Disrespectful and insulting.

According to Donald Trump, nursing isn't a professional degree.

The bottom line? The entire nation, including Illinois, needs more nurses — this decision makes it even harder than ever for them to get the support they need.
Trump Administration Moves to Exclude Nursing From Professional Degrees, Set New Student Loan Limits
The proposal has drawn pushback from the nursing community, which argues the reclassification could limit students’ financial access to advanced nursing degrees.

I don’t have to tell you how bad it is. If you’re like me, you approach each day’s news with a knot in your stomach. The question I keep asking myself (and others) is how will this Trumpian daymare end? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-how-the-hell-will-this

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention? 

It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country.

A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

Illinois has gotten big things done to protect our people, from increasing the number of state police to banning assault weapons.

There's more to be done — it's time for Congressional Republicans to stop with the stunts and start working with us on solutions.

All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered — instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed.

This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms.

We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher.

I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

Glad the Trump Administration heard our calls about the importance of delivering federal funds for the Brandon Road Project and decided to finally meet their obligations to the State of Illinois and the Great Lakes region.
Feds say funding freed up for Great Lakes invasive carp project, though President Donald Trump and Gov. JB Pritzker still snipe at each other
Donald Trump reinforces funding available for Illinois project to contain invasive carp, allowing a stalled environmental project to proceed.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
