Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

I’m not gonna lie: when I watched Kamala Harris compose herself, and uphold the dignity of her office and the sanctity of her responsibility while presiding over the certification today, it really fucking hurt me.

President Biden will hand Trump and Musk a stellar economy
Plus tons of infrastructure projects funded by the Inflation Reduction Act
Watch Trump attempt to take credit for it all
Even as he tries to repeal the very laws which rescued us from the disaster he created

GDP has risen 12.6 percent over Biden’s tenure, far outpacing both predictions made even before Covid became a household name and growth in other advanced countries.
Bidenomics Was Wildly Successful
The president’s domestic record wasn’t just extraordinary. It might put Democrats back in power in four years.

Being Governor of Illinois is one of the great honors of my life — and one of my favorite parts is getting to talk with Illinoisans about the work we're doing to get big things done.
I'm excited to officially launch my account here and share updates with you all.

To me the most infuriating thing is that the media & voters “prefer” Republicans on the economy despite that being quantifiably ridiculous

I have formed an exploratory committee to run for Congress in #CA32 against Congressman Brad Sherman in 2026.
This district in Los Angeles, which has been my home for more than 20, needs a more exciting voice and fresh ideas and Sherman will have served in Congress for almost three decades!
