Last year I was able to find seven Oregon Fawn lilies total. I gave up counting after I passed 70 yesterday and missed some for sure. Really love these but I have way too many foto options now.💚💚💚

On day one of my administration, I promised to get big things done for Illinoisans.

We've raised the minimum wage, guaranteed paid leave for workers, enshrined the right to choose, legalized adult-use cannabis, and rebuilt our infrastructure.

It's just the start.

BREAKING: Pope Francis Dies at 88. Here's How He Should Be Remembered The late pontiff was a progressive pope who was outspoken on Trump, Gaza, the climate, and more.

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.

Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.

Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.

See how this works?

TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE BRANCH CAN ACT UNILATERALLY OR WITHOUT OVERSIGHT

TO PROMOTE A MORE BALANCED AND EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT

As the judge said in his ruling: “The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders — especially by officials of a coordinate branch who have sworn an oath to uphold it.”

If the Administration ignores his ruling, he can hold them in contempt.

So, when traveling to a different state in the US, by land or air, would one need to carry their:
* US birth certificate,
* marriage certificate (if name is different from that on birth certificate),
* driver’s license/real ID, and
* passport to be safe from being detained?

Time for real accountability. Secretary Hegseth must resign, or be fired.

RFK Jr. is wrong about autism His lies endanger neurodivergent people — and everyone else.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."
