Majestic Monday. This evening's sunset in Chicago.

Excited to share some good news for Illinois families — we’ve reached over 100,000 children in our state receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Let’s keep reading.

Oh, the best people….

Vouchers and charter schools leave so many children behind. Rural communities bus kids miles to school every day. Do you really think charter schools are going to open up in rural parts of states?

The Chicago Bridge Lifts resume this week for the 2026 boating season. First day is Wednesday.

And the idea of industries policing themselves is a load of shite

Trump’s appointees and Republicans that approved them have made the US weaker and more vulnerable. In the coming years we will see more attacks on the US, domestic and foreign. The Republicans will scream “It’s the Democrats fault!” And voters will, once again, believe them

The Bloggess is at it again letting me know that depression lies and I am not alone.

MTG should not be taken seriously.

Pope Leo grew up around Chicago. He takes his religion seriously and takes no shit from anyone

Ewwww!

Are Trump's tariffs really dead? Here's what's happening behind the scenes Importers of European cheese, a sleeping bag company for infants and a ceramics business are pushing for and against potential new tariffs.

A reminder that when Donald Trump threatens tariffs, he's threatening a tax on working families.

He already owes Illinoisans $8,679,261,600 from his last round — and now he's waiting to throw in more to the pot.

DACA is the bogeyman to Republicans.

Make him stop!

My mother died of pancreatic cancer. She gave so much money to evangelical preachers when this would have helped. Science over religion every day all day. Shame on RFK Jr. If he had it, he would want this vaccine and get it too because he’s rich

I am glad that you, as my Senator that I voted for, are retiring. Respect, bipartisanship and decorum do not exist in the Republican Party anymore. The Democratic Party needs hardcore fighters that do not fall for Republican lies.

Wrong animals with that mushroom. It should be reindeer. Interesting fact, those mushrooms are hallucinogenic and toxic to people but not reindeer. People would drink the reindeer’s urine to get high. Where do you think flying reindeer came from?

Should of extended the word so we all know it was sarcasm

I’m seeing people profiting off this war. Stock and oil prices rise and fall on Trump’s word. I’m not profiting, I’m paying more for gas. I don’t see prices dropping anytime soon. Of fact, I’m afraid prices will stay high

But yet, Joe Rogan was in the Oval Office standing behind Trump. I don’t think he is losing their support

959pm on Friday, Lightning scatters across the Gold Coast and taps the Hancock in Chicago.

Trump has no idea that depression is an ongoing battle, day after day. It takes work to manage so we can live a happy life. Depression doesn’t care if you have no time for it, it will make you take the time.
Once again, Trump is dismissive of people’s struggles.

But Brooke Rollins said this was a nutritious meal that costs around 3 dollars. I guess the US Navy is following the recommendation of the Ag Secretary

Friday Fog. This morning in Chicago's South Loop at sunrise.

Kids are finding their parents’ stashes of cds, vhs tapes and cassettes. Ready made materials that aren’t subscriptions, no ads, no interruptions by texts. Win-win

New Lenox police are investigating an unfounded bomb threat against the home of Pope Leo XIV’s brother, John Prevost.

One where Trump lives and the rest of us die from nuclear winter
