Governor Pritzker speaks at the Celebration of Life for Reverend Jackson.

Governor Pritzker speaks at the Celebration of Life for Reverend Jackson.

Reverend Jackson will live on.

In his family.
In the countless lives that he touched.
In the public servants, elected officials, and leaders that have walked in the path that he set.
In the kinder, more just world that his advocacy built.

May his memory be a blessing to us all.

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

Bill Clinton gets emotional when talking about his friendship with Rev. Jesse Jackson at the memorial service:

"I'm here more as a friend than a former president. He was my friend when I needed it. And I ask you to ask yourself how you can do more by being a better friend and a more effective one."

We shall not see the likes of the great Reverend Jesse Jackson again. He leaves us with a legacy our state will never forget.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Are Having a Hard Time Getting Help From the State Department β€œPlease do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

Americans in the Middle East calling the U.S. State Department hotline after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Americans to contact it were hearing an automated message saying, β€œPlease do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Hillary Clinton: This institutional failure is designed to protect 1 political party & one public official, rather than to seek truth & justice for the victims & survivors.

All they do is bullshit, create chaos, & start wars.

Will AI become smarter than humans?

If so, is humanity in danger?

I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading AI experts that question.

I just voted yes on the war powers resolution to rein in this President. Trump promised no new wars in the Middle East, and now we're in one with no plan and no end in sight.

AOC: It’s beyond just the American service members who have tragically died in this, and our hearts do go out in prayer to their families, but also the over 100 Iranian schoolgirls who have been killed in these attacks, and the countless people who are affected, possibly displaced as well.

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.

These American Service Members Have Died in the Iran Conflict

My condolences to our fallen troops, those wounded, and their families.

Americans are stranded abroad β€” we all have a responsibility to do everything in our power to safely get them home.

The federal government must immediately provide clear evacuation guidance and plans to leave the region.

I’m calling on the State Department to take action now.
