@Tacky3663_ Those Democrats were bought with sweeteners the Bears won't accept.
The bill the Bears will accept isn't the one those 60 Democrats will vote for.
English
Via the house rule of 60, no vote will be called if there are not 60 Democrats.
Republicans can't make up the difference in the house.

NEW: Mayor Johnson might have more juice in Springfield now than in the past. State Sen. Willie Preston says he supports the mayors position and says Bears Megaproject legislation is a non-starter with him. "I don't accept the premise that the Bears can't stay in Chicago." Says there are enough Chicago-area dems to kill the bill- but doesn't rule out republicans signing on to put it over the top.

@FrankLuntz It's amazing how many women on dating apps say "don't bother messaging me if you're maga" liberal women are the most closed minded people in the US.

President Donald Trump’s abrupt reversal on his plan to help ships transit the Strait of Hormuz came after a key Gulf ally (Saudi Arabia) suspended the U.S. military’s ability to use its bases and airspace for the operation, according to two U.S. officials, NBC reports.

🔺 Trump failed across all fronts, including attempts at regime change, uranium seizure, and efforts to control the Strait of Hormuz.

@RichardHaass Richard, this is very disappointing to hear from you. Maybe you should take a step back, avoid MSNBC for a while, and try a little common sense. Please

Iran advisor to Supreme Leader, Ebrahim Rezai, says Axios report is more of an American "wish list" than reality
"Americans will not gain anything in a losing war that they have not gained in face-to-face negotiations, Iran is ready to pull the trigger. If they do not surrender and make the necessary concessions, or if they themselves or their puppets try to misbehave, we will give a harsh and regrettable response."

متن اکسیوس لیست آرزوهای آمریکاییهاست تا یک واقعیت، آمریکاییها چیزی که در مذاکرات رودررو بدست نیاوردهاند در یک جنگ شکست خورده به دست نخواهند آورد، ایران دست به ماشه و آماده است، اگر تسلیم نشوند و امتیازات لازم را ندهند یا بخواهند خودشان یا سگهای پادوشان شیطنتی کنند پاسخ سخت و پشیمانکننده خواهیم داد.

@RonBrownstein Red wave coming in November! People are tired of Democrats

The Indiana results further reduces the limited odds that any Republican will separate from Trump, even in places where his agenda is deeply unpopular. The CA Gov debate, w/Hilton & Bianco hugging Trump in a state where his approval is ~30%, is a real world measure of that impact
English
@EWErickson The Republicans are gonna lose because they do nothing 80% of the country wants it and they're blocking it because like Kemp rhinos enjoy the cheating in their dirty states with dirty voter rolls. Glad you're all caught up jellybean jar head stenographer for the rhinos.

Republicans are talking themselves into victimhood. The SAVE Act isn't going to pass, which the GOP will use to explain away losses in November.

The Republican primary voter will be the last constituency to abandon Trump. That's why the elected GOP (with precious few exceptions) falls in line. Their jobs depend on it. nytimes.com/2026/05/05/us/…
English
These headlines are so strange man. Basically saying, "Tonight proved that the GOP is still a cult of personality that has no policy, no agenda, no vision beyond servility to Donald Trump." Yes. It has been that way for years, and his stranglehold on the party has only grown stronger because most normal, sane, principled Republicans have been purged, which has happened at the same time that the majority of Americans have soured on Trump and the GOP. "Trump flexed his grip on the GOP" is like writing "Jim Jones flexed his grip on Jonestown."
Adam Wren@adamwren
New: President Donald Trump flexed his grip on the GOP base in Indiana on Tuesday, vanquishing a majority of the Republican state senators who had dared cross him on redistricting. It was a show of force in the year’s first major test of Trump’s power over the GOP. Trump aligned groups dumped millions against the eight GOP lawmakers who blocked his effort to gerrymander the state. And on Tuesday night, at least five lost reelection. politico.com/news/2026/05/0…

@Phil_Lewis_ @rolandsmartin Not surprising since Indiana was the klan capital of the north back in the 1920’s. Those beliefs never go away.

President Trump: Based on the request of Pakistan and other Countries, the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally, the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed. President DONALD J. TRUMP

@LizzieMarbach I don't play video games but what's the difference between video games and a guy who watches sports every night? At the end of the day it's about communication and making sure family comes first. Most men are able to handle both and you wanna throw everyone under the bus. 🤔
English
I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games.
Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do.
It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼♀️
