We need Democrats who aren’t afraid of the tough fights and have a record of winning the big ones.

Evanston will not allow federal agents to use city-owned property for immigration enforcement. We will not hesitate to protect our neighbors.

This Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor the strength, culture and resilience of Indigenous peoples.

It is a day to reflect upon the responsibility to uphold sovereignty, protect sacred lands and tell the full truth of our nation’s history.

It is an enormous relief to see all the hostages returned to their families.

But this is also a reminder of the road ahead. All parties must work to honor this ceasefire and prevent a return to war. Civilians and aid must be prioritized. Humanity must come first. Always.

The remaining living hostages released by Hamas have arrived back in Israel. Israeli authorities have begun releasing hundreds of Palestinian detainees and prisoners under the Trump administration-brokered ceasefire plan.

Most of all, get involved, stay vigilant, and reach out to your local leaders for help. We have to keep each other safe now, and we'll do it by sticking together.

ICE was once again a presence in Evanston and Rogers Park this AM, with masked men taking multiple members of our community off the street. Here are a few things you can do right now to stay safe and help protect your neighbors

Donald Trump is after absolute control. The President of our nation is deploying troops against his own residents. That isn’t leadership or democracy. It’s authoritarianism, plain and simple.
danielbiss.bsky.social
Trump is creating fake prosecutions against his political targets. In a democracy, we are entitled to the freedom of speech. But now, our President is intimidating those who disagree with him into silence. I’ll say it again. We will not be silent.

More temper tantrums from a wannabe dictator.

In Illinois, I helped ban conversion therapy for minors.

Now, Republicans and the Supreme Court are targeting Colorado’s ban, threatening to unravel protections nationwide.

I’ve won this fight before. And I’ll never back down when it comes to protecting LGBTQ+ communities.

October 7th will forever be remembered for the horrific Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel that brought unimaginable pain and loss. We mourn every life taken and remember the hostages who still haven’t come home. May we commit to rejecting hate and work toward peace, safety and security for all.

If any other country shut down its government to take away health care and sent troops into the streets, we’d call it authoritarianism.

Why should America be any different?

Our nation deserves better than a petty tyrant.
danielbiss.bsky.social
Whether its ICE, CBP or now National Guard troops in our streets, the bottom line is the same. Trump wants to intimidate us out of defying his authoritarian playbook.

He must not know Chicago very well. We don't back down around here.

On Yom Kippur, families across our district and the world reflect, pray and hope for renewal. This solemn day is a time to reckon with the past year, ask forgiveness and commit to doing better. May this season bring healing, strength in community, and commitment to a just and compassionate world.

Here’s what I have to say about the Republican government shutdown.
danielbiss.bsky.social
A shutdown isn’t abstract. In Illinois, workers lose paychecks, families lose health protections and communities lose safety nets. These are real people, doing essential work. They're not mere bargaining chips for political games.
schakowsky.house.gov
There are 11 hours left until the Republican-led government shutdown.

If Republicans let premium health tax credits expire, millions will face higher costs — including 26,000 people in Illinois' 9th District.

We must put people over politics. The time to act is NOW.

This means showing up with mutual aid - helping families get groceries, walk their kids to school, and feel safe in our community.
