@IllinoisReview @JerryA61290697 What leadership does the GOP have in IL? I’d say you could invoke the slaughter rule a long time ago and just move on to another state worth saving.

Dan Proft and Jeanne Ives have spent $60 Million on political races with Zero wins.
At this point it’s not campaign strategy — it’s a business model

@IllinoisReview Suspend all GOP donations to any candidate in IL. There, solved it for you.

@ChicagosMayor @chicago @Ward26Chicago @ChicagoCOPA @Chicago_Police This is the only welcome people can count on from you. Feds should lock you all up.

Accountability starts at home. The Welcoming City Ordinance is more than a piece of paper, it’s a commitment to everyone who calls @Chicago home.
Today’s vote is a crucial step for our communities to know that local law enforcement is working for them as we continue to drive down violence in our city and Protect Chicago from Trump's militarized immigration campaign.

Darren Bailey is back.
And he's still too extreme for Illinois.

@IlliniJen @WesternLensman I’d rather she keep a mask on at all times.
English
Well, that didn’t take long.
Now assured of victory in November, Juliana Stratton takes off the mask.
She’s openly calling to abolish ICE, grant citizenship to all illegal immigrants, and prosecute federal agents.

@MCorleCapital @dailydirtnap @AndrewHMPalmer The laws around income taxes are a complete sham. If you are a middle class W-2 worker, you have almost zero ways to avoid income taxes. If you are wealthy, you have endless ways of avoiding income taxes. A simple rental property can yield massive writeoffs.
English
@dailydirtnap @AndrewHMPalmer I’m in red state , sale tax is 9.95% on almost everything.
Do you support this or less tax on income.
I understand economics but increasing sales tax to cut income tax is beyond stupid.
English
Red states are eliminating income taxes, blue states are raising them.
It's going to be amazing to see what this country looks like in 20 years.

@porterstansb You’ll have to find enough people with a spine. The only country left that will not tolerate this nonsense is Poland.

The lie that diversity is a strength is the basis of modern marxism. It is a lie we must be brave enough to combat.

Lee Kuan Yew, founding father of Singapore, on England’s trajectory in 2002: "Five decades ago London had less food, less cars and was deprived of the modern consumer society. But the people were homogeneous, White, Christian, admirable, self-confident, courteous… Britain is now multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-religious. Churches are nearly empty on Sundays, while some 500 mosques are filled to capacity on Fridays, and other Hindu temples. Well, what of the future?"

@NancyMace Your party is crumbling right before the midterms. Keep up the great work!

Didn’t know Rand Paul had to have part of his lung removed after he was assaulted.
Makes this exchange with Markwayne Mullin all the more disturbing. How difficult is it to say someone shouldn’t be assaulted, nor should we be encouraging violence of others?
Senator Rand Paul@SenRandPaul
"So, today, Markwayne Mullin, I’ll give you a chance. Tell it to my face. Tell the world why you believe I deserved to be assaulted from behind, have six ribs broken, and a damaged lung. Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it."

@TedForIllinois The people of Illinois don’t deserve you. What could they possibly have in common with a principled, fiscally responsible, conservative.
English
Wow - What an experience running for Governor has been! Carrie and I enjoyed traveling the state and meeting so many great Illinoisans.
We are so thankful for the warm reception we received and the many folks who hosted us, donated to our campaign, and volunteered many hours to help us reach voters.
God Bless All of You! And God Bless Illinois!

@WarrenPies @rev_cap The boomer shit is about as old as the boomers. You sound like you might have a slight case of TDS.

@rev_cap I love that your edge is immersing yourself in boomer programming (seriously).

@bennyjohnson @KenPaxtonTX Pass the bill or prosecute the hell out of the 2020 election, one or the other. We can do a deal like that?

Senator Ron Johnson Says The Only Way to Pass The SAVE America Act Is PUBLIC PRESSURE:
"Right now, 80% of Americans think they should have Voter ID... And if you want to understand the public pressure, take a look at John Cornyn and how he switched his attitude toward the filibuster when he's up in a primary of Republican voters. He realized, in order to win that primary, I have to be for ending the filibuster. It'll be public pressure that will end it and hopefully pass the SAVE AMERICA Act"

@JBPritzker You celebrating more honor students getting shot and killed in your fucking graveyard city? Is that it?
English
@royalpratt He got 30% because of imbeciles like you puffing for the scum in charge. No worries, decent people that play by the rules are all leaving. Soon, you’ll have the Garden of Eden you deserve.
English
Dan Proft may not know how to win elections. But he does know how to get paid $25,000 a month by Ted Dabrowski’s campaign while helping him get less than 30 percent of the vote.
English
@TheUman23 Why even bother, everything in the state is rigged. I left in 2012 and I can only laugh at the stupid fucking people in that state.
English
@ode_to_fyodor @STFUParents @MarkLevineNYC He wins, countless studies by economists dismiss his dumbass arguments, but if you repeat it enough times, it must be true.
English
@STFUParents @MarkLevineNYC Okay not only are you economically illiterate, but the thing you find hard to believe is that I would have visited NYC many times? Just like millions of other Americans have?

New monthly report: Median rents in Manhattan have hit $5k/month for first time ever. +6% over past year.
Median rents in Brooklyn have also reached an all-time high $4,296, +7.5%.
The report cites "the tightest inventory seen in nearly four years" as cause for rapid rise in rents. Translation: We desperately need to build more housing, including affordable housing.

@Giannoulias The only hope for the state is if we can lock up a few more of you. And based on the track record, there’s a good chance you’re next.

Restaurants have closed in record numbers (and hundreds of jobs lost!) since this ordinance was enacted. I haven’t spoken to one restaurant owner, especially smaller, independent ones, that support this. We need to help save Chicago’s independent restaurants & support our servers & support teams. Our hospitality industry is the backbone of our city.

@Angiemikhael19 @Ketamine_Cap Only question is whether you get to experience the low living of weed and ignorant neighbors for $6k a month like I did living in Hudson Yards.

@Ketamine_Cap You don’t get that view from the other side. It’s a great view 💙

@Fynnderella1 @Rightanglenews @BenStiller Little clown nobody gives a shit about your soda, except now we all know to avoid it.
English
@Rightanglenews If he learned to keep is misguided opinions to himself, maybe @BenStiller would sell more of his soda 🤣
English
BREAKING - The internet is absolutely mocking TDS-afflicted Hollywood actor Ben Stiller after he made a public appearance for his new soda brand, only for everyone to ignore him.
English
@jonnajarian Most of the people that voted for this aren’t being harmed one bit. Only the people that play by the rules are and I doubt many of them voted for this turdbomb.

Enjoying those property tax increases & daily fights on the subway Mamdani voters?
Jake@JakeCan72
Mamdani’s freezing rent on a million apartments. Landlords are selling. Property taxes are up 40% in some buildings. Market-rate tenants are eating the difference. Meanwhile she’s on the water in Tampa. Two beds. Two baths. No sirens. No Jets. “Share this with someone who thinks New York is better than Florida.” This chick is hilarious 😆
