@BasedMikeLee Since the 17th Amendemnt was ratified, the states have no real representation in the Federal Government. That was the original purpose of the Senate, to represent the individual states.
@JDoors2525@publicpolicyman A mile south of the crossing is the Central Street station. The train was northbound and running local, making all stops, so it would have been stopped in Evanston a mile before impact. The track runs straight, paralleling Green Bay Road.
@chiguypotts@publicpolicyman If you have ever driven by there you can tell that there is no way any long truck won't bottom out there. Plus, there are two traffic signals designed to clear cars from the track and prevent others from crossing when train is oncoming. People run the lights all the time.
@MJisMAGA@ScottPresler Yet for 2026 the ILGOP rehashes a sacrificial lamb who ran against Schakowsky in 2016. John Elleson lost to Jan in 2016 with 26.5 percent of the vote; he won't get more against Biss. Uptown has so much in common with Cary. The Republican party in Illinois is worse than a joke.
