In Illinois, a bill called the RIFL Act would shift some of the financial burden of gun violence from victims and taxpayers back onto the industry that profits from the product. Think of it as workers’ comp, but for gun injuries and deaths.

Dr. Haynes is one to follow and definitely one to listen to…
During the Biden-Harris Admin measured actions were taken to protect the Red Sea. Int’l security requires maturity & experience to strike balance without escalating to “unrelenting strikes.” Houthis are a problem. However, at this pace, war is close.

f+elon has locked the doors of the department of education and there are armed guards keeping elected officials from entry. Where does the line get drawn by Republicans? When do they grow spines and take back the reigns of reasoned governing?

An undereducated populace benefits MAGA goals. Make no mistake, they don’t want you kids learning critical thinking, history, science… the list goes on and on.
They say cut the red tape, but they’re cutting are lifelines.
Shutting down the Dept of Ed isn’t just policy, it’s erasure.
Of opportunity.
Of accessibility.
Of hope.
This isn’t saving our kids.

Turns out we know dismantling government is a bad bet for our future.
Not so long ago Illinois had a Governor who believed firing government employees would help the state. It crushed our social services, healthcare, and schools, and took years to recover.

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

Um… well that’s disturbing.
It’s not entirely clear what the purpose of these raids is, but from the outside it appears that DOGE is mainly concerned at this point with amassing huge stores of data, from payment information to private personnel records. @mattbaidc.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

DOGE isn’t getting anywhere near $2 trillion in spending cuts. Here’s a plan that would.
