With the most recent departure of True Value Hardware headquarters, Illinois appears to be mimicking California's business-repellent formula, bolstering President Donald Trump's warnings to blue states that higher taxes equate to higher exits. "Job-producing people and companies are being forced to flee at levels never seen before. Remember, once people and companies leave, they are never coming back," Trump posted to his Truth Social account in April. True Value joins the ranks of other longtime Illinois companies like Boeing, Tyson Foods, Morton Salt and Caterpillar, the latter of which pointedly cautioned that the state's inability to balance the budget and lower taxes would drive out businesses.

Nick Shirley, the young man who has been putting “professional” journalists to shame with his on-site reporting on rampant Medicaid fraud, released another video exposing schemes in New York, these involving senior centers for elderly Koreans and Chinese. One that he visited, an adult day care in Flushing, claims to have nearly 8,000 members, for which it bills Medicaid $1,600 each. But even an employee admits that the number is wildly inflated. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz joined Shirley. “We uncovered over $190,000,000 in fraud,” Shirley says, “through adult and personal home care scams in NYC.

The ad features his step-grandparents, Judy and Jan Johnson, lauding his work as Wayne County health director. Absent from the spot was any mention of the candidate’s maternal half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, the self-described "queer Muslim activist" and professor in the Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago who has advocated for a "stateless, communized society" and called to abolish the police. Abdelhadi was arrested for allegedly spitting on an Illinois state trooper at an anti-ICE protest last year.

The American Federation of Teachers, a union that bankrolls Democrat candidates and left-leaning causes, endorsed “gender-affirming care” Sunday, despite growing concerns about the negative effects of experimental transgender medical interventions. While some Democrats and progressives have suggested the party should move away from its commitments to “woke” litmus tests such as transgender ideology, the AFT’s move arguably makes that more difficult. “Because the AFT is effectively just a branch—a wealthy branch—of the Democratic Party, the union’s latest endorsement of so-called gender-affirming care means the party will almost certainly maintain its rigid support for transgender ideology,
