It’s unthinkable that SNAP benefits might be denied to millions of children, not to speak of their parents and the disabled.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Lindsey Halligan likely to end up with disciplinary problems before this year is over - she is completely out of her element and is committing ethical violations that will not go without review.

Trump Can't Scare Us A thought for Halloween.

86 - 47 !!!

N.C. just approved up to a 36% rate increase nobody asked for.
I wonder who on the PSC got paid for this?

Springfield is entitled to absolute tort immunity by statute even though the damages suffered by injured plaintiff might not be covered by auto insurance who struck a downed pole in a roadway. Unfortunate, but this was a just conclusion.

Legal Malpractice is tough to prove. Multiple elements were not met here, and defendant was properly granted summary judgment. As an aside, Bob Levenfeld, senior partner of firm representing Plaintiff was my practice associate 40+ years ago.

Injustice righted! Defendant gets an opportunity to present evidence even though he probably did violate a previously agreed court order. Everyone is entitled to a day in court, and defendant here will get his.

In my senior year of Loyola Law School I worked for the P/D. There were horrific abuses of power among detention employees. I'm glad to see this!

Resistance in the courts with thousands of lawsuits is part of the answer. We need to implore our former presidents to speak out about the outrage, especially so the ones from the GOP.

Truscott is right - we can’t take the bait from the TACO.

🤬🤬🤬🤬. People like that woman give all white women a bad name. Knock it OFF. It’s not “innocent“ and you KNOW IT.

I guess it's a barometer of what it is that ICE is seeking.

Precisely!

Precisely! SNAP benefits cancelled assures the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children and deprivation of nourishment for millions more.

The world seems insane to me at times.

You all should take this seriously. The murders that have taken place over the course of the past month on the high seas signal a likelihood that the Trump thugs will turn their attention to U.S. citizens they don't like.

Group Of Jewish Children Threatened, Targeted With Gel Pellets At Skokie Park The Skokie community was shaken by reports of a group of Jewish children between the ages of 12 to 14 who were attacked at a local park.

Troubling article to me as a Jew living nearby Skokie, a town that still has tens of thousands of holocaust survivors and their children. There are 300,000 Jews in the Chicago Metro area.
