The moment Collins announced she was a no on Blanche, you KNEW they had the votes.
It really is amazing that Trump keeps pushing to throw some random guy who didn't seem to commit any crime into prison for a decade and this isn't being treated like a huge scandal.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: “US Attorney Pirro should re-visit her hastily made decision, especially since it turned out that the ‘gentleman’ involved is a big player in ActBlue, a disgraceful fundraising SCAM, and is represented by a TRUMP DERANGED SLEAZEBAG, Political Hack Lawyer, Norm Eisen”

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.
Is the rent too damn high? Are we ready to value people over parking lots? Is it time for Illinois to create more homes and more opportunity? That’s what I thought. Let’s BUILD!
