How is it that our elected officials can be so wrong so often? Take Senate Bill 100, introduced and passed as Public Act 99-0456 in 2015, which was intended to eliminate the so-called school-to-prison pipeline by eliminating the disparate discipline of minority students.

Dr. Judith Reisman, worked diligently to expose and counter the influence of Alfred Kinsey’s research on human sexuality, which shaped harmful cultural and legal changes. She demonstrated how Kinsey’s work, particularly his reports from the 1940s and 1950s, relied on flawed data, including studies of pedophiles and skewed samples, to promote a sexual revolution that normalized deviant behaviors.

Progressive Democrats Will Guzzardi, Kelly Cassidy, and Theresa Mah introduced House Bill 3518 on February 7, 2025. The 168-page bill, titled “Keeping Sex Workers Safe Act,” would legalize prostitution in this state, returning us to the late 19th and early 20th century standards. What would that look like?

On Tuesday, March 11th, State Representative Kelly Cassidy stood on the floor of the Illinois House to denounce Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Illinois Republican legislators who had spoken out against biological boys in girls' sports.

It is a mystery why any victim advocate would support HB 1302. The bill, sponsored by State Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago), amends four separate sections of Illinois’ criminal code. While framed as a progressive reform, several provisions risk undermining victim rights and enabling the abuse of the justice system.

There is no question that over the last 20 years, the internet has become integral to our daily lives. We depend on it. We use it to follow the news, to keep an eye on the weather, to find and order everything from guns to gum, to discover the best route for our travels, to come up with the best recipe for dinner, to show us how to replace brake pads.

We have a long tradition of honoring those in public service who sacrifice a big paycheck to serve the rest of us. Most have non-descript jobs, but our government could not function without them.
