Trump and GOP can release the SNAP money any time. Holding the poor accountable for Congressional negotiations is cruel and inhumane.

I hope everyone has a big leaf maple to see in their neighborhood this week. I also hope it's not in your yard, so you don't have to rake all those leaves.

I was excited to make phone calls for your campaign today even though I don't live in New Jersey, because common sense gun safety doesn't stop at the state line. #momsareeverywhere

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.

I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

Governor JB Pritzker today signed Executive Order 2025-06 to establish the Illinois Accountability Commission (IAC), an independent board tasked with capturing and creating a public record of the conduct of federal law enforcement agents and recommending actions to hold the federal government accountable as they continue conducting military-style operations in Chicago, collar counties, and other areas throughout the state.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

AND he is denying the will of the people and prior Congressional budgeting that put that money there.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Washington secured a court order blocking NOAA's $9M climate resilience funding termination. Judge Pechman: "allowing a change in an administration to upend multi-year grants would cause unnecessary chaos."

Sadly, Trump cares not a wit about words and barely follows court orders. Trump is a hardened criminal. What do we know about getting the attention and cooperation of hardened criminals that are leaders of transnational crime syndicates?

Here’s what’s at stake in the shutdown:

If Republicans get their way, 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every year.

15 million will lose their health care.

20 million will see their premiums double.

All so they can give a trillion dollar tax break to the 1%.
