Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Most of the politicians on this list are from states where abortion is and will remain legal. If the issue meant so much to them, they’d be working behind the scenes with their colleagues from states where abortion is restricted to help change the law in those states. Of course that isn’t their real goal, their goal is to get their faces on news and use the videos and photos for fundraising.

Did they use transparent handcuffs on her also?
hope she stays there longer than the Jan 6th people
