Make no mistake: Illinois is leading the nation in strengthening women’s health care. With the passage of HB 3637, we are expanding the ways we shield our providers from punishment for delivering life-saving health care. We are not going back.

Some positive news for Ishiba as the pension reform bill advances, cheap rice hits the shelves, and trade talks continue. All of this and more in a new This Week in Japanese Politics. open.substack.com/pub/observin...

Elon Musk is clean and sober, according to reputable source Elon Musk. Case closed.

Is this some kind of joke?

This kind of administrative sloppiness at ICE is *way* too common. Data entries are wrong, required procedures and welfare checks are skipped, and mistakes get made because corners are being cut. It’s happening even more with the White House screaming for ever-higher numbers.

So with regards to weird pervert Ross Douthat, I do not in fact “gotta hand it to him,” but I do wonder if some bit of Trump’s strength with the media especially comes from (1) Trump doing a bad thing and (3) things not turning out as bad as feared, because everyone forgets (2) he pulled back on it.

a lot of people have showed up so far, thank the gods 💜

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

“The slow, patient construction of a 6-3 Supreme Court, and its associated body of jurisprudence seems irrelevant to a party that sees no value in expertise, or need to defer to those who respect it.” www.programmablemutter.com/p/the-federa...

i have begun to use “wicked” to describe these people. it is old fashioned but captures the active nature of their malevolence. they are *agents* of evil

he’s running (and i would rank him pretty high)

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

KPBS has reporting on the ICE raids at a restaurant in San Diego: www.kpbs.org/news/border-...

This is a nice restaurant in an affluent white neighborhood. They threw flash bangs at the crowd, handcuffed the manager, didn’t even find anyone they were looking for, but still took two people because they didn’t have ID.

It’s weird learning about the limits of AI through the trash RFK puts out.

A three-year-old brought me a bit of black paper. "Look", she said, "I found a piece of night!" We're all born poets, but slowly we forget.

we are having an event sponsored by freshpet at the shelter...all animals 5 months and up are freeeeeee (i really hope some of the longer stay dogs find homes today 🙏)

I can't wait for Marco Rubio to add this anecdote to his standard story about how his family fled Cuba to find freedom in the USA.

current status: singing all cried out by lisa lisa in my car waiting for the shelter to open

Someone should set up a phone line to contact if you were helped in some way by an immigrant. I bet it would get a lot more calls than this ridiculous and offensive ICE line.

Breaking News: The CDC kept Covid shots on an updated vaccination schedule for children, days after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said they would be taken off.

There are pretty strict laws for govt contractors and security clearance holders abt drug use. For some recreational drug use those laws are probably outdated. But there are pretty good reasons you wouldn't want a full on junkie in those kinds of positions.

Couldn’t help but notice that neither the Times or Post have a story up about Trump saying he’s not sorry that Joe Biden has cancer. I guess that’s just Trump being Trump ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is pretty insulting to my autistic son imo

Wait... what?

One of the many reasons why I don't think creating a pronatal culture or whatever is in their wheelhouse.

not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson

🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase. Breastfeeding moms would drop from $54 → $13 Young kids: $27 → $10 These cuts jeopardize early nutrition. Read the full NWA statement:
