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.

Breaking news: The East Wing of the White House is gone.

Wrecking crews completely removed the decades-old annex by midday Thursday, just three days after they started, to make way for a pet project of President Trump: a 90,000-square-foot ballroom.
The East Wing is gone, and Trump turns to damage control
Demolition crews appeared to finish taking down the bulk of the White House wing Thursday, while President Donald Trump defended the project.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

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?

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects.

We’ve got generations out in the streets — toddlers, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents.

90 year olds who saw fascism rise — & helped the world defeat it.

And toddlers who may not speak much yet but still know this truth:

In America, we don’t have kings

Official count estimates are up - before it was "nearly 7m" then it was "roughly 7m" now it is officially "more than 7m." Trend is up!
Still so joyous and jazzed from the protests yesterday! It was so wonderful to see so many Americans show up and disprove their characterizations about us. #nokings

I feel like like this moment in the Lord of the Rings, when the darkness seemed complete, but the sun rose, and Gandalf arrived precisely when he meant to; the day was won by the free peoples of Middle Earth who came together against those that would try to bend their will.

Thomas Paine, American Crisis:

"THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."
