Her office in the Capitol is right across from MTG's, she's gotten into poo poo with her before. Including pissing her off by putting a trans pride flag outside her door.

She didn't do that to piss her off, she did it to show support for her trans daughter (and trans rights in general), and Greene countered by putting up an anti-trans sign, knowing she had a trans daughter. Shes' a loving pig and a ghoul and is absolutely going to attempt to stir poo poo and I hope someone knocks her teeth out.

U.S.
Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed for hanging anti-trans sign outside office in escalation of debate over Equality Act

By Caitlin O'Kane

February 25, 2021 / 1:15 PM / CBS News

Two members of Congress have taken the debate over the Equality Act out of the House chamber and into the hallway outside of their offices. After Rep. Marie Newman placed a transgender pride flag outside of her office, which is across from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's, Greene put up an anti-trans sign outside of her own, sparking backlash.

Okay, I do remember that being in the news about the flag.

Is Sean Casten related to Marie Newman at all, though? It looks like it was Casten's daughter that died. (For all I know, they're related though)

Oh, poo poo, I did. They are not related, they are running against each other though for the same House seat (they got redistricted to face off against each other).

Probably plenty, like she wished it was hers instead, because she's a sack of flies in a human suit. But I did conflate the two (in my defense they're running against each other and they keep mentioning them together in every news article).

anyone have any thoughts on Rachel Ventura for state senate?

Been getting a lot of campaign mail from Eric Mattson bashing her for daring to ask the council she sat on to vote for a pay raise for everyone on it. So I'm probably going to vote for her (I also like her platform on prioritizing climate change).

Assuming Fetterman wins against Dr Oz, leaving a Senate seat in PA vacant for VP of all things seems extremely ill advised.

Fetterman needs to prove he can live long enough to get elected.

I like JB as governor, which I can’t believe I’m saying, so I’d rather he not run for President.

as I read this I can't imagine who would keep our state from completely going to poo poo right now if it wasn't JB, and not sure many names come to mind.

I don't think so. He was backed by pretty much every progressive group in the state. He did have the issue of dropping Carlos Rameriz-Rosa from the ticket because he supported the BDS movement (essentially pro-Palestine).

Biss worked on Quinn's pension cuts with Madigan and Cullerton.

The unions used that as an excuse to line up with Pritzker even though he union busted.

He fumbled the poo poo out of this. Pawar seems pretty cool though.

I forgot the county had its own flag. The new one is good, but a little too close to the Chicago flag IMO.

Man, it is looking more like Bailey will win. Does Griffin come to support him like he is for Irvin or does Griffin hate Bailey that much for ruining his slate?

Also, I am still weary of the idea of Ds helping to get the worst people nominated on the R side. Dumb things happen and they can happen here too.

It was wasted money in the sense that Irvin isn't a threat to win.

Rs don't get to just chill in Chicago they actually have to interact with Central and Southern to have even a small chance of winning the state.
Rauner ruined that poo poo for them because he was such a uniquely bad politician that everyone in the state loving hated him even Republicans. I used to work as a courier for awhile and delivered to some really out of nowhere places. I was at some bar in Arcola and they were talking about hiring the Amish to drag the dude out of the state.

Its funny I got a lengthy text from one of the campaigns that linked to the Girl, I Guess voting guide, so apparently now that guide has enough juice that candidates are public about its endorsement.
