All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.

We were heartbroken to learn of Dr. Jane Goodall's passing. She changed the way we understand animals and has inspired millions, including each of us on Team MUTTS.

Thank you, Jane, for being a bright light, an incredible role model, and the embodiment of humanity's connection to the natural world.

Soooooo.... now the effed up government is airing commercials during MNF here in Chicago trying to lure Chicago cops into leaving the force and joining ICE and getting 50k and student loan forgiveness in return (to start). Just wow.

Did you know? Fostering can exponentially increase a pet's chance of being adopted. Outside of the shelter, pets can decompress, let their true personality shine, and improve their social skills! Not only that, it can clear a space in the shelter for another pet in need of being rescued.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

I don't want a $5K "DOGE dividend" funded by our tax dollars stolen away from USAID, the EPA, and all of the other places Elmo shouldn't have had even close to remote access to.

At this point I wouldn't care if Illinois cedes from the union. We can self-fund off of our pot profits. Happy ❤️ Day, all!

Treasury Department officials admitted today that the agency “mistakenly” and “briefly” gave a member of Musk’s DOGE team the power to alter a sensitive federal payments database. The disclosure undercuts the Trump administration’s repeated claims that access was limited to a “read-only” basis.

I’m so pleased to welcome the Aspen Ideas: Climate Conference to Chicago.

Our state is a proud leader in the Midwest in fighting climate change, and Chicago is the perfect place to host such an important gathering.

With all of the chaos of the last 3 weeks, this has been the one thing that has made me feel safe. Love my Gov.!
On the day after the election, I made a promise to the people of Illinois: when it comes to threats to our freedom, health, or security, if you come for my people, you come through me.
