We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper.

Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

New from me! I spoke with real federal auditors about what an actual audit looks like. Spoiler: what DOGE is doing is not it.

"In no uncertain terms is this an audit. It’s a heist, stealing a vast amount of government data.”

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

The National Park budget is $3 billion.

It produces $55 billion in revenue.

This isn’t about balancing a budget. It’s about Trump and Musk privatizing public lands to add to their rich buddies portfolios.

Next week, every Member of Congress will be home for recess and their constituents will have questions. If these Republicans and Rep. Golden truly believe this vote was the right choice, they should have no problem standing in front of their communities and explaining why. 👇

But let’s be clear: Trump and Musk don’t actually care about violence. If they did, they’d start with their own movement — the one that stormed the Capitol, attacks activists in the streets, and fuels political violence daily.

Trump and Musk want us to feel weak and alone so that we stay quiet.

The world’s richest man doesn’t want you to criticize him. He’s using his puppet (the President of the United States) to threaten the tools of the state against peaceful Americans expressing their opinions. Trump & Musk are trying to outlaw dissent & silence regular people who threaten their power.

Did y’all just see Elon on TV say he wants to cut Social Security???

The richest man in the world is out here telling you he wants to stop you from getting your own money back—while he rakes in $8 million a day of YOUR tax dollars to blow up rockets in the sky.

Death by idiocy & ignorance is coming.

Uganda has an Ebola outbreak. 12 Americans were exposed to it.

Uganda tried informing the US but its staff had gone.

There was no-one to answer the phone. No-one to set up border screening. No-one to liaise with WHO.

Madness.

Musk & DOGE have more than likely destroyed millions of dollars of useable food destined for starving children.

And what food does survive after being stuck in transit could now fall into the wrong hands.
