Real Truth @democracy.rteqrott.com · Sep 16
The real truth is fundamental and foundational to our democracy. It’s represented by true facts, and must genuinely reflect reality. People of many cultures in the United States rely on our system of government to function fairly and equitably for “...Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Protesters form a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach as part of Saturday’s No Kings day of action. The demonstrators supported Proposition 50, a measure on November’s ballot to redraw California’s congressional districts in response to Texas’ GOP-focused remapping.

🚨WOW. A unanimous per curiam (meaning no named author) panel of the 7th Circuit, made up of a Bush appointee, an Obama appointee, and a Trump appointee, decline to step in and block a lower court order barring the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago!

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois.

"We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

Today and every day, we recognize the hardworking Illinoisans who work around the clock to put food on our tables and carry on our proud agricultural traditions.

Know that we’ll always have your back.

Happy National Farmer’s Day!

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.
Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas
With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Donald Trump ended the National Blue Ribbon Schools program this year.

But, I believe that educational excellence should be celebrated — and it's why we're picking up where they've dropped the ball.

I’m recognizing 28 schools in IL as the 2025 Governor’s Blue Ribbon Schools.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Without ACA tax credits, a 64-year-old couple making $90K would face an extra $26,000 a year in premiums.

Democrats are working to protect families—Republicans are ready to let these credits expire.

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.

As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

These firings are illegal—

And yet another example of Trump finding new ways to inflict harm on the American people and the programs they rely on.

He's playing with Americans' livelihoods to try and help Republicans pass a budget that would kick you off your health care.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
