Donald Trump will not be president forever.
He and his administration will be held accountable one way or another — and the Illinois Accountability Commission will make sure we do just that.

Kristi Noem is telling ICE agents they can forcibly enter your home without a judicial warrant.
That is unconstitutional.
History will judge us if we do not stand up to the lawlessness and cruelty of this administration.

DHS spending bill passed 220-207
7 Democrats voted in favor:
Henry Cuellar
Don Davis
Laura Gilles
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Jared Golden
Vicente Gonzalez
Tom Suozzi
Massie voted No
Andy Harris didn't vote
Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so

We were in federal appeals court today challenging President Trump's unlawful invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
This administration is trying to misuse this wartime authority to deport people without due process. We’ll continue fighting until this illegal invocation is brought to an end.

Republicans spent the entire hearing accusing Jack Smith of prosecuting Trump for political reasons and falsely claiming he was being directed by Biden and Garland. Ironically, while they were doing that, Trump was telling Bondi on Truth Social that she should prosecute Smith.
