Anyone with eyes can see this POTUS has zero deference in eyes of Constitution. Funny how he tries to pick the parts he can exploit, and ignores the rest. Nothing this regime does is legal; nothing like trying to eliminate races and political parties in these non-United States

Open enrollment starts this week. It's past time for the House GOP to return to work.

Let's protect health care, lower costs, and reopen the government.

They may not act like it, but even Republicans know we have to take on skyrocketing health care costs.

To prove it, @mcbride.house.gov and I got together to connect Republicans with their own words about this crisis.

It's time for them to put their money where their mouths are.

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity

Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life.

It aids fascism.

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)

to the Aurora Police

following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests

So here it is!

Hello Chief and APD Leadership,

I just wanted to jot a quick thank you note for those who participated in this meeting with the Latino community about ICE in our neighborhoods.

Sadly, this problem is not going away anytime soon. Historically, the police have been on the wrong side of history during the civil rights movement and the labor movement - defending capital. The pivotal points in American history are when police realized that their solidarity should be with labor; not capital.

Labor vs. police: Learning from working-class history Workers World

In this current struggle, I believe that we are 2-3 years away from a moment where we see the shift in solidarity.

I would like to see Aurora lead, and show something different. It will create discomfort during the transformation. I noticed during the march towards Blue Kangaroo, when the police escort disappeared, that activists I didn't know used their vehicles to block the intersections and protect the marchers.

All living things have the capacity to evolve and grow. Government is about to go through a huge evolutionary period and shed that which is not necessary, and re-focus on what is important.

As government continues to disintegrate from the top down, we have an opportunity to re-invent the ways we find food, water, shelter and protection.

We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different, leave our mark in the history books, and make a difference. I'm excited about the opportunity and look forward to discussing it further.

Respectfully, John Laesch Mayor, City of Aurora laesch@aurora.il.us

Yes climate breakdown means more turbulence for flyers.

It’s also on track to heat the planet by 4C+ this century, kill billions of people & collapse our civilization.

Keep on seeing the deadliest crisis our species has ever faced framed as some minor consumerist inconvenience.

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.

I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

Governor JB Pritzker today signed Executive Order 2025-06 to establish the Illinois Accountability Commission (IAC), an independent board tasked with capturing and creating a public record of the conduct of federal law enforcement agents and recommending actions to hold the federal government accountable as they continue conducting military-style operations in Chicago, collar counties, and other areas throughout the state.

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary.

It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability.

We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

Trump’s agents have detained innocent American citizens and residents, from children asleep in their homes to an Alderman’s staffers.

All demanding proof of citizenship, without probable cause, with only the victim’s skin color as a reason.

This isn't about crime or safety.

“These federal agents are operating lawlessly, demonstrating utter disregard for our constitutional rights,” Ald. Mike Rodriguez (22nd Ward) said.

Illinois has now achieved its 10th credit rating upgrade since I took office.

It reflects our continued growth in financial standing and speaks volumes to our state's commitment to fiscal discipline.

With each upgrade, it means saving Illinoisans millions of dollars.

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.
