The progressive community (and socialists) owed the voters better in this race.

Now that Chuy, Jan and Danny are out of the way, maybe Delia Ramirez can form a better leadership team.

Would have been better if Litesa Wallace won the #IL17 seat.

Hypothesis: if these districts have noticeably better turnout than districts with meh options ( #IL01, #IL04, #IL11, #IL17) then there's a strong argument that the people who get excited about Leftist politics actually show up in the numbers.

Good morning. Just wanted to let you know my thoughts on ICE activity in #IL17 and whether or not I will vote to fund them. Watch:

So many of you in #IL17 have shared your stories about being priced out of health care. What’s happening today is wrong and my sights remain focused on lowering the cost of families being healthy.

Watch:

There are THREE anti-ICE events this weekend in #Rockford - Saturday at 1pm, Sunday at noon, and Sunday at 2pm.

I am happy to report that our neighbors will start receiving their full SNAP today despite President Trump’s best efforts to avoid feeding thousands of us in #IL17.

Tariffs are crushing farmers in #IL17.

Farmers don’t want bailouts, they want good policy. I talk to farmers every day who wish the President would pay attention to them first, not Argentina.

ONLINE COVERB Cell Help Measures Up Against Parasites. How B cells acquire antigens from large pathogens, including single-celled parasites, to support T cell–driven humoral responses is not well understood. Gao et al. used Ighg2A10 B cells specific for the surface Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP) to examine the interaction between B cells and Plasmodium berghei sporozoites engineered to express PfCSP. Ighg2A10 B cells could internalize and present cognate and bystander surface antigens, which resulted in both intramolecular and intermolecular CD4 T cell help. This help either suppressed or supported protective B cell responses depending on whether the CD4 T cells recognized cytosolic or surface sporozoite antigens. This month’s cover is a pseudocolored and digitally altered scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrograph of Plasmodium sporozoites (pale purple) attached to Ighg2A10 B cells (bright pink) at one end.

#IL17 #Rockford #Illinois @solizforcongress.bsky.social WILL fight for you, whether you're right, left, or in between. Montez Soliz is meant for the moment, in a time when we need action! We need to make sure he gets on the ballot,we need young fearless leaders fighting for the people. #votesoliz

New study finds IL-17 deficiency may underlie cryptococcosis in HIV-negative “immunocompetent” adults. Could unlock new paths for immunotherapy! 🦠🧬

Million dollar milestone! Many thanks to 800 of my neighbors in #IL17 who’ve contributed an average of $42.

I’ll never stop fighting for real people. And while I’m at it, I’ll fight anyone who thinks it’s okay to enrich billionaires while screwing with working people in this country.

LFG!!!

Congratulations to Savanna, Illinois’ own Cameron Jones on being included in NASA's All American 2025 Class of Astronauts!

#IL17

Allergen-induced airway matrix remodeling in mice can be prevented or reversed by targeting chitinase-like proteins Allergic airway matrix remodeling occurs independently of IL-13 and IL-17A and is driven instead by chitinase-like proteins.

Now in #Science #Immunology, @drtesutherland.bsky.social & al report chitinase-like proteins (CLPs) make distinct contributions to airway pathology independent of #IL13- & #IL17 –mediated signaling in 🐀 #asthna model! CLPs orchestrate airway #ECM remodeling, & can be both protective & detrimental!

I’m hearing from businesses across #IL17 who are telling me tariffs are hurting them.

It doesn’t have to be this way. I have legislation that will bring investments and jobs to #IL17 in spite of this Administration’s doomed policies.

The House GOP’s massive cuts to Medicaid are threatening rural hospitals right here in #IL17.

I’m doing everything I can to make sure that doesn’t happen. Proud to announce that OSF Healthcare Systems in Peoria are receiving federal funding to keep our neighbors healthy.

Random things from #IL17 around my house!

I’m committed to bringing American manufacturing back to #IL17, but we’re not going to do it by jacking up the price of basic needs in the process. Small businesses and real families are paying the price of Trump’s stupid tariffs and I’m always fighting back.

🧬 New study identifies a truncated CD74 isoform as a key driver of IL-17 overproduction in stromal-immune cell interactions. Blocking it significantly reduces IL-17, pointing to a promising new therapeutic target.

In the House Agriculture Committee, I saluted the hundreds of local youth involved in 4H and FFA who represent the best of #IL17.

Thank you to all farm families for passing down traditional values of animal stewardship rooted in responsibility, compassion, and hard work.

ANYBODY IN #IL17, REPRESENTATIVE SORENSEN RESPONDED TO MY DEMAND FOR IMPEACHMENT. HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, IF YOU'RE FOR IMPEACHMENT AND YOU LIVE IN MY DISTRICT THAT YOU GIVE HIM A CALL AND WRITE HIM A LETTER EXPLAINING WHY IMPEACHMENT IS THE ONLY REMEDY OUT OF THIS SITUATION.

DCCC Vendors Work for Corporations Lobbying Against Democratic Policies The DCCC has blacklisted vendors that work with progressive challengers, but it continues to pay those whose corporate clients work to block policies like net neutrality and Medicare for All.

Former Rep. Cheri Bustos (D - #IL17 ), now a corporate lobbyist, led the Democratic leadership's "blacklist" of vendors who worked for progressive primary challengers in 2019.

Nancy Pelosi fought progressives who supported popular policies like Medicare for All, net neutrality, and rooftop solar.

Opinion | Democrats Can Finally Stop Pandering to Farmers

Could someone send this op-ed to lobbyist Cheri Bustos, former DCCC chair from #IL17, and her son Nick, who lobby for the ethanol group IL Corn Growers Association with Mercury Public Affairs?

$90 billion in ag subsidies and tax credits for polluting biofuels:

DCCC Vendors Work for Corporations Lobbying Against Democratic Policies The DCCC has blacklisted vendors that work with progressive challengers, but it continues to pay those whose corporate clients work to block policies like net neutrality and Medicare for All.

In 2019, as chair of the DCCC, Cheri Bustos was responsible for implementing the "blacklist" against vendors who worked for progressive primary challengers.

Bustos, of #IL17, was fine with paying companies that battled net neutrality or a public health care option, popular Democratic policies:

When we stand up and speak loudly for our neighbors and our values, we develop stronger communities. So proud of everyone in #IL17 who showed up for #nokings this weekend!🇺🇸
