After seeing a picture of Trump today, I’m now wondering if Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Lee Greenwood have started working on their rendition of, “Candle In The Wind?” 👀 🕯️🎶

Do not come, Donald Trump. You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.

So far, the worst part about being a new “empty nester” parent is the number of people that will remind you that you are now in fact, an empty nester… as if you were unaware. #GenX

What a difference one week makes! Here are a few of the swallowtail caterpillars (7) that I have eating, and growing like crazy. It’s almost time to put them in a larger habitat! #butterflywhisperer #EasternBlackSwallowtail #entomology

Jeffries: "The use of military force which is offensive in nature must be approved by the House and Senate. That's according to the Constitution. It's not optional, Donald. It's not ... Donald Trump and the administration chose to ignore the Constitution."

Pharmacy benefit managers’ business practices have operated with little regulation, transparency, and accountability for far too long. Illinois is putting an end to that and leading the nation in bringing transparency to PBM drug pricing.

Good morning and happy Monday, Bluesky friends! Sharing my heirloom German Bearded Irises that are in full bloom. The bulbs came over from Germany close to 200 years ago, with my MIL’s grandparents. The bulbs were transplanted from the original farm in WI to our yard in IL. They smell divine!

Pope Leo XIV, first ever American Pope was not on my 2025 Bingo card. An anti-Trump and liberal Pope that has the power to influence millions? This is Conclave, the sequel. 🍿
