My mom is helping as many individuals as she can in Chicago. She’s a bilingual attorney close to retirement, but wants to do more. Proud of her. She didn’t go to law school until her forties. She was a domestic worker and had four children.
We are given gifts and opportunities to be of service.

IRS has furloughed nearly half of its workforce, shuttering most operations.

After a five-day reprieve following the shutdown, employees are being notified of widespread service stoppages. But implementation of GOP tax cuts is slated to continue.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 14h

My statement after Senate Republicans blocked my legislation with @schiff.senate.gov to stop the continued use of U.S. Armed Forces in the southern Caribbean Sea without specific authorization by Congress:

Blue background with the following text: "Americans want fewer wars—not more—and our Constitution clearly grants Congress alone the power to declare one. Yet President Trump has repeatedly launched illegal military strikes in the Caribbean, and has refused to provide Congress with basic information about who was killed, why the strikes were necessary, and why a standard interdiction operation wasn’t conducted. Should this lawless Administration drag our servicemembers into an escalating conflict without a specific authorization by Congress, every American will be able to tell from today’s vote if their senators tried to stop it, or rolled over."

Happening now: We are in court fighting the state’s unconstitutional book ban — passed as SB775 —that led to the immediate removal of hundreds of books from school libraries. We will always stand to protect student’s First Amendment right to access information.
