You probably recall Ajit Pai, Trump’s first FCC boss. Pai took a mindless hatchet to broadband consumer protection and media consolidation limits with no shortage of scandal.

Whenever you feel a headache coming on or you tweak your back, it’s common to reach into the medicine cabinet for a couple of acetaminophens (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). But does it matter which one you take? And is there anything wrong with taking both to fight off what ails you? Acetaminophen is an analgesic, which is a type of drug that reduces pain signals within your nervous system. It’s used to treat discomfort like headaches and joint pain, and to reduce fever. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is typically used to tackle issues such as back pain, menstrual cramps and toothaches. It also works to decrease fever. Sarah Sheley is a pharmacist with OSF HealthCare. She says it’s important to know that ibuprofen helps with inflammation and acetaminophen can’t do that. “The difference between the two is the fact that the ibuprofen, that anti-inflammatory component, reduces pain by affecting the production of certain
ROCKFORD – On behalf of the Diocese of Springfield and an Illinois pro-life pregnancy center, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys have filed a federal lawsuit challenging a state law that forces religious organizations to hire employees who violate their religious beliefs on reproductive issues like abortion. “Illinois can’t force pro-life religious organizations to bend their knee to the state’s secular view of abortion,” said ADF Senior Counsel Mark Lippelmann. “The Constitution protects the right of religious organizations to choose workers who will advance—rather than contradict—their religious beliefs. We urge the court to uphold these organizations’ fundamental right to serve their communities consistent with their faith.” The Diocese of Springfield affirms, proclaims, and strives to live out the teachings of the Catholic Church throughout the state of Illinois, including indispensable beliefs about reproduction,

ALTON - Chris Bell wants to see changes in Alton’s 5th Ward. In a recent conversation on “Our Daily Show!” with CJ Nasello , Bell, a candidate for 5th Ward alderman, explained his vision for the 5th Ward and the City of Alton. He wants to see improved streets and less “derelict” houses, which he believes will improve property values. “At the end of the day, I won’t give up on Ward 5 no matter what,” he said. “Being an Alton person all my entire life, I can guarantee you, I won’t give up on negotiating and putting every need of Ward 5 first. And then I will meet and help out with everybody else after that. But Ward 5 will be my first priority.” Bell works at Busch Stadium and with the Alton Community Unit School District #11.
