Trump admin eyes Washington University and Barnes Jewish Hospital in St Louis for funding cut for DEI practices. That’s where my husband gets cancer treatment, and my daughter works in the bone marrow transplant unit!

Illinois stands up for the hard-won advances made for workers.
The Pullman Strikes. The Haymarket Affair. It has been the people of this state who have led the charge for progress, not just for Illinois, but for the nation.
We are ready to do it again — whatever it takes.

Our hair should have been on fire the minute a former one term former National Guard with a propaganda TV career and a history of domestic abuse and sexual assault AND an active drinking problem took over the entire US military. The Congressional GOP has a lot to answer for.

Bernie’s instincts for deeply normie-style politics like this are really under appreciated. His term as Mayor had a lot to do with it, I think. But for all his ideological zeal, he does a ton of very basic stuff like this. You really can’t have one without the other.
I was pleased to meet air traffic controllers from Vermont today. Whether you’re flying from BTV or one of our state’s regional airports, these are some of the people keeping you safe.
Let me thank the air controllers for the difficult and important work they do.
