Bribing Trump, firing Colbert, and now bringing on Bari Weiss.

I'm not watching CBS News or reading CBS News articles. I'm not watching Paramount movies or shows. I am done with Paramount and CBS. They have sided with fascism, and we must side against them to preserve democracy. It's that simple.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment.

In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community.

You have a home here always.

Depending on what you mean by "foundational immigration law," it's not true that this system has existed over a millennia.

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.
