And so begins another likely recession under a Republican president. Literally every Republican president in my lifetime has inherited a strong economy and overseen a recession.

A friend’s daughter found her as a puppy in a ditch in Texas. Turns out, someone dumped several from the same litter. I live in Illinois, but when I saw her pit tire, I knew she was mine.
No idea what breed but we’ve guessed GSD and golden retriever.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass

Gonna start a JB Pritzker fan club.
I know these are challenging times — and the Trump administration is trying to confuse the American people.
That’s why it’s so important we speak plainly: Donald Trump is incompetent.

The idea that Donald Jezebel Trump is blaming DEI…in aviation…for the accident is all the proof I need to know that he knows nothing about aviation.

Trump fired the head of the FAA based on Elon Musk being mad about fines for safety violations.
So the guy was committed to safety...they fired that guy... now we have an almost impossible mid-air plane crash.
Do you know how hard it is to make two things meet in
3 dimensional space by accident?

Illinois is officially another step in the right direction toward our goal of universal pre-k.
Today, I'm proud to announce that, in just two years of Smart Start Illinois, we’ve created more than 11,000 new publicly funded pre-k seats in underserved areas across the state.

A while back, I started buying James Dobson books from thrift stores to get them off the shelves and (hopefully) keep kids from experiencing Dobson style parenting.
I eventually starting cutting them up and turning them into flowers.
I painted the last ones.
Very nonbinary. Feels right.
