I’ve found Schimpf’s arguments with Pritzker’s Covid response to border on being a covid denier. At the very least he was constantly moving the goal posts on how he felt about the Governor’s mitigation plan. I thought Schimpf was going to be a judge. We’ll see how Schimpf decides to roll himself out, all the while a very reliable Raunerite, and not at all outspoken against Trump. I appreciate his labor support and understanding that in Republican parlance to building coalitions… th...

Old, white, regional, angry… They just need a place, phony arguments, a pathetic need to feel aggrieved… instant Eastern Bloc event. It should be noted that Miller’s wife, Mary Miller, a member of Congress who praised the words of a National Socialist the United States defeated in a world war was in Washington DC during the insurrection. That Miller (both no relation to Rich Miller), you want he and his wife in your political corner, amirite? - Obama’s Puppy - Tuesday, Feb 9, 21 @ 10:4...

“I think that whatever the governor does, (the Republicans are) gonna have a criticism,” As a super-majority party statewide, this needs to be their mentality and message over the next two years, as the Republicans step up their attacks with their eyes on statewide offices. - Cool Papa Bell - Friday, Feb 5, 21 @ 10:45 am: I’ll guess that more lawmakers than not wind up taking the shot. But that many choose not to share any pictures on social media while doing to. =“I think that whateve...

- Too cute by half - Thursday, Feb 4, 21 @ 11:47 am: Am I the only one who thinks the process isn’t that hard? You go to the website, enter your name and date of birth, check off a few boxes, then hit submit and for the inevitable heat death of the universe. Didech - just stop talking. You aren’t helping yourself and it’s an embarrassing look. No Daniel, it really is about you jumping the line.

Pretty good summary except for the part about the Speaker being a devout Catholic. He was banned from receiving communion by Bishop Paprocki in Springfield churches in 2013 after voting to expand abortion access and in a 2019 deposition said he does not belong to a church or parish. I hope, for the sake of myself, my parents, and my children, that this is a new day in Illinois. Recommend the State Week piece. It’s worth a listen, and Rich doesn’t hold back. ” I think you’ll see him ret...

Associated Press file photo Days after being deposed as Illinois House speaker, Michael Madigan has vacated his Springfield apartment, fueling speculation that he will resign the Illinois House seat he has held since 1971. Madigan’s decision to vacate his apartment at Lincoln Tower, about a block from the Illinois State Capitol, was first reported by Mark Maxwell, a television reporter in Springfield. Maxwell tweeted a picture of an open door at Lincoln Tower, leading to a vacant apartment wi...

“She deserves a lot of credit for sticking her neck out there when nobody else would.” So many people in the comments here were mocking her for running because she didn’t have the path to 60 votes. She was the first one to step up and challenge the Speaker. That deserves so much credit because of how unprecedented it is in this state. Smart money seems to be on Welch, then. Deals have been cut. It’ll either be Madigan or Madigan’s guy and Rita Mayfield will be right, one way or other....

Williams gaining steam. Per the 7:18 update, further evidence that the Madigan regime has absolutely no clue how to operate in the online era. Separate from the scandal issues, this has been a compelling case for the last decade for why Democrats need to move on from MJM Seems like Mike Madigan doesn’t want hisnl inevitable demise to be covered, or for there to be a public record of how he managed to cling to power if he manages to survive. Bathroom Trooper, a lesser known song by Yes - Glas...

If you’re explaining, etc. – MrJM Gloves come off. Boss Madigan is not about to play today. He deserves pointed questioning. However this seems like the wrong line of questioning from the wrong questioner. You’re not helping, Anne. Stava-Murray makes Drury and Dunkin seem congenial, makes Wehrli seem reasonable. - The Fifth Deputy Governor - Sunday, Jan 10, 21 @ 5:48 pm: Seems like that line of questioning may have been a bit of a miscalculation… Attack his policies, not his religion. ...

Freshman GOP congresswoman apologizes for pro-Hitler reference at rally Print this article A newly sworn-in Republican congresswoman issued an apology for a pro-Hitler reference at a rally earlier in January. Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois issued an apology on Friday, days after she said, “Hitler was right on one thing, that whoever has the youth has the future. Our children are being propagandized" at a Moms for America Saving the Republic rally on Capitol Hill. At the time of the reference, ...
