My Gov!
At a time when other politicians attempted to distort the truth and disrupt our state, we stayed true to the virtues of the Land of Lincoln.
As long as I'm governor, Illinois will uphold our Midwestern and American values — by treating people with dignity, respect, and fairness.

I hope that changes the season around.
Sad news…Pope Leo XIV is a White Sox fan, not a Cubs fan.
His brother just confirmed this in a new interview from the TV room in his suburban Chicago home.

Scientists have created a broadly effective antivenom using the blood of a Wisconsin man who has spent years exposing himself to deadly snakebites from black mambas, taipans, cobras and many others.
He let snakes bite him some 200 times to create a better snakebite antivenom

Rights of due process don't depend on our personal opinions of the accused. For example, I regard the January 6, 2021, criminals as insurrectionists and traitors - yet I am still glad that each and every one of them got a proper trial before they were convicted and sentenced.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.
