Illinois adopts American Academy of Pediatrics vaccine schedule, shunning federal recommendations
Illinoisโ adoption of the American Academy of Pediatricsโ childhood vaccine schedule is the latest example of Illinois breaking with the federal government over health care policies.
While Donald Trump and RFK Jr. push conspiracy theories over science, my administration is forging a path that puts our people first.
Illinois will adopt the American Academy of Pediatrics' vaccine schedule to keep families safe.

Weโre joined by Eliana Pinckney, daughter of the late Rev. Clementa Pinckney, to reflect on the Charleston massacreโs lasting impact and her fatherโs legacy of love, service, and civic duty. Eliana takes us back to being 11 and honors her motherโs quiet strength. She then talks about what itโs like to be part of the 9/11 generation shaped by gun violence, living with vigilance and exhaustion while โthoughts and prayersโ continue to replace policy. We also talk about civic education, performative politics, and how Eliana turns art into activism and community into change.

Maga definitely loves this stuff.
Though I'm reminded of a sea change that happened in Birmingham when the little girls were killed in the church bombing.
There was a certain tipping point with most people, where there was no way their conscience could tolerate it. Something went click.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down southโyou have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.
Next week is what will break you.

Hello, my name is [Your Name], and Iโm a constituent from [City, State]. Iโm calling to urge Senator [Name] to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution.
Congress, not the President, has the constitutional authority to declare war, and this resolution is essential to restoring that balance of power. We cannot allow unauthorized military actions to continue without congressional approval or oversight.
A โyesโ vote is a vote for accountability, diplomacy, and upholding the Constitution. Please let Senator [Name] know that their constituents expect them to support this resolution.
Thank you for taking my call.

Detailed marker illustration of a Javan Green Magpie, perched on a branch and looking downward.
Detailed watercolor painting of a pair of black terns participating in courtship feeding. The male is in flight and has a minnow in his beak, while the female is perched on a dead branch with her mouth open to receive it. Diffuse cattails are in the background, fading into blue sky.
Detailed watercolor painting of a wood thrush perched on a branch and singing. The bird is warm-brown on the back of its head and body, with a creamy white breast with black spots. The background is dark green with many shadows of branches, suggesting that the bird is deep in the woods.

The situation with animated GIFs and alt text is complicated on this website.
Let's start with the most basic thing to know:
the best practice approach to animated GIFs is the same as for other images (files ending in .gif, .jpg, .png, .bmp, .tiff, etc., butโimportantlyโnot video files).

Art by Gustav Klimt. Painting of a swamp.
The sjoufert is a fiery ghost in Flemish folklore who often appears near swamps. In one tale, people who lived near a swamp whistled at him. They fled into their house as the very angry ghost flew behind them. He left four paw prints on their door that never disappeared.

The moral of the story is that there are jobs for artists, real actual careers, a lot of them. If that is what you are good at, pursue it.

All of us had tried pursuing different fields (tech, publishing, manufacturing) because โeverybody knowsโ that being an artist isnโt a real job. And all of us realized that we were miserable and needed to do what we were good at insteadโฆ and we all succeeded!
