On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

This morning we dropped off 5,000+ petition signatures in Springfield, nearly 5x what we needed to get on the ballot. IL-09 is ready for change, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you. See you on the ballot on March 17.

When humans look at something we find beautiful our brains release dopamine, lifting mood & if we connect with what we're looking at oxytocin, giving us a sense of belonging.

Just heard a national radio network news announcer refer to the New York Mafia families of Gambino, Genovese, and "LouChasey"....

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Rain forecast for Chicago/midwest on 10/18

Remember when Hillary Clinton got excoriated for calling Trump supporters “deplorables”

Of course he will. She probably has copies of every single video that DOJ has, if not more. It's a powerful bargaining chip.

"Call me Ishmael. And then - when you find the time of course - call me with those #EpsteinFiles."

Opposing counsel is led by Patrick Fitzgerald. Let the mismatch shenanigans begin!

This is Annie. She is a dental therapy dog. Her job is to help patients experiencing anxiety by providing emotional support.

Let me suggest that if I have tanks invade my city, that if the courts declare me a second-class citizen, that if masked men abduct my neighbors, and I go to you, my rep, and say “help me fight my persecutors,” and you say “shush, talk about healthcare subsidies,” you, too, are my persecutor

A large and loud U.S. Army helicopter just flew over the north side of Chicago. Dark green color with a white star near the rear of the body. Not an Osprey aircraft.
