HB2992 and SB2184

Psilocybin reform in Illinois is positioned as a therapeutic opportunity, but the key phrase to watch in these bills is “research-driven.” That shift tilts the playing field toward pharmaceutical and biotech control, rather than real access for legacy operators or independent therapists.
Both HB2992 and SB2184 justify psilocybin legalization through research. That sounds good scientific validation matters. But this isn’t just about proving psilocybin works; it’s about who controls the data, the market, and the licenses.
“Research-driven” means only approved studies count studies that require institutional backing, funding, and regulatory sign-offs. Who has access to that? Pharma, biotech, and major corporate players.
HB2992 sets up a pilot program, allowing limited, controlled access.
SB2184 creates a compassionate use model, but licensing and compliance costs will weed out smaller players before they can start.
The same barriers that blocked legacy cannabis operators are being written into psilocybin policy this time, hidden behind “research-based” language.
Biotech companies are already filing psilocybin patents globally, carving out proprietary versions of psychedelic therapy before laws are even in place.
Psilocybin-assisted therapy has existed for decades in underground, indigenous, and community-led spaces. These bills don’t legalize that they legalize controlled, corporate-backed access. The shift toward state-backed research gives pharma and biotech firms a regulatory advantage in shaping the market.
These bills mention equity, but legacy psychedelic practitioners, healers, and small businesses won’t be able to compete in a system designed for corporate-backed research. The term “pilot program” should be a red flag it allows selective access while large entities secure their foothold before a true market exists. I support a therapeutic model psilocybin that should benefit people. But calling this “research-driven” instead of “access-driven” shifts power to the same corporate players who monopolized cannabis.
If Illinois truly wanted an equitable, therapeutic market, it would prioritize trained facilitators, community access, and affordability. Instead, these bills favor corporate-backed institutions, clinical trials, and pharma-aligned access models.
Therapy isn’t the problem. The pathway they’ve chosen to get there is.
If you think psilocybin should be about real healing, not just corporate research, keep your eyes on these bills because the real game isn’t legalization.
It’s who gets to own the outcome.

HB1019

Liquor sales in Illinois are circling the drain. People are drinking less, and worse (for them), they’re switching to hemp, THC, and infused drinks that Big Booze doesn’t control. Instead of adapting, the liquor industry is throwing a tantrum and trying to drag not just hemp drinks under alcohol laws to protect their bottom line.

And that brings us to HB1019, which, at first glance, looks like a simple “lower the drinking age to 18 (with parental supervision)” bill. But dig deeper, and it’s sneakier than a politician’s tax write-offs.

This bill doesn’t just lower the drinking age, it rewires gaming laws, expands liquor profits, and shields bars from liability when things go sideways.
• Alcohol Play: Expands their customer base by letting 18-year-olds drink in bars as long as Mommy or Daddy is there. Because nothing says “responsible drinking” like a college freshman taking tequila shots next to their dad eating mozzarella sticks.
• Gaming Play: Conveniently aligns with video gaming laws so more young adults get comfortable with booze and flashing slot machines because that’s a great long-term investment.
• Liability Play: Updates the Innkeeper Protection Act, reducing risks for bars if an “adult-supervised” 18-year-old gets wrecked and something happens. Spoiler: They’re not looking out for kids they’re covering their own asses.

Here’s the real kicker: Compare this bill or many like this to the politicians who voted to raise the legal age for hemp to 21.
• If they think an 18-year-old can drink alcohol but must be 21 to consume hemp, they just told you who owns them.
• This isn’t about “freedom.” It’s about liquor lobbyists protecting their turf while making sure hemp doesn’t steal their customers.
• They don’t want competition, they want control.

Every vote for HB1019 should be cross-checked with votes on hemp regulations. If they push lower drinking ages for liquor but higher for hemp, they just put their price tag on display.

It’s like NASCAR just follow the sponsorship stickers.

SB0024

Digging through legislation to find the rare bills that actually protect the people who matter is usually a headache, but every once in a while, you stumble on something that gets it right, like this one.

SB0024: the Child Abuse and Torture Amendments should have been the easiest “yes” vote in history. It does what every state should have done years ago.

Defines Child Torture as a Specific Criminal Offense. Right now, child torture falls under general child abuse laws. This bill creates a separate offense with harsher penalties.

Mandatory Imprisonment: No more light sentences, no judicial discretion. If you torture a child, you go to prison. Period.

Expands Child Abuse Definitions: Updates legal language to close loopholes and ensure abusers can’t escape justice through technicalities.

Adds Child Torture to the Offender Registry: Convicted child torturers would be required to register, just like sex offenders and kidnappers.

Strengthens Protections in Custody Cases: Ensures that abusers and torturers have zero legal standing in custody disputes. Kids come first, not abusers.

And yet, it got sent back because of “fiscal concerns.”

So let’s break that down. They have no problem:
• Handing out corporate tax breaks
• Dumping money into law enforcement budgets
• Funding political pet projects
• But when it comes to protecting children from torture, suddenly they need to run the numbers?

They care more about budgets than kids.

Who’s Responsible for Delaying This?

The bill passed the Utah Senate 25-1 (who was the one who voted against it?), then got a favorable recommendation from the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee.

But then on February 13, 2025 it was sent back to the House Rules Committee for “fiscal prioritization.” Meaning someone decided locking up child torturers might cost too much.

Who voted against it?
Who sent it back?
Who thinks money matters more than protecting kids?

Every State Needs a SB0024

Shout out to Utah for drafting this law, but it shouldn’t stop there. Every single state should adopt a version of this bill.

Chief Senate Sponsor: Don Ipson and House Sponsor: Ryan D. Wilcox huge respect for pushing this forward. We need to talk about getting this done everywhere.

SB0024 deserves full approval. No more delays. No more excuses. And definitely no more protecting child abusers because it might “cost too much.”

Anyone else seeing this?

Are they seriously F'nAround with kids because of money?

SB18262 and HB1266

The concept of today’s article came to me because Brittini’s words kept echoing in my head: “It’s not just about exposing and tearing down systems of corruption, it’s about fixing them and replacing them with something better.”

So, while I was pulling back the veil tracing entities through the spiderwebs of patterns of more than six degrees of separation, in every data drop in the shadows of the internet, leading back to investment funds run by PIF, Lovelace, Rupert, Blackrock, Vanguard, and the usual suspects, those that always seem to be positioned at the intersection of major financial plays, public policy shifts, and regulatory decisions, often appearing to benefit from the outcomes, I had a thought...

Wait… didn’t they want to cut property taxes for the elderly?

Alright. Let’s try to put a plan together to fix this for her first.

Illinois is at it again with bills that sound good on paper but lack the structure to actually work. One wants to eliminate property taxes for long-term homeowners (SB1862), and the other wants to create a government efficiency department (HB1266). Both are flawed because they don’t connect.

In today’s article, we’re breaking down:
What these bills actually do (and don’t do).
Where the loopholes are (and who benefits from them).
How to actually fix this mess before Illinois uses it as an excuse to raise taxes elsewhere.

Because if we’re going to do this, let’s do it right the first time, and stop F'nAround.

Read the full article here…

our state’s financial mismanagement, you know it’s time for a real fix.

Illinois is facing serious fiscal challenges, with rising taxes, growing debt, and decreasing services, while key financial decisions continue to benefit entrenched political interests. Taxes go up, debt increases, services get worse, and somehow, politicians keep getting richer.

So, when two new bills dropped: one cutting property taxes for long-term homeowners and the other creating a department to reduce waste, it sounded promising.

But then I read the details.

They’re half-measures, designed to fail separately instead of working together. They aren’t solving the problem; they’re delaying the next tax hike.

Today, we’re breaking down:

What these bills actually do

Who benefits from the loopholes

How to actually make them work

Because if we’re going to fix this, let’s do it right the first time.

SB1862 – The 30-Year Property Tax Exemption

Introduced by: Sen. Neil Anderson

Full Bill Text: https://ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=&SessionId=114&GA=104&DocTypeId=SB&DocNum=1862&GAID=18&LegID=161040&SpecSess=&Session=

What It Does:

• Eliminates property taxes for homeowners who have lived in their home for 30+ years.

• Requires annual reapplication to maintain eligibility.

Where It Falls Short:

No spending cuts to balance lost revenue so Illinois will just raise taxes somewhere else.

Creates a rental & trust LLC loophole long-term leaseholders and trusts could qualify for the exemption.

Opens the door for a full repeal later baby-stepping towards tax cuts, but eventually, they’ll roll it back for “budgetary reasons.”

Who Wins?

• Property owners who hold their homes for decades.

• Landlords and trusts that qualify for the loophole.

Who Loses?

• New homeowners, renters, and businesses because the missing revenue has to come from somewhere.

This is what I call a slow repeal setup, first, they make the exemption seem small, then they expand it, then they claim it’s unaffordable and remove it altogether. He cares about the people, but he understands the politricks of Illinois and is trying here to make it work while playing the game.

HB1266 – The Government Efficiency Plan (iDOGE)

Introduced by: Rep. John Cabello

Full Bill Text: https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=&SessionId=114&GA=104&DocTypeId=HB&DocNum=1266&GAID=18&LegID=&SpecSess=&Session=

What It Does:

• Creates a Department of Government Efficiency (iDOGE) to find and eliminate wasteful spending.

• Requires annual reports on government inefficiency.

Where It Falls Short:

No enforcement power, it can find waste but can’t force cuts.

Risk of becoming another bloated government office because Illinois loves creating departments that do nothing.

State-funded, meaning it can be defunded or manipulated, unless it’s independently financed.

Who Wins?

• Politicians who can claim they’re tackling waste without actually cutting anything.

Who Loses?

• Taxpayers, unless the department is given real power.

He sees the benefit to this bill and helping the people as it has for the federal government but has to play the game again of politricks in Illinois and write a bill to get bi-partisan approval trying to help his state and people while playing the game ran by the other side.

The Fix: A 10-Step Plan to Make This Work NOW in my opinion

Illinois doesn’t need separate, broken bills. It needs one airtight plan that:

1. Ties property tax cuts to actual spending cuts, no exemptions unless equal waste is removed.

2. Gives iDOGE enforcement power, if it finds waste, it gets cut automatically.

3. Funds iDOGE independently, so politicians can’t manipulate or defund it.

4. Requires full transparency, every dollar cut, every tax break granted, all published publicly.

5. Closes all loopholes on trusts, leaseholders, and corporations can’t game the exemption.

6. Prevents tax burden shifting, so no hidden tax hikes elsewhere to cover the lost revenue.

7. Implements a legislative kill-switch, if Illinois tries to raise taxes instead of cutting waste, this law blocks it.

8. Audits spending BEFORE granting tax breaks, no guessing, data-driven cuts first.

9. Makes it legally binding, future legislators can’t undo this without full public vote.

10. Ties savings to public-approved programs, NOT legislative pockets.

The Model: GOP, Trump, Musk, & DOGE

Trump: Love or hate him, the tax cuts planned were paired with spending reductions.

Musk’s efficiency model: Before you cut costs, eliminate the waste.

DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency): Cut the waste, audit the spending, and make it transparent.

Illinois keeps doing the opposite, cutting revenue first, then scrambling to fill the gap.

That’s why it’s always broke.

The Final Safeguard: Don’t Let Politicians Pocket the Savings

If we’re cutting waste, we’re not handing the savings back to the same corrupt hands.

Instead of politicians deciding where the money goes, the public votes on it.

Pension debt reduction so Illinois stops robbing future generations to pay for today’s failures.

Property tax relief fund so homeowners actually see the benefit.

Education infrastructure, NOT administrative bloat funding schools, not politically connected contractors.

Public safety initiatives, NOT politically motivated social spending.

Because let’s be honest, Illinois’ financial priorities continue to raise questions about allocation, with taxpayer money frequently tied up in expensive legal battles and politically connected initiatives that deserve further public scrutiny. Public records show that a significant portion of the funds allocated for migrant housing and food assistance were awarded to organizations with deep ties to the state, many of which are active political donors and participants in multiple state-level functions. While no direct wrongdoing is being alleged, the overlap between public funding and political contributions is worth further examination to ensure financial decisions are made in the public’s best interest, not based on insider influence.

Shouldn’t there be stronger independent oversight on where these funds are going?

Maybe that needs more outside review as iDOGE starts cutting and tracking savings.

Final Thought: Illinois, Let’s Do This Right The First Time

Illinois doesn’t need another half-step toward reform. It needs a fully functional, airtight system that works from Day One.

Fix it now, fund it independently, and expose who tries to stop it.

Because if we don’t, the same people who got us into this mess will keep finding ways to keep us in it.

F'nAround to fix and replace it.. not just tear it down.

HB1844, HB2749, HB116, and HB1796

Alright, folks, let’s dive into the latest legislative escapades where states are embracing cryptocurrency like your grandma embracing TikTok, awkwardly and with a high potential for mishaps.

Illinois dropped HB1844, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, which lets the state accept Bitcoin donations and hold them for five years before deciding what to do with them. Because nothing screams fiscal responsibility like trusting the same people who struggle to keep potholes filled to manage crypto wallets. Five years of volatility, security risks, and the very real possibility that someone in government will write down a private key on a Post-it note. Sounds foolproof. https://lnkd.in/g2pW59pU

Meanwhile , Arizona’s HB2749 wants to classify unclaimed virtual currency under state property laws. How exactly does the state plan to hold unclaimed Bitcoin? A government-managed hardware wallet? Cold storage in the same system that still runs on Windows XP? The same folks who accidentally publish Social Security numbers on public databases are now in charge of securing digital assets. What could go wrong? https://lnkd.in/gueQxnaf

Ohio’s HB116, the Blockchain Basics Act, is out here making sure digital assets aren’t taxed like regular money. Because God forbid crypto bros help fund public services like the rest of us. But here’s where it gets interesting, it also opens the door for the state retirement system to invest in digital assets. Nothing says secure pension like tying Grandma’s future to the next meme coin crash. https://lnkd.in/gEgHpczH

And then there’s Virginia’s HB1796, which gives DAOs the same legal status as actual companies. A decentralized organization, run by smart contracts and anonymous token holders, could now sign contracts, own assets, and possibly sue you. We’ve officially reached the point where you could get legally wrecked by bad code. The first time a DAO gets hacked, and a state government has to argue with an unresponsive smart contract in court is going to be legendary. https://lnkd.in/gzufmn_F

This trend is snowballing, states are scrambling to regulate crypto without fully understanding it. Instead of fixing the systems we already have, they’re making new ones with more loopholes than logic. Which brings us to an entirely different bill that there are plans to introduce this week, one that proposes swapping Benjamin Franklin off the $100 bill for Trump. By funny coincidence, yesterday I was reading about that school RPI and learned one of their fraternal organizations had Franklin as their patron saint. Today, I wake up to Republicans trying to replace him.

And with that, back to F'nAround…

HR 901, HR 708, HR 706, and HR 495

Four bills: HR 901, HR 708, HR 706, and HR 495, propose expanding Homeland Security’s authority over research security, biodefense, foreign threats, and border tunnels. These bills are presented as national security measures, but a deeper analysis suggests they may serve a different purpose worth considering.

A Closer Look at the Bills
• HR 901 (Research Security & Accountability Act) Expands Homeland Security’s control over access to federally funded research. The bill uses broad language around “unauthorized access,” which could allow for selective enforcement. If certain research is classified as a security risk, it can be restricted. But what defines a “security risk,” and who benefits from limiting access?
• HR 708 (SHIELD Against CCP Act) Establishes a working group to counter threats from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in trade, cybersecurity, and border security. However, the bill extends beyond direct threats, covering “non-traditional tactics” such as business practices, supply chains, and intellectual property. The lack of specific definitions leaves room for interpretation potentially allowing targeted scrutiny of certain industries or companies. This string is why the CPD went after a minor for Snapchat.
• HR 706 (DHS Biodetection Improvement Act) Increases Homeland Security’s involvement in biodefense research with no explicit limits on what qualifies. It also formalizes collaboration with Department of Energy labs, raising questions about whether this extends to private-sector partnerships or proprietary scientific developments. Which research areas might be affected, and how will this influence innovation?
• HR 495 (Subterranean Border Defense Act) Requires annual reports on illicit border tunnels but does not mandate new enforcement actions or technology advancements. If the goal is to stop tunnels, why focus solely on documentation rather than solutions? Could the intent be more about tracking certain movements rather than preventing them?

Individually, these bills address distinct security concerns. When analyzed together, they reflect a potential shift in oversight across research, trade, security, and technological development. Understanding how these legislative efforts intersect and their long-term impact is essential.
Laws often allow for flexibility in implementation, but transparency remains a key factor in public trust. As discussions continue, clarity on the intent and execution of these measures will be important in assessing their role in national security.

Who are they F'nAround and going after?

HB1165, HB2827, HB2390, HB3376, HB2455, HB1783, and HB3111

Why did the Democratic Party of Illinois, JB Pritzker, Brandon Johnson, the City of Chicago, and the State of Illinois fight the federal government to stop them from finding and protecting missing migrant children, only to turn around and pass laws to track, regulate, and control Illinois’ own kids, especially homeschooled and disabled children? Patterns don’t lie. If child welfare was really the priority, why push HB1165, HB2827, HB2390, HB3376, HB2455, HB1783, and HB3111, bills that expand state power over parental rights while ignoring real child protection failures? Read this and ask yourself: Is this about safety, or is it about control? Is this how the Donner party felt when they ran out of meat? Idk but I’m just F'nAround, why don’t you read and see if our state is too… just with the wrong things…’

In 2024, Illinois lost one of the Aunt Martha’s, a key child services provider (you should google it, or ask Pritzker, Madigan, Durbin, or Duckworth), in what the news barely covered. Then, in 2025, Homan and Trump vowed to find and protect all missing migrant children. So, what does Illinois do in response? Do they help locate those missing kids? Do they increase accountability for child welfare programs?

Nope. Instead, they pass a series of bills that put a stranglehold on disabled and homeschooled kids.

Now, I’m not saying there’s a connection, but come on, no one cared about tracking or controlling homeschoolers until the federal government started talking about finding all missing migrant children. And now Illinois Democrats suddenly want full tracking and control over disabled and homeschooled kids?

I don’t know, but if it quacks like a duck…

What’s Really Going On?

These bills aren’t about helping kids, they’re about control, surveillance, and eliminating educational freedom.

HB1165 – Lets school districts place disabled students in unapproved, unregulated facilities with no parental oversight.

HB2827 – Requires homeschool parents to register with the state, making non-compliance a truancy offense.

HB2390 – Changes special education funding in a way that could deny services to disabled students.

HB3376 – Expands bureaucratic oversight over IEP (Individualized Education Plan) evaluations, limiting parental say.

HB2455 – Expands state oversight of early childhood special education, but without adding any real support.

HB1783 – Forces language acquisition tracking on deaf and hard-of-hearing students, centralizing their data.

HB3111 – Forces students as young as 13 into special education meetings, whether they are ready or not.

See the Pattern?

Illinois is moving to a model where every child, homeschooled, public schooled, disabled, or hearing-impaired is entered into a state-tracked database.

This is about total compliance, not education.

They want every child’s location, learning status, disability status, medical records, and compliance with school attendance rules.

This isn’t just about public schools anymore; they’re coming for homeschooling and special education families too.

The Bigger Picture: What’s the Endgame?

This legislative push isn’t just about education reform, it’s about creating a framework for total government oversight of children.

Here’s what’s really happening:

1. Eliminating Educational Autonomy

• Homeschoolers must register (HB2827).

• Special education placements will be dictated by bureaucrats (HB1165).

• IEPs are standardized to remove parental discretion (HB3376).

2. Tying Education to Medical Compliance

• Homeschooled kids must submit proof of vaccination or religious exemptions (HB2827).

• Mandatory screenings for young special education students (HB2455).

3. Data Collection & Surveillance

• Homeschool families are tracked and categorized (HB2827).

• Hearing-impaired children’s language development is monitored (HB1783).

4. Criminalizing Non-Compliance

• Homeschool parents face truancy charges if they don’t comply (HB2827).

• Special education students can be placed in any facility the school chooses, without parental consent (HB1165).

5. Total Government Control Over Parental Rights

• Schools, not parents, decide where disabled kids go (HB1165).

• IEP meetings force students into participation whether they’re ready or not (HB3111).

• Homeschool families will have to “prove” they are educating their children (HB2827).

Why Now? Who’s Behind This?

Ask yourself: Why now? Why are these bills all hitting at the same time?

Who decided 2025 was the year that Illinois needed total oversight of children’s education?

The Politicians Behind This Power Grab:

• HB1165: Rep. Daniel Didech h (D)

• HB1783: Rep. Michelle Mussman (D)

• HB2390: Rep. Tracy Katz Muhl (D)

• HB2455: Rep. State Representative Maura Hirschauer r (D)

• HB3111: Rep. Daniel Didech (D)

• HB3376: Rep. Michelle Mussman (D), Rep. Michael Crawford (D)

• HB2827: Multiple Democratic sponsors

Illinois politicians, especially Democrats, are pushing these bills under the radar.

Coincidence? Or a strategic move to expand government control?

I’ll wait for them to explain.

So, tell us, Representatives, why now?

Why do you suddenly care so much about homeschooling and special education tracking?

Why do you need all this data on children?

Please. Enlighten us, because this pattern is looking mighty sketchy with how much we protest the federal government from finding and protecting kids and we are even getting sued over it. I mean what do I know I’m just F'nAround over here but at least it’s not with kids…

HB2881, HB2882, HB2883, HB2885, HB2887, HB2890, and HB3515.

Why Are Democrats for the Illinois House Pushing to Weaken FOIA?Illinois politicians love secrecy, especially when they don’t want you to know what they’re doing.In a coordinated legislative push, Rep. Terra Costa Howard (D) and Janet Yang Rohr, CFA (D) introduced bills that make public records harder to access, government meetings less transparent, and FOIA requests slower, more expensive, and easier to deny.Here’s what they’re pushing:HB2881 (Terra Costa Howard, D) – Increases FOIA fees, making it more expensive for the average citizen to access public records.HB2882 (Terra Costa Howard, D) – Shields public-private contracts from FOIA, hiding how taxpayer money is spent.HB2883 (Terra Costa Howard, D) – Expands police record exemptions, making it harder to access misconduct reports and wrongful conviction records.HB2885 (Terra Costa Howard, D) – Broadens FOIA exemptions, giving government agencies more power to reject requests.HB2887 (Terra Costa Howard, D) – Extends FOIA response times, delaying public access to government records.HB2890 (Terra Costa Howard, D) – Weakens the Open Meetings Act, reducing public notice of government decisions.HB3515 (Janet Yang Rohr, D) – Lets agencies label FOIA requests as “commercial” to impose high fees and deny records.See the pattern yet? These bills don’t expand transparency, they kill it.At the same time, this same party is pushing bills to track, categorize, and regulate disabled and homeschooled kids, expand state oversight over families, and strip parental rights.Let’s connect the dots:They don’t want you to know what public agencies are doing.They don’t want you to hold law enforcement accountable.They don’t want you to see how taxpayer money is being spent.They DO want full tracking, oversight, and control over children.Illinois politicians have spent more time fighting FOIA than protecting missing children. Why is that?If child welfare is really the priority, why are we seeing laws to track homeschoolers and special needs kids, but nothing about finding thousands of missing migrant children?Maybe there’s no connection. Maybe it’s just bad policy. But bad policy in the same direction always starts looking like intent.So, Terra Costa Howard and Janet Yang Rohr, why are you so desperate to hide what you’re doing? I wonder, does Morningstar benefit from classifying FOIA requests as “commercial”, or is this just a coincidence?I see a pattern, looks like a playbook. And I’m not looking away. I see what’s happening, and I’m not F'nAround anymore…

Why did the Democratic Party of Illinois, JB Pritzker, Brandon Johnson, the City of Chicago, and the State of Illinois fight the federal government to stop them from finding and protecting missing migrant children, only to turn around and pass laws to track, regulate, and control Illinois’ own kids, especially homeschooled and disabled children?
