Oh, I get it! When 16-year-olds get their drivers licenses, they should also buy houses. That way, when they reach Medicare age, they can retire with health insurance (maybe) and no house payments!
$2,000 tariff rebate checks? 50-year mortgages? Making sense of Trump's new 'affordability' proposals.
Ever since Democrats swept the Nov. 4 elections, the president has been trying to regain his footing on cost-of-living issues.

We don't have oceans and Great Lakes in my sliver of the Midwest, but we do have ''America's River.'' Find a spot to get a good look before #Fall slips away.

I poked my head through the hatch at the top of the #GatewayArch 10 years ago for @stlpublicradio.bsky.social when this magnificent monument turned 50. The #stl sky at 630 feet up was rainy, windy & beautiful. I like to think my fingerprints are still up there ... Happy 60th!

The guys who built the #GatewayArch had nerves of stainless steel. I had the honor of talking to them through the years for #stl media. Here's what they had to say 10 years ago, on the 50th anniversary, for @stlpublicradio.bsky.social.
Builders of the Gateway Arch say it was a monumental task — and an honor

I reported a bunch of stories for @stlpublicradio.bsky.social when the #GatewayArch turned 50, ten years ago, including this interview with legendary activist Percy Green. Back in the day, we used to say that "Journalists Write History Daily." I still think that's true. #stl

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.

What are the costs of deploying the National Guard?
This guy knows. He commanded the IL Natl Guard during the Iraq War when thousands of citizen soldiers answered the call.
Seriously, this video is worth your time ... and please share it.

And that Union Army officer's hat ... More than 20,000 soldiers from Chicago fought for the Union, joining thousands from Illinois who wore the Union uniform. 35,000 Illinois soldiers died defending this nation against rebels whose Confederate flag is now revered by many in the MAGA camp.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
