In this moment when antisemitism has reached a new high, this is outrageous behavior. At a Presidential rally no less.

Donald Trump should condemn it. And Elon Musk owes our country an apology.

Nearly 2 million Illinoisans will now be able to file their taxes through IRS Direct File - for free!

This tool will no doubt put money typically spent on tax preparation services back into the pockets of hardworking families across our state.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
