Wrongheaded move here. Just when this global disease had reached a point keeping it as a manageable condition. Cuts in treatment and access now will reverse progress. States Move to Limit Access to #HIV Treatment nytimes.com/2026/03/02/hea…

Hilary Knight of Team USA’s Women’s Hockey Team criticizes President Donald Trump’s disgusting joke. “The joke was distasteful and unfortunate...Now I have to sit in front of you...and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility."

@NFL_DovKleiman @Chicago_NFL #NorthwestIndiana IS #Chicago for God's sake, it is all a metropolis. The industrial belt of #Indiana was built as a part of the economic powerhouse of Chicago.
