It’s a clear conflict of interest for the Trump Administration to have their own lawyers represent immigrant children against their own deportation machine. We have two demands for @HHSGov Secretary Kennedy: (1) Drop this absurd plan (2) Restore independent legal counsel Now.

"This is literally the first time I've heard about this." Master Sgt. Nicole Amor was killed by an Iranian drone 232 days ago, and the VP doesn't know? He hasn't asked a single question about this deadly attack and other troops in harm's way? There is a top-to-bottom failure of leadership happening here. The first failure is that Trump and Vance clearly did nothing to ensure our troops were protected against predictable counterattacks in a war they chose to start. The second failure is taking zero accountability. Our troops' blood is on their hands, and they must answer for it.

Reminder: it is illegal to send militarized federal agents to intimidate voters at our polling places.

UPDATE: Bedford finally approved these raises. And it’s about damn time. Air traffic controllers, who are already understaffed and overworked, should’ve never had to wait for a raise that Congress authorized more than 150 days ago.

The brutal, unprovoked attack on Palestinian villagers and Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine is reprehensible. Israeli authorities must hold those responsible for this attack accountable and stop enabling broader efforts to annex the West Bank. The safety of Palestinians, Israelis and Americans in the region depends on it.

$50 billion in rural health care funding after gutting $1 trillion from health care is like putting a band-aid on a bullet hole. Democrats fought for families. Republicans fought for billionaire tax cuts.

AI is advancing at breakneck speed. Americans deserve safeguards that protect their jobs, their privacy and their pocketbook. Not voluntary "promises" and tech companies writing their own rules.

3 kids and one other have been killed at an elementary school in Oregon. Kids should be picking out Halloween costumes—not hiding from a gunman. Our kids deserve leaders who will do everything they can to keep them safe from gun violence. Inaction is not an option.

Absolutely horrifying. My heart is with the Hindu community in the wake of this news, and I'm grateful to the heroes at the Mount Prospect and Palatine Police Departments who helped prevent an unthinkable tragedy. White supremacy and hate have no place in our nation. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/pal…

Buying a home was already too expensive, and now we’re seeing the highest mortgage rates in nearly 3 years. Higher gas prices. Higher grocery bills. Higher mortgage payments. Americans just can't afford the cost of Trump's war.

This is peak corruption. Under the Trump Administration, you get the bill for the President's illegal war. The rich get richer. And nobody gets held accountable.

Costs are too high. Wages are too low. And Trump is focused on raising up monuments and building ballrooms to stroke his own ego. It's a "Golden Age" for no one but him.

You don't have to drive a diesel truck to feel the squeeze of Trump's illegal war.   Diesel prices are up more than 75%, driving up the cost of growing your food, shipping your groceries and delivering everyday goods.   Americans can’t go on like this. It’s time to end the war.

The first reigning queen to pilot a fighter jet solo. From one pilot to another, congratulations to Her Majesty Queen Suthida of Thailand! 🇹🇭

Happy 251st birthday, @USNavy!⚓️🇺🇸

Long before America was “discovered,” Indigenous people have taken care of these lands and called it home.   Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor their resilience, their traditions and leadership across Illinois. We recommit to bringing restorative justice and protections to tribal communities. And we reject any attempt to erase our history.
