On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

No fingerprint or DNA tests were conducted in Jeffrey Epstein's cell after his death. Sus AF.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

Laura Loomer said that she is no longer supporting the Republican Party.

It’s because the Trump Administration has agreed to establish a Qatari Air Force facility on United States soil.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Abbott is saying that removing rainbow 🌈 crosswalks & flags are because they’re political statement

New Rules?

Since the ordinance is about policing political statements, when such representations of Trump & Confederate ideology are found, file city, county, & state complaints
