John Atkinson: Public servants are under attack. Here’s why their work matters. What I see working with Illinois’ public servants is not complacency; I see professionals who work hard to ensure their neighbors can succeed.

ICE is a lawless agency operating as a private police force for an authoritarian president. It has no place in Minneapolis, Chicago, or anywhere in America. Abolish ICE.

House Condemns García’s Election Scheme Amid Democratic Split

I am proud that @repbillfoster.bsky.social and @ericsorensen.bsky.social stood for democracy, voting integrity and against the disenfranchisement of 4th district voters. What @chuygarcia.house.gov did creates a very sad chapter to end a career in public service. #disappointed

I’ve been out protesting in Broadview and the #ISP is the only thing protecting us from armed ICE assaults.
They are trying to make the best of it. And mutual dancing to #NealDiamond helps us all love a bit more. Kudos to these crooners! @Illinoisstatepolice #peacedfulprotest

Greg Hinz: Time for Trump, Pritzker to talk immigration deal If they can reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza of all places, can’t our leaders somehow craft a deal to end the deepening war over Chicago immigration raids?

Right now @GregHinz it’s clear that @Governor Pritzker is one of the few leaders in this country actually fighting to save our democracy. You cannot appease a dictator with words. History is clear about that.

OPmobility’s decision to establish its first Illinois facility in Normal is another win for our state, workers, and the Central Illinois economy.

This investment builds on our growing EV ecosystem and demonstrates the power of programs like REV Illinois.

Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois.

I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights.

Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist.

Well, I am. We are. We will.

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important.

He should be fired immediately.

Texas makes first arrest under state’s terrifying abortion ban Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton released a statement Monday boasting about the arrest of a Houston-area midwife for illegally performing an abortion, marking the state’s first criminal charge for ab...

Texas’s abortion ban is one of the most strict in the country. Now they’ve taken the disturbing step of arresting a midwife for helping women who sought reproductive care. Abortion bans were never about protecting women, they were always about control. www.dailykos.com/story/2025/3...
