Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No!

I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary.

Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

8 more federal prosecutors in Minnesota are leaving the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota & that's after 6 other prosecutors, including Assistant US Attorney Joe Thompson, left due to pressure from the DOJ to investigate Renee Good’s widow.

This administration is a dumpster fire!

Today, I'm proud to announce that we've erased over $1.1 billion in medical debt for more than half a million Illinoisans.

No one should be forced to choose between life-saving care and feeding their families.

Stay tuned for more news on affordability in Illinois tomorrow.
