One year ago, Donald Trump ran for president, promising to make our groceries cheaper and our streets safer. Instead, he's raising costs with chaotic tariffs and abusing innocent Chicagoans. https://t.co/PplWx3aBfk

This weekend, @aldknudsen, @senatorsara6, and I visited a food drive at the Lincoln Park Farmers Market to support @Care_FF.. Thank you to everyone who pitched in. With Trump holding #SNAP hostage, it’s encouraging to see so many Chicagoans supporting their neighbors.

Federal agents pepper-sprayed a baby girl in Little Village this weekend. There's no limit to what these thugs will do. To make Chicago safe again, we need ICE and CBP to get the hell out of our city. #ice #chicago

This deal fails on the one thing we promised to deliver for the American people. Millions of Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket, and we have nothing more to reassure them with than the hope that Senate Republicans and Speaker Johnson will do the right

Families are struggling to pay their bills, put food on the table, and afford healthcare. Yet President Trump is refurbishing a new jet, taking golf trips, and sending money to Argentina to bail them out. What about hardworking Americans?

ICE just arrested the father of a special needs child — during his job as a landscaper with a work permit. This is what is happening in Chicago. ICE is targeting hardworking parents with kids who need them. https://t.co/8nkhXal2Gd

Teachers reached out to the child’s mother, Ingrid Guanume, who told them federal immigration agents had taken her husband, Brayan Plata.

The #RepublicanShutdown has to end. Families are going hungry and workers need to get paid. All while healthcare premiums continue to rise. @HouseDemocrats want to make a deal — but we need Republicans to come to the table.
The U.S. government has now been shut down for 35 days, tying the record for the longest shutdown in history which was set in 2018-2019. Donald Trump was president during both shutdowns.

Preschool is supposed to be a safe place where children can grow and learn. But because of “Operation Midway Blitz,” it’s now a place where children see masked, armed federal agents looking to disappear their teachers.
