A government office worker who helps seniors and the disabled with social security benefits shared her emotional response to the government shutdown. Essential government workers like her haven't been paid in four weeks. The pressure of it all has led to panic attacks: "We don't deserve this."

I’m the first congressional candidate to be indicted under the second Trump administration.

But if things keep going the way they are, I won’t be the last.

That’s why I need to fight these charges with everything we’ve got. Help us do that here: katforillinois.com/legal

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

Let's help Clay out here with some math.

The $4200/yr. is for a household. Average SNAP household has 1.9 people. So that's $2210/person.

$2210/year is $184/month, and that's a little over $6. per day.

Clay, let's see you stockpile groceries on $6/day.

Hell, let's see you eat on $6/day.

People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.

That’s why I’m running on:

- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

I call it “the circle of stupid“
1.create a problem. 2.Everyone is concerned. 3. send staff to fix it.
4. It’s still a problem.
5.Then you close the circle by trying to get credit for what staff did.
6. It would have been way better if you left it alone in the first place.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.
