It would cost roughly $700 million to make the nation's slowest buses fast and free.

And it would generate more than double that in economic benefits for our city.

Proud to support Senator Jeff Merkley on the floor today as he sounds the alarm on Trump's creeping authoritarianism. My family fled Nazi Germany. We know a thing or two about what happens next.

Another milestone year for the Illinois State Fair and Du Quoin State Fair, totaling over a million attendees in 2025!

A time-honored tradition for generations of Illinoisans, this year's attendance numbers are a testament to the enduring value of our state fairs.

Andrew Cuomo didn't just watch from the sidelines as the homelessness crisis grew. He was in power—and made political choices, time and again, that made it worse.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

It's time to acknowledge reality:

Our health system is broken. It's time to guarantee good-quality care to every man, woman & child in this country.

Our campaign finance system is broken. It's time to get rid of Citizens United and publicly fund elections.

Let’s do it.

Trump has transformed the presidency into a massive "Bribe Delivery System"

Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.

Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.

New from me:

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse

It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

Trump has destroyed the East Wing, Rose Garden, and White House lawn for a single reason: To create a suitably gilded gladiatorial arena in which to celebrate his big birthday.

Headline saying Trump to hold White House UFC fight on his birthday.

How conveniently they forget.

A tweet from Really American reads: “BREAKING: In an insane moment, Donald Trump Jr. says... that if his dad wanted to be king, he would never have left office. He tried to stay, Junior. On January 6th.” Below is a news screenshot showing Donald Trump Jr. on one side and a photo of Donald Trump shaking hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the other, with the Fox News chyron: “PRESIDENT TRUMP TRIGGERS THE LEFT.”

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.

This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

Still not sure we need Medicare for All?
