It’s time to call this what it is: an invasion of Illinois. But we’re already fighting back, and we will continue until Trump takes his hands off our state.

The right to vote is the right to have a voice. It’s our most direct source of power, and I will always fight to protect it from Trump and Republicans’ attacks.

This moment requires courage. It's on all of us to stand up, speak out, and push back against Donald Trump's authoritarian agenda.

Donald Trump is not a normal president and he's not a normal person.

On the International Day of Nonviolence, we’re reminded that real strength comes from unity, compassion, and love, not hate and division. This is a dark chapter for our country, but peace and justice will always win out. The good will prevail.

Statistics like these are a failure of our systems. These deaths are preventable, with solutions as simple as sharing information and speaking up about the issue. I'm proud to have launched the Birth Equity Initiative in Illinois, but our work is far from over. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/01/s...

Black babies die suddenly, unexpectedly at 14 times the rate of white babies in Cook County, report says

“Babies are dying simply because mothers don’t have the information and the support that they need.”

Breast cancer affects the lives of so many Illinoisans, and my heart goes out to each of you. I will never stop fighting for you to have access to quality, affordable healthcare and supporting research for a cure.

I hear you, Illinois. Life is too expensive. I'll bring your needs and your voices to the U.S. Senate – and I've got plans to address the issues that matter to you most. Read my Blueprint for Making Life More Affordable at julianastratton.com.

This has been Trump's plan all along – it's a page out of the authoritarian playbook. But in Illinois, we won’t bow to bullies and we won't be intimidated by a coward masquerading as a king.

This is how freedom dies: chaos manufactured, then weaponized. Neighbors torn from the streets by masked troops. Peaceful protestors assaulted. If you love democracy — if you love this country — you already know this is wrong. Don’t look away. Don’t stay silent.

Dozens of ICE agents were spotted in downtown Chicago early Sunday afternoon. The agents, some of whom were masked, were walking north on Michigan Avenue from Millennium Park toward Tribune Tower.

This moment is scary, and people are rightfully worried about the chaos and destruction coming out of the Trump administration. But Illinois, we’ve got your backs.

This week, I traveled to Washington, D.C. for the CBC Annual Legislative Conference. I’m grateful to Black Women’s Agenda, Congressman Danny Davis, Higher Heights, and so many others for hosting powerful gatherings. I’m heading home inspired, energized, and ready to keep fighting!

Donald Trump is targeting his opponents and weaponizing the DOJ to do his dirty work. Our Justice Department shouldn’t be run by the social media ramblings of a wannabe dictator. This is blatant autocracy — it’s unacceptable and unAmerican.

Former FBI Director James Comey indicted following pressure from Trump

The president recently suggested the attorney general should prosecute Comey and other prominent critics. Comey was charged with making a false statement and obstruction.

In our broken healthcare system, everyone benefits but us. My opponents @rajaforil.bsky.social and @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social have taken millions from players in the healthcare industry while premiums rise and Illinoisans struggle. I'll be a fighter for you, not healthcare execs and Big Pharma.

It’s not normal to ignore laws that have protected us since the Civil Rights era. Trump and his accomplices at HUD need to be held accountable.
