"He has no empathy. He's an alien. And he wants to hurt this country. It's something deeply psychological in him. He wants to hurt people, he wants to hurt this country."

Happy Diwali, Illinois!

I hope that the Festival of Lights brings you peace during this time of celebration and reflection — that even in the darkest of days, the light of wisdom and unity will always triumph.

Millions of Americans use weed to treat chronic pain, but there's little high quality research on whether it works. New findings suggest it can be effective for low back pain, on par with opioids.

Americans have a clear message for Republicans who shut down our government:
CANCEL THE CUTS.
LOWER THE COSTS.
SAVE HEALTH CARE.

In Minnesota and states across the country, Americans are seeing their premiums more than double next year.

We can change that if Congressional Republicans work with us to extend the health care tax credits.

Gideon Lukens @gidlukens.bsky.social · 7d

Minnesota and Maryland also opened window shopping for 2026 ACA marketplace plans, and people are seeing their premiums spike due to expiring tax credit enhancements. A typical 60-year-old Minnesotan couple making $85,000 will face a $15,500 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)

Da Pope @deepdishpapa.bsky.social · 1d

God shows a preference for the poor: the Lord’s words of hope and liberation are addressed first of all to them. Therefore, even in their poverty or weakness, no one should feel abandoned. And if the Church wants to be Christ's Church, it must be a Church in which the poor have a privileged place.
