I have a friend in that predicament. They told her she has to find her own commercial flight β€” in a closed airspace

You do a grave disservice lumping journalists into a single entity called β€œthe media.” The Knight-Ridder Washington Bureau reported early and often that Bush was leading US to war based on, at best, faulty intelligence.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Because:

1. We are unrelenting.

2. We know the mission.

3. We will complete it.

4. We’re on the right side of history.
