This is really important. Both in the fact of IMLS reinstating grants. (Which have been *crucial* for libraries and civic life across the country. Notably in rural areas.)
And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.

IMLS announces "upon further review" that it is reinstating all federal grants to libraries. It leaves out that it's doing this because a federal court told them a few weeks ago that the Trump admin's decision to destroy libraries was not legal.

Cassidy is worse than a fool and he should have his medical license revoked for knowingly doing harm to the health of the American public.
When asked on Wednesday why the panel would target the Hep B vaccine, Cassidy said of Kennedy’s HHS: “The best I can tell is that they have a prejudice against science. That’s the best I can tell.”
Umm...thanks, Bill. Any thoughts on why we are in this mess?

And so it begins. Please remember (just like in Chicago, LA, and Charlotte) get organized and protect your communities. We’re already hearing that people are traveling to New Orleans to help, just as many did in Charlotte.

Aldermanic prerogative is one of the reasons Chicagoans can't have nice things like affordable housing and safe streets.
18th Street is a key access corridor for bicyclists and pedestrians, giving residents and visitors in the South Loop, Near South Side, Pilsen, etc. the only open access to the South Lakefront between Roosevelt Road and 31st Street (did I miss an access point?). chi.streetsblog.org/2025/11/21/a...

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This man is a walking PSA for what NOT to do. Fry turkeys in bare feet? Nope. Eat undercooked pork? Nope. Move random animal carcasses about the country? Nope. Undermine the nation's biomedical research, vaccination, and public health infrastructure? Nope, nope, and nope!
