The Tribune reports that dozens of public officials are members of the Oath Keepers. Ben riffs. And former state Rep. Julie Hamos returns to talk about the upcoming elections to the Illinois Supreme Court. Specifically, why these should be top-of-the-ballot races as opposed to bottom-of-the-ballot ones. That's because the future of Illinois laws regarding environment, labor, guns, education, and abortion--especially abortion--is at stake. So you might say that if MAGA wins in the second and third supreme court districts, Illinois will transform from a Blue state to sort of the northern equivalent of Mississippi.
