"I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill."

What she means is she's willing to bring legally deficient cases that harass innocent defendants, waste her line prosecutors' time, and makes her office look like jerkoffs in front of judges and juries.

How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.

How do you think this all ends, folks?

Also a reminder that voting is strategic. If you want it not to be you should be vehemently fighting for ranked choice.

Today, alongside Governor Pritzker and Lieutenant Governor Stratton, we announced $1.5 billion in medical debt forgiven for Cook County residents, the most of any county in the nation.

More than 630,000 residents have seen their debt erased with more eligible in 2027.

It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans don’t see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. That’s why οΏΌthey hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they don’t believe in doing the work.

Boycott OpenAI! OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, announced Friday that the company reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on a classified network just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to phase out rival Anthropic.

The hard truth: the only real safeguards the US government has against what we're going through right now is electing and appointing men and women who take their oath to uphold the Constitution seriously. A government built on the honor system crumbles when dishonorable people are in charge.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically.

Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has admitted this is a regime change war. He did this without congressional authorization. This is an unconstitutional action. Worse, he clearly has no plan for what comes next. It’s a Mad King war.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

anyways if you're a sane person who can afford to work for the obscene poverty pay of the oregon state legislature, please consider running for it because every news story about it makes me sad

The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War A statement from our CEO on national security uses of AI

A major Pentagon–Anthropic showdown is underway. The Pentagon is pushing for Claude to enable mass AI surveillance + autonomous drones, threatening a supply-chain-risk label or a defense production act takeover if they don’t.

Ultimatum was issued for tomorrow.

Anthropic just refused.

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.

Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

Just because he was a good surgeon doesn't actually make him good at anything else. The weird reverence some people have for him is gross. Oz is a moron in many areas and has 100% been corrupted by money and fame.

if AOC is too right-wing for you to support, you do not believe in electoral politics and should just be honest about that

These are efforts to make cures for multiple sclerosis, herpes β€”Β affects hundreds of millions in the US alone! β€”Β and shingles.

This is mindblowing, amazing stuff.

But these efforts for cures require a predictable regulatory environment, where decisions are made based on science & and pub health.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Can we talk about how batshit crazy it was for Trump to post that China was going to permanently cancel the Stanley Cup if Canada signs a trade deal with them, or do we just assume at this point that he’s completely psychotic?

DHS Secretary says filming ICE is illegal and amounts to doxxing.

They’re absolutely wrong.

Recording law enforcement in public spaces is protected by the First Amendment β€” and courts have affirmed that right time and again.
