Not in that order

We're on a giant space rock barreling through space. It's the only space rock we have. Be good to it, and be good to each other.
I don't want a government shutdown, but this is all the power Democrats have right now. The Republicans are in power - they are in charge of making sure things function. If that involves working with Democrats to get there, then they will need to do that. If they refuse, they can own that.

In what way is this administration's control fettered NOW? Do not give an inch to fascism.

What ICE just did to me was a violent abuse of power — and yet it’s nothing compared to what they’re doing to immigrant communities.

I’ve been fighting the right as a journalist and now I’m running for Congress to do the same in DC.

Because we deserve leaders who will actually stand up for us.

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority.

There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.
