Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court. This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

As you can tell, I'm standing up to this administration despite the charges against me. But I can't do it alone. A lot of people running for office say this, but it's true that your support is more important now than ever: katforillinois.com/legal

I love and admire Ben for many reasons, and one of them is how perfectly he is able to distill the pathetic-ness of the right and instill hope and solidarity in everyone else around him. Anyway, go read his interview with the biggest Spanish newspaper here: english.elpais.com/technology/2...

"really mean and weird" sums these people up just about perfectly

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

This should alarm everyone. On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.” It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025. THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

Rep. Dan Goldman (D) has requested an investigation into ICE Supervisor Victor Mojica, who allegedly assaulted a woman by slamming and then smashing a wall into the ground, causing severe head injuries.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social, for some of us, this was never about the optics of making healthcare an issue. This was about preventing a premium spike for 20 million Americans. The private insurance system is broken. This is the time we need to be screaming from the rooftops: Medicare for All!

hot people boycott starbucks btw

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

We are calling on the following traitors to the American people to immediately RESIGN, for voting with MAGA to re-open the government without any concessions to save the ObamaCare subsidies millions of Americans rely on. These chickshit Dems just threw away 40 days of leverage, betraying millions.

FU Kim Davis. 34 years so far with this man and you're not going to ruin our joy. 🏳️‍🌈

This is news our family and our community needed this morning. I bet you did, too.

Never forget 👇

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

@durbin.senate.gov You failed not just Illinois, but America when she needed you the most. I wish you were running for reelection so that you could see us choose a better candidate in cold, hard numbers, but I'll settle for the knowledge that your legacy will be one of cowardice and compromise.

They caved🤬 There wasn’t even a way to leave a message for Durbin on any of his phone lines

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Wait for it... youtube.com/shorts/DNqOx...

Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari was outside Mike Johnson's office today holding up a sign that read: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND."

Thousands of people rallied in Washington, D.C. on November 5th, protesting the Trump regime's fascism, ICE ethnic cleansing, massive corruption, economy breaking tariffs, cruel policies, and the US government shutdown covering up the Epstein files. "Trump Must Go Now" #3E #RefuseFascism #NoKings

This vile creature is not bizarre, she’s legitimately insane.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

“Laimore testified that the sandwich ‘exploded all over’ his chest &[…]he could smell mustard&onions but photo showed [it] was still in its wrapper on the ground after [hitting]his bulletproof vest.” “This case,ladies&gentlemen of the jury,is about a sandwich.” lol www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

This ICE goon needs to be charged with aggravated murder. www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

Mamdani is a BIG improvement—but he’s a mild reformer. He wants to raise taxes on the wealthy a few percent and use the money to help New Yorkers. He is the rare politician not on the take. But the system remains rotten to the core. We The People have more to do. youtu.be/W1_sB5AAhc4?...

The jurors did not swallow the government's case They had no appetite to convict The government tried to get them to bite, but couldn't So the jurors spit out an acquittal
