Our local grocery stores are the backbone of communities across the state. This latest round of funding from the Illinois Grocery Initiative keeps quality, affordable groceries close to home for Illinoisans while supporting small businesses across the state.

Trump and Hegseth are bumbling incompetents costing us a fortune daily while depleting our weapons and strategic oil reserves and making everything you buy more expensive because of $6 diesel.

You know who really did show up? Canadian police officers, firefighters, and medical personnel came to NYC, on and off duty, traveling independently or in groups to stand with Americans and help shoulder the enormous burden of recovery and cleanup at Ground Zero. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
