I like Kelly, but she didn’t get traction, so I rallied to Stratton to beat Krishnamoorthi. She’ll be a huge improvement on Durbin.

My father enlisting, 1966. Later got a hardship discharge, saved his family from near homelessness. Worked in slaughterhouses to provide.

Trump, he said before he died in the Iowa Veterans Home, "will fuck this country up."

Though his life fell apart, he gives me strength.

We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.

Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

Trump administration sends letter wiping out addiction, mental health grants The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services. The cuts could total as much as $2 billion.

Shameful and cruel.

Trump is breaking his pledge to MAHA, cutting addiction care, and pulling the plug on programs that improve Americans' mental health to prevent suicide.

Illinois is fighting for the support our people deserve — we'll be here for you.

This is part of the Trump administration’s Epstein Files release — 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, fully redacted.

This is not transparency. This is a cover-up. Follow the law and release ALL of the damn files.

It’s been a particularly heavy start to Hanukkah this year.

May the memories of those who were killed be a blessing.

May we keep in our minds the suffering of those injured.

And may we share our prayers with their families and the Jewish community in Australia.

Firing over 100 immigration judges.

Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.

Pausing asylum decisions.

And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.

Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."
