Sen. Duckworth takes no prisoners and will ask tough questions of Rubio and the other toadies for Donald. Sen. Duckworth wants them to account publicly for their misconduct.
That’s my Senator!!! Tammy Duckworth served in the military with more courage than most! She can take down these Putin-loving quacks in a second! We have some fantastic leaders here from Chicago. Congresswoman Delia Ramirez is another superb fighter for our Rights.
An important message! It's corporate media, owned by billionaires commanding the media that hijacked our 1st Amendment Constitutional rights They spew whatever they want you to believe. Multiple national nursing assoc.have issued statements against protesting the murders of Rene and Alex; they don't make the news. Thanks Scott and Substack for your dedication against it.

Scott, I have written to both of my senators to ABOLISH ICE. Not worried about Tammy Duckworth…but made it clear to Dick Durbin that the world is watching! I also submitted an email through a system that delivers it to ALL 50 alderpersons on the Chicago City Council about going after police officers who assisted ICE in violation of our Welcoming law! We (taxpayers) lose tremendous $$ in payouts due to police violations of people’s rights. No police officers who side with a Felon and seditionist like trump belong in any public service position.
Given the unrelenting dishonesty of the Trump regime, we should recognize that there is a glaring hole in the First Amendment. Lies are equally protected, and as the old saying goes, a lie makes it half ways around the world before the truth gets its shoes on. A public figure only risks consequences of lying when under oath, and Trump and his sycophants obviously take advantage of this loophole. Lies flow out of these people with each breath, but they become much more reticent when under oath.
Recall, for example, Trump’s behavior during his fraud trial in 2024. He never spoke in the courtroom, limiting himself to napping and passing gas, but the moment he stepped outside, he spewed lies nonstop to the gathered reporters. His lies were amplified while the emerging facts of the case were barely repeated outside the courtroom.
This needs to be corrected if and when we escaped this dark time. The public should have the right to sue public officials, media outlets and media figures and private citizens who make demonstrably false statements. Dominion sued NewsCorp for financial damages done by knowingly repeating Trump’s unfounded lies about their voting machines. Citizens should be equally entitled to seek damages from liars like Trump. Lord knows, this nation continues to suffer immensely as a result his mendacity.
2. Rubio defended Trump and his attempt to utilize the power of that act without actually saying so u t Duckworth caught him on it . A good Rep is Duckworth.
3. I think we need a No Kings Act across the country. California leads the way.
Hope there is a way to stop this madness in the government!
Supporting No Kings Day on line is my pleasure. And. once again. Gov. Newsom stepped up with his no B.S. response. An impressive role model. Go home, Marco. Stop embarrassing yourself.
Rubio? A day when anyone speaks truth to Rubio is a good one. The fact that a woman did it, makes it sweeter, since we know how the GOP feels about women who aren't "handmaidens."
"Transformative change, by its very nature, will never be easy. And we cannot depend on judges, lawmakers, or administrations to be catalysts. That's why we need people who are passionate enough to give with their hearts; grounded enough to lead with their heads; and courageous enough to take risks, fail, and never give up." — Tim Gill, founder of the Gill Foundation
Life Survival: Here's the brutal truth nobody tells you: the cavalry isn't coming. No politician, no court ruling, no viral tweet is going to save us. Change happens because ordinary people decide they're too fucking stubborn to quit. You don't need to be wealthy or connected or certain—you just need to keep showing up. Today, identify one small risk you've been avoiding. Make the call. Send the email. Have the conversation. Failure isn't the opposite of progress; it's the goddamn currency of it. Every movement that ever mattered was built by people who got knocked down, wiped the blood off their chins, and stood back up anyway.
Yes, I will be participating in Mar 28 protest! I favor defunding ICE, and impeaching both Noem AND Trump. And what about seizing voting records in Georgia. Since when do federal forces of any kind have the authority to meddle in state elections, ballots, etc? It’s shocking!!!
47 is still lying and whining about 2020. Who trusts the FBI anymore? Unfortunately all of our institutions have been decimated according to the game plan outlined by Proj2025 and Stephen Miller the white racist nationalist who pulls all the strings.
Marco doesn't stand a chance against Senator Duckworth. In fact, I don't think Marco stands for much of anything.
Sen. Duckworth takes no prisoners and will ask tough questions of Rubio and the other toadies for Donald. Sen. Duckworth wants them to account publicly for their misconduct.
His parents immigrated to the United States from Cuba because of the sadistic leadership there. Shame on the bootlicker/butt kisser Rubio.
Are his parents proud of him?

Agreed! To answer Scott's questions, 1) yes 2) putrid 3) absolutely!
To quote Prof. Robert Reich, "Trump lies as freely as he breathes", but I would amend that to
"...as freely as the rest of us breathe" cuz he is not breathing so freely now.
Agreed
I didn’t hear a peep about that Chicago protest until now. That’s awesome

Rubio meets the sole criterion for serving the Trump regime, that is, complete dishonesty
