So I see Moral Orel may end up benefitting from the GOP fuckery that's led to confusion about where Democrats can vote in Dallas County, Texas.

Those of you who voted for Trump in ‘16, ‘20 and/or ‘24 own this. We warned you about how evil, how racist, how corrupt he was and you voted for him anyway. This is the prism I will judge all of you through.

It was important to kick off Memorial Day weekend with active duty members of the military, veterans & Gold Star families at Chicago’s Memorial Day wreath-laying & parade. I was honored to meet Major General William J. Walker (Ret.), who led the National Guard on January 6, 2001.

Five years ago today, George Floyd was killed when his murderer kneeled on his neck for 9.5 minutes. Video of his death horrified our nation and a movement was born.
With a majority in the House, Democrats passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, but Republicans defeated it in the Senate.

This irresponsible & dangerous settlement that Donald Trump’s DOJ agreed to will cost American lives because it effectively legalizes machine guns. As a result, every community is less safe. I am not backing down from this fight, not from gun lobbyists, not from MAGA extremists. #StopGunViolence
Exclusive: The Trump Adm. has decided to permit the sale of "forced reset trigger" devices that enable regular firearms to fire like machine guns, a move that one person familiar with the matter said was “by far the most dangerous thing this administration has done” on gun policy.

Last fall during a visit to “The Blue Dot” I was introduced to someone everyone told me would be the next Mayor of Omaha, last night that prediction came true when John Ewing Jr beat the 3 term Republican mayor.
He will become the city’s 1st African-American mayor. Congratulations Mr. Mayor-Elect!
