That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

I’m signing SB 41 to lower health care costs for all Californians.

Alongside the 2025 budget and CalRx, this bill marks the most aggressive effort in the nation to drive down prescription drug prices, boost transparency, and ensure savings reach consumers and families.

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Elected Republicans are getting desperate. Their lies are getting more ridiculous. They’re now trying to discourage protest by claiming No Kings will be a hate rally with terrorists. Millions of Americans have the chance to demonstrate how wrong they are.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

My German grandmother, a war refugee, emigrated to Chicago. She learned how to speak English watching WGN.

When I visited we’d watch WGN every night. Never thought I’d see one of its producers brutalized & arrested by masked US govt thugs.

My mom & grandparents fled Germany bc of this same shit.

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.
