Born & raised in the Chicago suburbs, I grew up a Cubs fan. I came of age with Ryne Sandberg. He was a baseball player, plain & simple. Quiet, humble, respectful, worked hard. He was a ballplayer’s ballplayer. Beautiful tribute here to Ryno.👇

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

I would have LOVED to spend more time with my children when they were little, and I still would. But the reality is that many parents cannot afford to stay home with their children and not work.
Conservative opponents argue Missouri taxpayers should not incentivize parents to spend time away from their children.

Dear nurses, you are not the problem. You are not burned out because you lack resilience. You are burned out because of moral injury resulting from being understaffed, under resourced, and unprotected. We have the evidence and yet we keep researching resilience. It’s not your fault.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

Good morning and happy Saturday. Ordering 30,000 real eggs to waste rolling down the lawn of the White House on a Christian holiday, during an egg shortage, after promising to lower the price of eggs, is the peak analogy of this administration. He spits in their faces and they moisturize with it.

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?

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.
