There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.

My two takeaways on this:

1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

This morning we dropped off 5,000+ petition signatures in Springfield, nearly 5x what we needed to get on the ballot.

IL-09 is ready for change, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you.

See you on the ballot on March 17.

We just turned in our petition signatures to the Illinois State Board of Elections!

Thank you to all of our volunteers and thousands of neighbors across the 6th District—we’re officially on our way to the ballot. This is what people-powered politics looks like.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
