This isn’t law enforcement. This is an authoritarian takeover.

ICE agents are terrorizing black and brown people at Donald Trump’s command.

Abbott is again using unpaid Texas Guard members for political theater.

Instead of lowering prices and fixing the real problems, Republicans are sending military forces to American cities.

Shameful.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 10d

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Trump enabled the genocide in Gaza and declared war on American cities.

This is the most un-American president we have ever had.

It’s time to tell the truth: Trump’s foolish tariffs screwed American farmers irreparably.

China is now happily buying their soybeans from Brazil and Argentina while our farmers struggle. Massive unforced error.

Americans are struggling to make ends meet.

Instead of fixing the economy, Trump is fixated on persecuting his political opponents.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Just in time for Hispanic heritage month, the Supreme Court has given ICE the green light to profile people based on race.

Disgusting.

Today, we honor the heroes and mourn the victims of the 9/11 attacks.

We must never forget their courage and the sacrifices made that day.

The Supreme Court just gave ICE the green light to racially profile people.

This is a five alarm fire.

First they come for Hispanics, next they will come for you.

If you’re enjoying the long weekend, thank a union.

From the 40 hour workweek to Social Security, unions have fought to advance the rights we enjoy today.

As Republicans try to weaken workers’ rights, we will keep fighting for better pay, conditions, and benefits.

Texas Republicans could expand access to healthcare for millions if they wanted.

Instead they’re legalizing horse dewormer for humans.

Insane and sad. #txlege

Loose Republican gun laws lead to today’s massacre in Minneapolis, just like in Uvalde.

The carnage will not stop until we have basic, common sense gun safety laws in place.

Sending the National Guard to police cities and masked ICE agents to kidnap people is full-blown authoritarianism.

This cannot stand.

My colleague @NicoleCollier95 is being locked up in the House chamber by petty Texas Republicans because she demanded flood relief and stood up for her district.

Three people were killed at an Austin, Texas Target during back-to-school shopping because of loose gun laws.

We shouldn’t have to suffer this carnage, but we do because Republicans care more about a check than our lives. #txlege

Three people were killed in a mass shooting at an Austin Target.

Texas has some of the loosest gun laws in the country.

We should be able to go back-to-school shopping in peace, but reckless Republican gun laws keep us in danger. #txlege
