A Russian nesting doll of distraction.

Rx Needed for Peter Roskam’s Portrayal of Casten’s Healthcare Stand "Republicans have been complaining about the effects of Obamacare for years, but Roskam is taking some wild swings with this attack on Casten. There’s a lot here to unpack, so to keep it simple this fact-check focuses on the ad’s unsubstantiated healthcare claims." Check the facts. In other news... The Legal Side of "Roe v. Wade" Do you want to have a better understanding of one of the most contentious Supreme Court cases that's currently under attack by the Republicans? Take a look at this (mostly non-partisan) amateur analysis from me, the guy who writes these emails. Visit our website Jeffrey M. Jacobson For DuPage Judge "I have fought for those without the ability to fight for themselves." Meet the candidate. What's happening?

Tweet of the Week Follow us on twitter Some Thoughts... The hardest part about a reality TV star being president is that we forget to differentiate the two. The Presidency isn't a television series, even if Trump and the rest of the terrible people surrounding him treat it that way. Omarosa and her book don't matter. The tape of John Kelly firing Omarosa doesn't matter. Most importantly, the news segments that cover these events don't matter. One thing we've learned in the Age of Trump is that major news networks are really bad at resisting the bait. Here are some things that matter: The Trump administration's is systemically destroying affordable health care, Jeff Sessions is restarting the War on Drugs, North Korea is still working on nukes, Iran hates us and doesn't want to talk Flint still doesn't have clean water Trump's military parade will cost almost $100 million I know it's all so overwhelming, especially when you realize that the problems we know about are just the tip of the iceberg. But luckily, and I'll die on this hill, the beginning of the solution to all of these problems is the same. Knock Doors. Phone Bank. Get involved. Vote. Become a member.

The Swamp Drain is Plugged!

Rauner Drags His Feet While Immigrant Communities are Under Attack There are 5 bills sitting on Bruce Rauner's desk that could help the 1.8 million immigrants living in Illinois. Instead of, ya know, governing, he's kowtowing to Trump, who loves to attack our nation's immigrants. Read about the bills and Pritzker's response. Cooooooooool. In other news...

Tweet of the Week Follow us on twitter Some Thoughts... This week, Rep. Chris Collins (R) was charged with insider traiding, and a Forbes investigative report shows a pattern of heavy grifting from Sec. of Commerce Wilbur Ross. Both men were early supporters of Donald Trump. But some good stuff happened, too! Tuesday was primary and special election day in several states, with some exciting outcomes. There was a too-close-to-call special election in Ohio's 12th district between Republican Republican Troy Balderson, who has Trump's support, and Democrat Danny O'Connor. This district had a 14 point lean toward the Republican prior to the race. The fact that it is still this close shows that Democratic momentum is growing across the country, even in heavily red districts! Also on Tuesday, Missouri, a notoriously red state, voted down a right-to-work law that would've crippled a lot of private sector unions. You probably recognize the term "right-to-work" from a recent Supreme Court ruling on right-to-work laws for public-sector unions. Turns out that we currently don't have the power to stop the bad stuff (corruption, grifting, Russia, the general swampiness of the Republican party). But we do have the power to positively change things. How? Vote. Become a member.
