* The Boat Drink Caucus band performed at the Dave Caucus party last night at Boone’s. The crowd was huge, the music was actually pretty darned good and the beer was cold. Band guitarist Senate President Don Harmon posed for a pic during a break with House Republican Leader Tony McCombie. The pic was taken by one of the party hosts. Note the “Doom Grifter” shirt that was all the rage shortly after Gov. Pritzker coined the phrase during his 2024 State of the State/Budget address. Heh…

I do not know what I was thinking when I posted this. These sorts of Harmon posts are absolute comment killers.

The Boat Drink Caucus was rocking and the large crowd was very engaged.
The Dave Caucus event was terrific on all fronts.

Don’t worry Tony, I’ll find a way to strip the abortion coverage out of HB 5142. I know your caucus doesn’t like it either.
