Google Maps has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" after Trump's executive order. And a new Republican bill would let Trump rename Greenland "Red, White and Blueland." Still no word on lowering the cost of groceries, however.

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.” THIS HAS TO STOP.

Illinoisans are going to pay the price for Donald Trump’s tariffs on our largest trading partners. Let's call it what it is: Trump’s Tax on Working Families. And when people lose jobs because of it, that's the biggest tax of all.
