[Illinois Policy @illinoispolicy]

Springfield has a massive transparency problem.

It's by design.

Instead of debating policy, state lawmakers push laws through in the dark.

Almost 400 bills passed the General Assembly this session. The timing exposes a scandalously broken system:

>Over 40% of these bills passed in the final week alone.

>21 bills were rushed through after the midnight May 31 deadline.

>The state constitution explicitly requires bills to be read on three separate days. This 3-day rule is rarely enforced in practice.

Lawmakers blame scheduling, arguing that the House and Senate barely overlapped until the last month of a five-month session.

The consequence?

They use "gut-and-replace" schemes to bypass public scrutiny, meaning representatives are often voting on bills they haven't even read.

Taxpayers deserve accountability and transparency.

🚨#BREAKING: It has been revealed that the man charged with m*rdering a pregnant mother and her unborn son in Atlanta...

...WAS RELEASED EARLY FROM PRISON FOR M*RDER JUST TWO YEARS AGO!!!!

He served just 11 MONTHS in prison for m*rder!!!!!!!

His name is Devin Anthony.

He was originally indicted in a 2024 case for, felony m*rder, aggravated assault, and a gun charge.

So what happened?

They let him plead it down to voluntary manslaughter.

They gave him "First Offender" status, meaning he wasn't even formally convicted.

He was ordered to serve just ELEVEN MONTHS behind bars and 19 years on probation.

Then, this February, he violated that probation. He skipped reporting. He failed a drug test. He blew off his anger management course. He didn't comply with the program.

They held him for 60 DAYS... AND THEN LET HIM GO!!!

...and then he used his probation to fire about a DOZEN shots through a bedroom window, into a home where 23-year-old Shakiya Pridgen was asleep in bed with her two babies.

She was hit.

So was her unborn son.

Shakiya was two weeks from giving birth.

She'd already had the baby shower.
She'd named him Kyren.

They are both gone.

Her two other children, ages 1 and 3, were in the bed beside her and they watched their mother pass away.

Shakiya's own mother said: "He got a second chance. Shakiya doesn't get a second chance. He should have never been let out."

Name the prosecutors. Name the judge. Name everyone who signed off on letting this man walk.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!

Elon Musk’s wealth is in shares, not a checking account. Force a tax like that and he has to sell stock, the company loses value, thousands of employees lose their jobs, and the government still doesn’t get anywhere close to what you’re promising. This take is what happens when you’ve never run a business in your life.

Looks like Major League Baseball has given the President’s Religious Liberty Commission more work to do.

@SaulGoodStocks @CryptoTRoute @Blakes_Take2 I wonder if you question the Christianity of Christians who support abortion and euthanasia?

[Lynn Roman @LynnRoman14]

@tiinaligema @TheJusticeDept @ASGWoodward Free?😂

[Kyle Mann @The_Kyle_Mann]

If my @TheBabylonBee writers had pitched this as a joke, I would have rejected it for being too outlandish.

[Lynn Roman @LynnRoman14]

@SInow So we have come to the point where you can be proud and out loud to be gay but if you are proud to be a Christian, you must be silent?

[Lynn Roman @LynnRoman14]

@Z_Archer25 @CynicalPublius Are you trying to prove Cynical’s point?

[Lynn Roman @LynnRoman14]

@thejmills @Republicans You are taking the word of a mentally disturbed woman. Bye

[Lynn Roman @LynnRoman14]

@thejmills @Republicans Then I can only hope your male loved ones find a woman as honest and moral as Jeanne Carroll.

[Josh Hawley @HawleyMO]

What does MLB think it’s doing penalizing players for their Christian faith?

They owe us some answers. Right now.

Also a message for so-called “teen takeovers”: the inmates do not run the asylum in Florida.

You will be held accountable for disorderly conduct — and if local authorities do not do so then I will replace them someone who will.
