The president of our country can’t pronounce acetaminophen. Should someone ask him to spell it?
Trump once suggested that injecting bleach could help cure COVID.

RFK has a long, long history of peddling medical misinformation to enrich himself.

Dusted off this CD box set and listened to the introduction and reading by Studs Terkel from 2006. So relevant and helpful today. Funny how I don’t recall how divisive things were back then!

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

I get asked constantly -- from friends, family, random people I meet, from separate friends' parents in the last 24 hours -- how I report on politics, especially now, without giving in to despair and cynicism.

I credit Mr. Rogers.

Chicago performer’s Terrible Portrait drawings have become a hit.

Logan Square farmers market attendees are flocking to a table in the boulevard to have their portrait drawn by Jacob Ryan Reno for $5 — and he’s “bewildered” as to why.

Unfortunately this article has a pay wall, but I’m going to say this is fantastic and would love to see it happen!
Pharmacy benefit managers have helped drive local pharmacies out of business and increased the costs of your prescriptions.

I'm proud to say that's no longer the case here — we’re putting an end to their predatory practices.

The nation should follow suit.

A small number of these new cases are in appropriately vaccinated individuals, but the fact is they shouldn’t have even been exposed. We need EVERYONE possible to be immunized.

These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.
