If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

It kinda hurt my feelings to learn that some family members don’t want to know about my weaknesses and struggles because it taints their perception of me.

They like seeing me as an inspiration. They don’t want to see me down. But that perception of me is exactly what makes me feel so unseen.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

So, Youtube has paid Trump 24.5 million to settle. Oh…and as part of that settlement…Noel Casler’s podcast can no longer be watched on Youtube. They are buying up media at an accelerated rate of speed…to silence dissent. Notice, however…Trump never threatens to sue Noel. Noel has THE receipts.

Pineapple Man Is Finally Getting the Recognition He Deserves at the State Fair of Texas It only took Binh Tran twenty-plus years to become a Big Tex finalist.

As the State Fair of Texas kicks into high gear, Binh Tran will be up early every morning driving around the Dallas metroplex in search of coconuts.

This year—after years of trying—his coconut-pineapple slushie is a Big Tex Choice Awards finalist.

My sister asked me if I ever get tired of writing about politics.

"No. Because I write about freedom. That's the lens I see it through...and I am more inspired each day...than I was the day before. I find politics boring. Freedom...is endelessly invigorating."

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

The only reason we don’t have Medicare for all is because “all” included Black people.

Texas could bear the brunt of expiring ACA tax credits. Is the GOP delegation willing to make a deal? Democrats in Congress want to renew the Obamacare subsidies as part of any deal to reopen the government. Texas Republicans say the policy needs major reforms.

If the ACA subsidies expire, the impact will be felt disproportionately in Texas, where insurers have already requested premium hikes and health policy organizations project hundreds of thousands of people, if not over a million, will end up dropping their insurance coverage.

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.
