.@DanielBiss will be a critical partner in advancing bold progressive priorities in Congress. Because of his deep roots in the district and decades of service to Illinois, we are confident he will continue to build a broad coalition of local support. We are proud to endorse him.

My plea to Charlotte and the rest of the country is simple: get ready. Because when ICE or CBP shows up, fear will spread fast. But courage can spread faster.
Chicago-area mayor: Border Patrol and ICE terrorized our city. Here’s how you fight back, Charlotte

Can someone explain why Illinois has to do what Indiana does on redistricting…?
Gov. JB Pritzker said last week that he was "watching what Indiana does" on redistricting, suggesting that Illinois could "pair" with the Hoosier State in the same way CA Dems responded to TX Republicans. It was still viewed as highly unlikely. Now, even more so.

These people are creeps. Instead of raiding daycares and apartment buildings they need to raid the White House and get rid of these freaks.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

What does this even mean
There’s his Illinois and then there’s the rest of us. It’s time to close the gap. Let’s take our state back.

The third poll in a row shows our campaign out front, this time by double digits. We're pulling away from a crowded field, but there's still a long way to go in this race. Let's go!

.@CMDROpAtLargeCA: Come to Evanston, sit down with residents your agents have terrorized, and listen to them. Explain to my community, face to face, why you think this was warranted. I'll set it up whenever you're ready.
@DanielBiss Some Evanston residents found out what not to do. Don't assault federal agents. 🇺🇸 🇺🇲

Such a bizarre take. The concern isn’t losing “anti-Trump voters,” it’s failing to attract/turn out apolitical indys and weak partisans who think Dems don’t stand for anything They won’t remember the specifics next year but they will feel the vibes - and this saga doesn’t help.
It will have zero bearing on the midterms for the same reason the party’s self-inflicted and disastrous 2024 didn’t hurt Dems last Tuesday - the issue is Trump and it still will be next November Find me the anti-Trump voter who will sit out their best chance to check Trump bc of

Democrats have held the line through the longest government shutdown in history. We’ve demanded that Republicans reverse their catastrophic cuts that are sending our health care costs through the roof. We’ve fought Trump's SNAP cuts. We should hold strong now. We can win.

Throughout this shutdown, Democrats have shown that we have the backbone to actually fight for what we believe in: lower costs, accessible healthcare, and a Congress that can be a check on Trump’s chaos. Vague Republican promises are not enough — no deal without real progress on

More cruelty from an incompetent, heartless administration. And while SNAP gets cut, the wealthiest loot the government

Residents in some U.S. states began to receive their full SNAP food aid Friday as an appeals court left in place, for now, an order requiring President Donald Trump’s administration to fund s…

🧵 What federal agents are doing in Evanston right now is monstrous. On Halloween, when our families are supposed to be out enjoying the very best of our community, ICE and CBP are terrorizing Evanston and the northern suburbs while instilling fear across the Chicagoland area.
We are receiving numerous reports of ICE all over Evanston today, as well as other northern suburbs and the north side of Chicago. Please stay safe, stay alert, and call 855-435-7693 if you spot ICE, CBP, or other federal agents.

Ofelia Torres has spent almost every day of the past month at Lurie Children's Hospital, where the 16-year-old Lake View High School student is fighting cancer. ICE arrested her father. https://t.co/GIVb8orCSB

I wish we still had media reporters in Chicago so someone could get to the bottom of what happened with that very odd @WGNNews Instagram reel about their employee’s arrest that was posted — and then deleted — last night

imagine what this present moment would look like under Mayor Vallas
Still waiting for Mayor Johnson, CTU Pres. Gates, and Gov Pritzker to pause their anti Fed rhetoric long enough to comment on Chicago’s nation leading murders and shootings of school age youth now at 34 killed and 147 wounded this year. What are they going to do about it?

“Every single business and event should be forced to allow guns on premises” this post👇 essentially
Passing along a story from a follower who happens to be a female conceal carry holder. She was recently turned away from entering an event downtown Chicago because she had her firearm in her purse. She had to return her firearm to her car, blocks away and parked in a garage.

Trump admin is stepping up its criticism of anti-ICE Dems. The Dems who've been protesting ICE facilities and calling it fascist say they won't change a thing. https://t.co/q5aX8m7fC3
NOEM: We have seen Democrats out there take extreme positions. Their support of terrorists such as MS-13 and Tren de Aragua and seeing US senators go and have margaritas with them in a foreign country I think is a tragic thing to experience in the US COLLINS: Van Hollen said

Federal forces just tear gassed myself and the other peaceful protestors here at the Broadview ICE facility. This is a terrifying escalation, but we will not back down.
