You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

Like the meme-coin of the same name, DOGE isn’t real. It’s an Avatar not an Agency. Blurred and opaque; accountable to nobody & fueled by politics, DOGE gives one man, an unelected, extremely conflicted, unqualified & unstable foreign billionaire unilateral unfettered access to the US government.

I want to be clear: the private sector, as it presently exists, *cannot* quickly spin up to fill any void left by substantial dismantling of #NOAA. Full stop. If that were to happen, people would die in extreme weather events who would not have otherwise, & economy would suffer.

With a pause on tariffs for Mexico and now Canada as well granted moments ago, US motorists for now will avoid a potential impact to fuel prices. However, prices move for many reasons, and am still expecting prices to begin rising seasonally soon.

a golden retriever standing and resting his chin on a wood table. his front paws are also resting on it, almost like a hug. the sun is at a low angle and hits his eyes and golden fur perfectly. his eyes are also open wide, almost concerned but full of love.

This is Huxley. He hopes you're having a good day, but if not, he’s conveniently right here and an excellent listener. 14/10 (IG: hugoandursula)

No other state in the nation imports more goods to Canada than the Land of Lincoln, and Illinois is one of the Top 5 states in exports to both Canada and Mexico.

All together, Illinois exports support 800,000 jobs – jobs now at risk thanks to Trump’s Tax on Working Families.

If there is any doubt that tariffs are passed through to consumers, the cost of propane to heat my house just went up by the amount of the tariff

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

Arguably the biggest national security breach in U.S. history. Private employees downloading personnel data on every federal employee and tax and social security data on every American onto private unsecured servers. Needless to say, completely illegal and subject to major prison sentences.
