Chicago is choosing justice over fear, as it has in the past
In 1850, the federal government deputized local officials to enforce slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, and it still is today.

Corporate health insurance is a scam.
Instead of cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid, Congress should tackle a *real* source of waste: the so-called “Medicare Advantage” program.

Home care worker from Central IL Jenny: Our nation’s veterans rely on Medicaid health care when their VA doesn’t cover it. I know how devastating cuts to home services would be. Loss of food and transportation. Voters want to see Medicaid protected not cut. Darin LaHood needs to hear our voices.

My new deep dive on how Trump “won” the popular vote.
I put “won” in quotes because it wasn’t his win, but Harris’s loss. The results were not a “swing right” embracing Trump/MAGA, but a vote of no confidence in Democrats (and in our system as a whole).
