We need bold leadership in the Senate right now, and Illinois has created the blueprint for what’s possible when we put people first.

not what the people want to see.

The measures Trump and Republicans have taken over the past year are anything but “pro-life.” To claim that title while actively attacking Americans and their families is pure hypocrisy.

Wishing a Happy New Year to all in Illinois and around the globe. Here’s to 2026!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year’s Eve! Have fun, be safe, and ring in the new year with joy!

Thank you, 2025!

What a year! From protests to town halls to every day spent fighting for Illinoisans, 2025 has been a year to remember. The fight continues in 2026!

Every day, I am in awe of the bravery I see in people who know that now is the time to fight. To choose courage over comfort.

We need bold ideas in Washington, and as I’m traveling the state talking to voters, it’s clear that even $15 an hour isn’t enough to live on. That’s why I’m calling for a $25 federal minimum wage, so all Americans have the opportunity to thrive. #25toThrive

I was so grateful to join CityPoint Community Church yesterday for Sunday service! Thank you to Pastor Demetrius Davis, First Lady Karla Davis, all of the CityPoint Church officers, and friends like Jenny LeFlore for such a warm welcome.

If we’re going to meet this moment, we need real fighters in Washington. That’s what I’m hearing from Illinoisans, and that’s exactly what I plan to be.

What are you doing to stand up and be counted? Let us know below👇 or join the fight at the link in my bio!

Everything is under attack, from our rights to our ability to make a living. We need real fighters in the U.S. Senate, and that’s exactly what I’ll be.

I’m so grateful to have #TeamJuliana by my side for every step of this journey! Join the climb today at the link in my bio.

Happy Kwanzaa! May this time be filled with unity, culture, and celebration.

This Christmas, we celebrate a season rooted in light, love, and renewal. Wishing families across Illinois and the world a day filled with warmth, peace, and the joy of coming together with your loved ones!

This abortion ban will cost lives — the lives of servicemembers, veterans, and their families. You can’t claim to support our veterans while ripping away their freedom to make their own healthcare decisions. www.ms.now/news/abortio...

Always a great day when I get to see Santa on the @chicagocta.bsky.social!

A great holiday weekend spreading cheer with my friends Secretary Jesse White and Marseil Jackson, who are doing the work to bring give back to the community. Days like these fill my spirit and remind me of the power of coming together!

In Illinois, we protect our neighbors, and we don’t stand idly by as Trump and Republicans stomp on the Constitution. That doesn’t stop when the raids stop, and we will see accountability. @chrisdmowrey.bsky.social

Healthcare is a human right. Medicare for All isn’t “divisive” — dismissing it without an alternative is. Congressman Krishnamoorthi calling it a “noble goal” while offering nothing else is exactly why people are demanding change.

The Trump Administration’s attacks on our neighbors are intentional — they’re designed to instill fear. But we’ll keep raising our voices and protecting Illinoisans from this authoritarianism.

I had such a great time celebrating Christmas in the Wards this weekend with our incredible Chicago communities. One of my favorite traditions, this event serves as a reminder of our power when we come together for good!

I'm so grateful to have earned the endorsements of over 20 leaders across Champaign County! I'm running for U.S. Senate to represent all of Illinois, and I can't wait to bring the voices of these great public servants and community leaders with me. Let's do this!

Far too often, hard-working Americans fall short of their goals because they don’t have access to the opportunities they need. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to change that. Read my Blueprint for Creating Opportunity for the Middle Class at the link in my bio!

Palantir executives like Shyam Sankar are getting rich off of ICE's terror campaign in Chicago, and they've been laying this dangerous foundation for years. Despite this, my opponent took nearly $30,000 from Sankar. Values that stop when the fundraising starts, aren't values. They're talking points.

When I joined community organizers in the Back of the Yards neighborhood today, we saw ICE activity in the area and spent the afternoon making sure our neighbors know their rights and could get home safely.

For the past year, an "alcoholic's personality," "a conspiracy theorist," and "a right-wing absolute zealot" have been running our country. And those aren't my words, they're Susie Wiles'. Even Trump's own chief of staff knows this administration is a mess.

This move was intentional. Trump is actively working to erase our history and culture, but we won’t let him.

And less than 100 days until the election! I'm so proud of the grassroots movement we're building, and we're only gaining momentum. Join #TeamJuliana today at the link in my bio!

Congratulations to workers at the Adler Planetarium for voting to form a union last week! This is a huge step towards protecting and enhancing workers' rights, and a reminder that we are stronger when we stand together. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/12...

Wishing everyone a bright and joyful Hanukkah filled with peace, warmth, and love.

Thank you @dupagedemocrats.bsky.social for an amazing holiday celebration last night! I’m so grateful to our community and to be fighting alongside all of you!

Illinoisans struggling with holiday expenses know that affordability is no “Democrat scam.” If you’re looking for a real plan to make your life more affordable, check mine out at the link in my bio.

As Trump spends billions on everything but working families, Republicans are all but guaranteeing that healthcare costs will skyrocket. They don't care about making your life more affordable, they only care about lining their pockets and doing Trump's bidding. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

I'm so grateful to have earned the endorsement of Senator Tammy Baldwin, a true leader who never backs down from a tough fight. I look forward to serving alongside you in the U.S. Senate!

I’m so grateful to have earned the endorsement of IATSE Local 2 Chicago Stagehands! I know that together, we will continue fighting for workers across this great state.

Human Rights Day is not just about remembrance, it’s about responsibility, advocacy, and action to protect the dignity of all people. Let’s continue to speak out, stand united, and work towards a world where equity and justice are lived reality for all.

Trump’s ICE takeovers will do lasting damage to families, communities, and the economy. We won’t stand by silently as Trump takes his terror on to New Orleans, the Twin Cities, and more on a political crusade.

Democrats, we need to meet this moment with the same energy we’re seeing at the grassroots level. I’ve been part of this fight since day one, and I’m determined to take it all the way to Washington!

The more wannabe dictator Donald Trump tries to stamp us down, the harder we fight back. Just watch us.

In 100 Days, Illinois will have a choice. If you’re sick of the status quo and are ready for a bold fighter, you know who to vote for! #TeamJuliana

Here in Illinois, we’ve made sure you’ll always have access to the vaccines you need, regardless of the anti-science agenda coming out of Washington.

Happy Birthday to the American Postal Workers Union Local 0001! Your strong leadership over the past 119 years is invaluable, and I look forward to continue fighting alongside you for workers in Illinois.

I'm so proud of the coalition we're building, including our fellows on high school and college campuses across Illinois! Join #TeamJuliana today at the link in my bio!

Trump still thinks Pete Hegseth is "doing a great job." What about this is great? Every day Hegseth remains in charge of our national security is an embarrassment and a stain on our country. He needs to resign immediately.

I’m proud to be endorsed by @endcitizensunited.bsky.social, and I’m joining their Unrig Washington campaign to enact lasting reform to our political system. It’s simple: ✅ Refuse corporate PAC money ✅ Support a stock trading ban ✅ Crack down on dark money #ecuunrigwashington

On National Women Support Women Day, I’m so grateful to have such a strong community of women in my life. Women get things done, and when we support each other, there’s not a force in this world that can break us. Join Women for Juliana today at the link in my bio!
