Demonstrators gather outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington April 18 as the justices hear oral arguments in a challenge by several states to President Barack Obama's deferred deportation programs. (CNS photo/Tyler Orsburn) See SCOTUS-ARGUMENTS-DACA-DAPA April 18, 2016.

A young Korean who emigrated legally to the US at age 9 is facing deportation because she turned 18 and is being denied a green card by the Trump administration. She will not be able to finish high school with her class … her plan was to become a surgical oncologist but now she has to go to Canada for her senior year without her mom. Note: she has never lived here without proper documentation! She will have to pay tuition for high school there and won’t be able to complete all of the AP classes due to additional requirements of classes like Canadian history. She would have had no problem under the Obama administration. She has been to 3 lawyers without any luck. This just makes my blood boil! Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Dan Biss is the most exciting candidate for Illinois Governor by far in a field of 6 democrats. He is currently surging in the polls as people get to know him and his positions. Although he has been in the state legislature as my rep and now my senator, he doesn't have the support of traditional Dems. He is a middle class guy running against JB Pritzker and Chris Kennedy who have no legislative experience . Pritzker has already put 49 million dollars of his own cash into this primary campaign. Dan has a PhD from MIT and taught at the University of Chicago before entering politics. He is a true progressive … check out his site at danielbiss.com! He will also presumably be running against billionaire and Trump clone Bruce Rauner. I think billionaires have too much influence already… please consider giving a couple of bucks to the Biss campaign if you can!

Daniel Biss was my State Representative a few years ago. I was coaching a school Science Olympiad team and he heard that my team qualified for the Illinois State tournament and asked to come talk to the kids. He was genuine, caring and thoroughly interested in what the kids had to say. He has a PhD in math from MIT and his BA is from Harvard. He left his tenured teaching position at the University of Chicago to run for the Illinois legislature and also served as my Illinois Senator. Daniel is now running for governor against a crowded field in the Democratic primary including the wealthy JB Pritzker and Chris Kennedy. I, for one, am tired of the 1% having a leg up in politics...especially since Citizen’s United. Therefore, I am thoroughly excited about his candidacy. He is crisscrossing the state to meet people and has been at every anti-Trump march in the Chicago area among other locations. Illinois has many problems stemming from years of fiscal mismanagement and Daniel is the right person for the job.

The morning I was made aware of this White House petition to stay in the Paris accord. I signed and sent it on to many people and they sent it along as well. Low and behold tonight there are still the same number of signatures… only 18 which isn't possible. Is this f**ked up administration tampering with petitions? Thoughts?

Seriously, if he is found guilty, what happens then?

A possible solution if debate moderators abdicate fact checking...

HRC should not engage the orange Cheeto but simply hold up her index finger each time he lies. It will give the talking heads something to do and allow HRC to talk policy!

I have lived through more elections than I care to count but suffice it to say that the right wing corporate media has everyone’s undies in a knot! I certainly hope that you all can see that the Koch media is whipping up the democratic base in order to distract from the true villains on the other side. They know that in order to win elections, Democrats have to stay home. I plead with all of you not to play into their hands! There is too much at stake in this election...voting rights, economic fairness, the health of the entire planet, SCOTUS… the list is extensive. Remember that the daily news is designed for one purpose only: RATINGS. Whoever wins the primary must be fully and wholeheartedly supported in November by all of us. I have read a LOT and there is truly not much daylight between our 2 candidates on the issues...especially considering the other side. No matter who wins...VOTE!
