@Notwokenow This was his and his friend's plan all along. Otherwise they would not have been recording. They set up the shot and he makes sure it is being recorded before the punch.
@BasedMikeLee Thune is the exact thing we feared. You know full well that if the Ds were in charge the filibuster would be gone and every agenda passed. Stop playing nice, torch it and see if it works. If things are better come 11/2026 the votes take care of themselves
@ChrisMurphyCT You could have also, oh I don’t know, not put an expiration on the subsidies. But that is your mantra, pull the pin and blame everyone else when the grenade goes off.
@ThomasSowell I find it funny that when a d is painted with a broad brush it is every kind of “phobic” and “ist” imaginable but when they do it to Rs it is perfectly acceptable.
@kaitlancollins A Jasmine Crockett is aiming for the title of “dumbest person and most horrific POS” in Congress. Saying “A” Jasmine Crockett means I don’t have to be talking about her, right?!?
@timkaine Will you or any democrats stand up or condemn the rhetoric coming from the left? Your hypocrisy is astounding. Oh, and you publicly endorsed a candidate who called for his opponent and his children to be killed, you may want to sit this one out.
Chicago Public Schools employee travel expenses by year:
2018: Data not available in recent Inspector General reports or public records (pre-dates the audited period).
2019: $3.6 million
2020: $1.8 million
2021: $0.3 million
2022: $3.4 million
2023: $6.9 million
2024: $7.7 million
These figures come from a November 2025 Chicago Public Schools Office of the Inspector General report on overnight travel spending (including airfare, lodging, and related costs for staff professional development and student outings). The report notes a dip in 2020–2021 due to the COVID-19 travel ban, with spending surging post-pandemic partly due to federal relief funds and lax oversight.
Well, he does have to earn it and deliver on a slew of metrics. We should do the same with congressional pay. You start at 0 and only get paid for reducing the debt, stop government overreach, and actually helping people. We all know you are wholly incapable of understanding that.
