Of political note, specifically for Illinois Gov. Pritzker:
-The Bears go to Indiana he's the villain, how dare he let that happen.
-The Bears stay in Illinois at the expense of ANY tax increase, how dare he let that happen, resign!
Not an enviable position to be in. And the way things stand now if he can get the Bears a deal it will almost certainly include tax breaks or a tax hike.
@DarrenBaileyIL How would you have kept them? You and your party complain about over taxation yet that's exactly how Indiana is paying for the bears new stadium.
@realBlagojevich Explain how? Indiana is jacking up the taxes of Hammond and all surrounding areas so the state pays 100% of the bill. You're saying we should do the same?
This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
@Milajoy Do you want your property value to increase? You need to invest in schools. Do you want your sewers to back up into your house? You need to invest in infrastructure. Instead of bitching about paying taxes check your government on how they spend your money to benefit you.
@Polititwittt@MrRelatable88 In a stable economy with a quality job market the adult kids wouldn't need help from their parents but Trump decimated that. Anyone who wants to start investing now is also kinda screwed.
