The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Remember, Trump illegally ordered this impoundment of funds, but the GOP approved it after the fact in its rescission package. This is on them, too.

When we get a real president, I want Jackie’s rose garden restored. I want the Kennedy Center name put back. I want that $200M gold-plated ego chamber demolished. And I want the Saudi jet dropped in the water outside Mar-a-Lardo and turned into a nonstop immigrant welcome tour.

“”All they’ve done is recycle shopworn, discredited climate denier arguments…a deeply misleading antiscientific narrative, built on deceptive arguments, misrepresented datasets, and distortion of actual scientific understanding…dressed it up with dubious graphics...””
Several top climate scientists are weighing how to respond to a new climate report issued by the 47 administration that they are calling “deceptive,” “cherry-picked,” and “antiscientific.”
Climate Scientists Look to Fight Back Against DOE’s ‘Antiscientific,’ ‘Deceptive’ Climate Report - Inside Climate News
Climate scientist Michael Mann called the report “a deeply misleading antiscientific narrative, built on deceptive arguments, misrepresented datasets, and distortion of actual scientific understanding.”

The conversation around the Epstein Scandal is missing the point. Ryan Wiggins' latest column for Lincoln Square is a crucial reminder that our focus should be on the victims, their stories, and how we can prevent such a horror from ever happening again.

The Republican stance on the Epstein files is that they should be released, they don't exist, and if they do they should not be released, if Trump's name is on the list then its a hoax and if its not a hoax then pedophilia should be legal and Democrats on the list need to go to prison.

Why? Because he slashed their funding just for doing their job—which is political retaliation.

Blowing up billion dollar spacecraft to own the libs
The latest flight of SpaceX’s Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, got all the way up to space, but not all the way back down to Earth. The spacecraft sprang a propellant leak, causing it to break apart and scatter debris in the Indian Ocean. nyti.ms/4jkkRtH

I'll be a broken record on this: The GOP tax bill puts tax breaks for billionaires over health care for millions.
Premiums will skyrocket for middle-class families. Working people—and CHILDREN—will lose health care. Hospitals will close.

No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.
Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.
“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.
