Adults Are Going to Sleep-away Camp to Make Friends. It Seems to Actually Work. Overnight camps are increasingly catering to solo travelers who are looking for in person connection.

Overnight camp has long been a way for kids to disconnect, play and make the kind of friends that stick with you for life. Grown-up sleepaway camps prove that adults are looking for the same experience.

"Why would we turn the US military against American cities when we have police officers and law enforcement officials whose job it is? I understand that crime is a major issue, but it's not the military's job to be able to do that. We have law enforcement whose job it is to counteract crime."

Inflation is rising.
Unemployment is up.
Rents are up.

This administration is failing on its promises and actively making everything worse.

Newsom urges Illinois, NY to hurry up on redistricting (The Hill) California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Tuesday urged Illinois and New York to press ahead with redistricting efforts as GOP lawmakers push to pick up five addit...

YES YES YES don't wait to see what happens. Our democracy is on the line. We fight back now or we have a civil war later if we're not all in concentration camps.

Gavin Newsom plans to redraw Californiaโ€™s congressional map to favor Democrats in the 2026 midterms, countering Republican gerrymandering backing Trump. This move signals a defense of democracy, challenges Trumpโ€™s long-term influence, and could reshape state and national politics significantly.

Trump accepted a $400M luxury jet from Qatar.

But for Trump to use the plane, it has to be secure.

What will it cost to modify and take the plane apart? At least $1 BILLION from taxpayers.

Trumpโ€™s hiding that by using funds from one of our nuclear programs.

Iโ€™m pushing back.

Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."

JB Pritzker: Blocking arms sales sends Israel โ€˜the right kind of messageโ€™ The Illinois Democrat said he backed the Senate bid to halt Israel arms sales to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over Gaza crisis.

Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahuโ€™s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room:

The Trump administration is not setting the course for a four-year term.

The Trump administration is setting the course for an everlasting dictatorship.

If Americans donโ€™t want that, the window to stop them is closing quickly.
