I love the N. IL Food Bank and Sierra Club. BUT, I wish we lived in a country where they did not have to exist because the government ensured it's people had food and the environment was protected. Since we don't, I support Indivisible and Field Team 6.

Mockler: But I do want to say it's not impressive that the stock market is at all time highs. It's more impressive that Donald Trump was able to tank the stock market multiple times via his tariffs. The growth over the past nine months is slower than Biden's last nine months in office.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We must overturn Citizens United.

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

President Trump and the DOGE cowboys want to close and diminish critical agricultural research at the University of Illinois. The only other soybean lab like that in the world is in...China. Our President is ceding our agriculture research leadership to China.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Perryman on SNAP Ruling: The good news is that people and communities stepped forward. Federal judges interpreted the law, and now people can breathe a sigh of relief—not because of the White House or Republicans in Congress, but because of the bravery of our clients and the tenacity of our lawyers.

I remember when companies gave employees stock, pensions, and a livable wage. We need to remind them they would not have a company if it wasn’t for the their hardworking employees.

We’re investigating President Trump’s plans to turn the now-destroyed East Wing of the White House into a ballroom.

The president cannot use private fundraising and PR campaigns to avoid accountability when it comes to the People’s House.
