Democrat Juliana Stratton

Democrat Juliana Stratton

My 2026 Democratic primary thesis remains the same:

In toss-up races, support the best Dem who can win the general.

In Safe D races, support the best Dem who can win the primary.

As such, I’m asking Illinois Dems to please vote for JULIANA STRATTON for Senate.

These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Sunny is free. We are so glad that she is with family and on the way home. Sunny and her 5 coworkers were taken to Broadview and then moved to Juneau, Wisconsin where they were finally released from ICE custody. We were lied to the entire time about her location. DHS needs to answer for this.

I 100% believe that he knows he’s dying & a holy war is a shot at salvation with the benefit of destroying a world that would very unfairly dare to continue existing without him.

We are witnessing the most selfish actions ever known. Historically, executions, not flowers, are the only apology.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Staffer: Sir, good news. One of the F-15 pilots ejected safely and is on the ground. Calm and cool under pressure. Badass aura. A video taken by a thankful Kuwaiti civilian is going viral.

Hegseth: Fuck yeah. What's his name?

The old Challenge windmill factory along the Fox River in Illinois.  It is a large 3 story factory building made from limestone blocks, next to a crumbling dam.  There is a large 5 story chimney with the word 'Challenge' in dark brick standing next to it.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

Stop pre-negotiating. Stop telling voters they have to sacrifice minorities and the marginalized to have a chance of winning. Stop telling voters to settle, to not ask for everything, to be reasonable. Don't be reasonable. Demand the world. The world belongs to us. They don't have more right to it.

And this will continue to happen because of the final sentence:

Ken, all due respect, it's not the economy it's the fucking fascism and fragile state of our democracy that concerns us.

I, for one, cannot wait for her to replace milquetoast Dick Durbin.

She's running to replace Dick Durbin and, uh, to say this is a welcome change in tone and attitude would be a hell of an understatement.

John Roberts has somehow created a regal impunity, in a republic nonetheless influenced by British common law, stronger than that enjoyed by the British royals themselves. In-f’ing-credible.
