Congress needs answers now about the extrajudicial killings ordered by President Trump in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.
What’s happening with ICE in Chicago is an OUTRAGE.
I want to share a full explainer of the reality on the ground—even if it’s tough to see.
Pay attention. Stand with innocent families. Watch.
I sent a letter a few weeks ago to major health insurance companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield and United to ask what it will mean in Illinois for the ACA enhanced premium tax credits tax credits to expire.
Their answer? Devastation.
The American people deserve transparency over January 6 and the President's mishandling of classified documents.
But AG Bondi’s Justice Department refuses to release the full report the Special Counsel’s team compiled.
Add it to the list of files this Administration refuses to show the public.
President Trump and his representatives called multiple Republican Senators to urge them to delay certification of the 2020 election.
Jack Smith led the investigation into who the President called and what he asked.
But Republicans won’t let him testify before the Judiciary Committee.
You shouldn’t have to explain to six-year-olds why they need to be careful of tear gas, rubber bullets, and unlawful deportations on Halloween night.
They’re kids.

It’s a damn shame—and I hate to even have to say it.
But, the Trump Administration has no remorse for targeting innocent kids and families on Halloween.
Stay safe, stay vigilant tonight.
Republicans want to investigate the the Justice Department’s investigation into President Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Why not let the man who led the investigation testify under oath?

I voted to terminate the President’s disastrous tariffs on Brazil, Canada, and his “reciprocal” tariffs on nearly every country.
These tariffs are hiking up prices and harming American families, workers, and small businesses.
The President must stop playing games with our economy.
There are 130,000+ vetted, approved refugees ready for a chance at the American Dream.
They’re men, women, children fleeing persecution and violence, but they’ve waited in line like they’re supposed to.
President Trump is letting white South Africans skip ahead—and closing the door behind them.
Illegal and invalid.
There are 130,000+ vetted, approved refugees fleeing persecution and violence.
But President Trump is turning refugee admissions into another political giveaway.

Big companies have squeezed family farms for years.
Seed and fertilizer aren’t affordable.
Pressure tactics trap farmers as customers.
Private data collection has little transparency.
We need more competition and transparency in seed and fertilizer.
I am relieved to hear that Mr. Torres Maldonado was released from detention today so he can be with his daughter as she battles cancer.
The fact that the Trump Administration is targeting families like the Maldonados is proof of the excessive cruelty of their immigration enforcement operations.
This is a flat-out lie.
I met with the Illinois Department of Insurance Director, Ann Gillespie, to discuss the Republicans’ refusal to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits
Without them, Illinoisans with an ACA plan will see a nearly 80% average cost increase for their health insurance. This is unacceptable.
