Here in Illinois, we don’t hide from the truth. We embrace our history, all of it. I was proud to join my fellow governors earlier this month in demanding our textbook publishers stand strong against pressure for censorship in our schools.

Talking about why I have considered leaving my dream job, even after 21 years, hoping that my story will bring more awareness to some things that need to change before there aren’t any teachers left.

"Never under estimate a public school teacher." — Tim Walz

40 out of 44 former Trump cabinet members will not endorse him again. A second Trump administration will be filled with what is left of the worst MAGA criminals, loonies, frauds, and weirdos.

You may not be a union member, but thank unions for the five-day workweek. You may not be a union member, but thank unions for the eight-hour workday. You may not be a union member, but thank unions for sick leave, paid family leave, and vacation time.

Brennan: "Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio, does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status." JD Vance: "The rules were that you guys weren't going to fact-check."

Trump spent his entire presidency trying to end Obamacare. He never improved it, never had a replacement for it and - thanks to every democrat and one republican senator - never ended it.

Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking go‼️🙌🌊🇺🇸

BREAKING: For the first time ever, President Obama reveals that he handed over a detailed playbook on how to deal with pandemics, and Trump ignored it. "400,000 people would've been alive if Donald Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him."
