hummer @DarrenBaileyIL Just got my bill today almost 10k for a 1600 square ft home. Outright theft.

@rickjames5555 @DarrenBaileyIL Yea that would be nice our house is paid off but taxes on 1865.00

On Day One, I'm suspending the gas tax for 2 to 6 months. There's already $3 billion sitting in the road fun—we have plenty to operate. Drivers need relief now.

@ZachForIL You have my vote

Tammy Duckworth’s sanctuary obsession protects criminal illegal aliens over the Illinois families she’s supposed to represent. We’re paying for it in blood, money. and safety. I’m running to replace her and deliver real leadership that puts YOU first, not illegal criminals.

Imagine working your whole life just to make honey for someone else to put in tea… you ungrateful asshoes, I deserve better.

@ZachForIL Amen! This has gone on way too long. A Republican in Illinois has no voice. Democrats ram through any legislation that they dream up along with the new taxes to pay for it.

Stop the gaslighting. Illinois Democrats have run this state into the ground for years. Record high property taxes, families having to choose between food and fuel, businesses and residents fleeing. Duckworth and the rest of the machine own this mess! Not Trump, and not foreign conflicts. Time to replace the failed leadership, Illinois.

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

@BskiMike22802 @BernieSanders Absolutely brilliantly written. Sanders is a grifters grifter.

The Oligarchs want to control it all: our economy, our media, our political system. Today, workers around the world are joining together in solidarity to demand governments that work for ALL, not just the few. I am proud to stand on the side of the working class.

.@GovPritzker has spent the last 72 hours laying out making his pitch for president in 2028. My strong recommendation to conservatives is to watch him closely. 1) He told @CBSNews that @ICEgov and @CBP agents in Illinois "are eventually going to lose their jobs and even their freedom" (direct quote), pointing to a database his administration is helping compile. Yes, the sitting governor of a state is publicly threatening federal officers with prosecution for doing their jobs. 2) He immediately rebranded yesterday's Supreme Court ruling on Louisiana redistricting as "voter suppression that will silence Black and brown voters." The decision did no such thing. In fact, it explicitly outlaws the segregation of legislative districts based on race. But because this electorally threatens Democrats, whose coalition-building strategy depends on cynically exploiting racial grievances (as opposed to their record or policymaking ideas), his political aspirations rely on the style of inflammatory framing to which Democratic Party leaders have become accustomed. I've spent my whole career watching Illinois governors interact with national media and I've never seen anything like this. It's something different. It's a man transparently building a brand on a foundation of factually rearranged stories, presented with the calm certainty of a man who has confidently learned that most reporters will not challenge him, provided he is taking aim at the right-of-center targets. He will never be president. But he will cause enormous harm to his party and the country by trying. Worth watching.

@JamesHu27192912 @UltraMagaManda Al Gore has never been right with a prediction in his life.

Al Gore has now SWITCHED from Global Warming to GLOBAL FREEZING. Predicts ICE AGE within 25 years! 😂 You can’t EVEN make this $h*t up!!

@kittenaround_51 I do 85 routinely backing out of the driveway.

Imagine taking your car to a dealership and you get a notification that someone took your car and drove it for an hour at excessive speeds. The tracker on his car tops out at 85 mph.

Here is a list of Senate Republicans who will face a Primary in 2026. We need to make it abundantly clear that we will remove each one of them if they do not BRING A VOTE TO REMOVE THUNE. They need to know their asses are on the line. @GOPSenate @GOPSenMajority • Alaska: Dan Sullivan • Arkansas: Tom Cotton • Idaho: Jim Risch • Kansas: Roger Marshall • Louisiana: Bill Cassidy • Maine: Susan Collins • Mississippi: Cindy Hyde-Smith • Nebraska: Pete Ricketts • South Carolina: Lindsey Graham • South Dakota: Mike Rounds • Tennessee: Bill Hagerty • Texas: John Cornyn • West Virginia: Shelley Moore Capito

@LeaderJohnThune You haven’t done a thing for America. You’ve only obstructed American’s efforts. You’re going to cost all your incumbent senators their job.

The enormity of what Democrats have opted for cannot be understated. No one to stop dangerous individuals from making their way into our country, and no one to catch and deport these dangerous individuals if they do make it in. As long as Republicans are in charge, we’re going to do everything we can to protect our borders and keep dangerous criminal illegal aliens off our streets.

So ABC is fine with Jimmy Kimmel joking about President Trump’s death? 👌🏻Good to know. 🚫BOYCOTT Kimmel’s advertisers! ➤ Allstate ➤ McDonald’s ➤ Starbucks ➤ Apple ➤ AT&T ➤ Instacart ➤ KitKat ➤ Venmo ➤ JCPenney If ABC won’t hold him accountable, customers will.

@laurenboebert Why is he still Senate leader

Basically ALL conservative legislation is DOA in the Senate.

@timburchett @LAdair_SD Thune is a communist

I was there I heard it.
