Heater, an orange cat with BIG eyes, nestles herself in a sea of grey blankies.

Heater, an orange cat with BIG eyes, nestles herself in a sea of grey blankies.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time sheโ€™s happy, sheโ€™ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

Governor Pritzker speaks behind the podium as he announces Pasqal, a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, will establish their U.S. headquarters as a future tenant of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) on Chicagoโ€™s South Side.

Governor Pritzker speaks behind the podium as he announces Pasqal, a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, will establish their U.S. headquarters as a future tenant of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) on Chicagoโ€™s South Side.

Today, I'm announcing a new tenant to the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park.

Pasqal will accelerate the size, scope, and pace of our ambition โ€” including plans to scale their systems of computing power.

Inspiring confidence in the potential of our state and quantum.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I donโ€™t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain whatโ€™s going on.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

ICE. IS. ALWAYS. LYING.

Bodycam footage shows ICE agent taunting Marimar Martinez before shooting her 5x in Chicagoโ€™s Brighton Park, contradicting federal claims that she drove toward officers.

The footage blows apart DHSโ€™s fabricated story about the shooting.

Between the hidden Epstein files, Comey's political indictment and the militarisation of Democratic cities, the American rule of law is faltering. AG Bondi, supposed to embody impartial justice, is swept away in a storm threatening the last vestiges of judicial independence.
