My goal has been to make Illinois the best state to raise a family — that starts with kids having access to what they need so they can focus on learning and growing. Illinois was among the first states to implement SUN Bucks, and this year is no exception.

America’s aviation system is the gold standard for safety thanks to air traffic controllers who guide every flight, every day. It’s past time for bipartisan action to hire more controllers, upgrade outdated technology, and give them the tools they need to keep our skies safe.

Believe it or not, all three of these fish are the same species… the bluehead wrasse. Wrasses are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning they transition from female to male over the course of their lives. Each phase can look radically different from each other as evidenced here #coralcitycamera

RFK Jr. doesn’t want to eliminate chronic illness — he wants to eliminate the chronically ill. There’s a difference. One is healthcare. The other is eugenics.

1 year ago, we passed a bipartisan FAA reauthorization bill to add air traffic controllers, modernize technology, and replace systems that are unsafe and outdated. The problems at Newark Airport show how important these changes are, but they need to be implemented quickly & Congress must do more.

Chancellor Merz issued Moscow a 24 hour ultimatum. Putin ignored it. The result? The West has swallowed yet another humiliation. Total weakness. Humiliation invites more humiliation. Western nations are wearing a self-applied "Kick me" sign while talking to the Kremlin.

There is no moral center to this administration. He has given everyone around him, and everyone afraid of him, permission to step off any kind of ethical path. All bets are off. Anything is possible. There are no boundaries left on the inside. It's about time the press started covering it that way

Homan's grandfather and his father were cops. He was a cop. He has a degree in criminal justice. HE KNOWS HE'S BREAKING THE LAW. The excuse that he is following orders is bullshit. An unlawful order does not authorize him to break the law. Homan is culpable and one day will be held accountable.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.
