As excruciatingly slow the wheels of justice turn, it seems like our judicial branch is at least trying to hold the line on Trump's march toward a police state.

Elections matter, but election years matter more. GOP leaders approved nice increase to SPED last year prior to an election & then pulled back this year, after the election. Kansas Legislature turns cold shoulder to child reading program after less than one year kansasreflector.com/2025/04/24/k...

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

"The real reason for (Sen. Renee Erickson's) delay became clear: the portal was a repository for criticism of the supermajority’s legislative agenda, and it was in the supermajority’s interest to keep that fact from the public for as long as possible" #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/04/23/k...

If Pete Hegseth were a real man: a man of dignity, strength, and honesty, he would admit he is not qualified for this position and never belonged here in the first place. Since he is none of those things, he will willingly place the courageous members of our Military and our nation in harm's way.

RFK Jr. didn’t just misspeak — he revealed the lazy cruelty of a man too arrogant to learn and too ignorant to care. When you erase the achievements of autistic people to score a cheap point, you’re not unfiltered — you’re just unfit.

Whether you agree with Trump trying to claw back funds from schools or not, this is what kills me: "McMahon’s letter “amend[ed] the period of liquidation to end on March 28, 2025, at 5:00pm ET,” the same day the letter was sent, giving states and school districts no time to make any adjustments."

SS works for everyone all the time. SS supported my parents so I could devote my earnings to my kids; SS supports me, so my kids don’t have to. SS benefits spent in community, which supports jobs & local economies. Even if you’re not currently getting benefits, SS works for you

This behavior by our president should be a page 1 story in every paper in America. Christians should be demanding he apologize for using their holiest of days to spread such venom. Can you imagine any other elected official saying this? He has he brought us so far down.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

My wife, who was a special education para for about 15 years, was watching Kennedy say this last night, and after every sentence, she yelled at the TV, "Liar. Liar. Liar ...

Still fuming about that press conference. The way RFK Jr. talks about autism is not just scientifically wrong—it’s deeply offensive. Calling autistic kids "damaged" or implying they’ve been "lost" or "stolen" doesn’t just spread misinformation—it dehumanizes real people.
