I joined TesterUp v2.testerup.com?r=37833553 to get paid for playing two games I already love (Crossword Master & Easy Words). I have also not lost a game of Spades yet, but I already knew I was a solid Spades player. TesterUp can ask me to do these kind of surveys all day too. Love em! #politicssky

I’m pleased with the court’s ruling, and will continue to stand with my colleagues against the Trump administration’s illegal and dangerous attempts to coerce states into compliance with the president’s political agenda: tinyurl.com/bdeydk43

Today is a big win for Illinois and American democracy. I am glad the Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump did not have the authority to deploy the federalized guard in Illinois.

41:40 I fact-checked D.L. Hughley's comment about Texas having the most sex offenders in U.S. youtu.be/t3QGcuiET4c?... That made me wonder where Chicago (Illinois) was on that list: 75,710 sex offenders vs 34,056. www.safehome.org/data/registe... Yet, Trump is saying WE'RE crime-ridden? Oh. OK.

“Evanston is safe in spite of ICE/CBP, not because of it,” Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss said on socials. “But I am so proud of our people who showed up and chased you out of town. Don’t come back.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/12/17/b... Biss appeared again while ICE kidnapped two people at Home Depot.

I'll never understand why Chrisean got ANY of these tattoos of him in the first place, but at least she is getting them removed. I had tattoo laser surgery before (three sessions). Never on my face nor do I have a face tattoo. It is nonstop rubber band popping. Pow! Pow! www.tmz.com/2025/12/17/b...

Right-to-die legislation: Terminally ill people will have the option to end their own lives with a doctor’s prescription in Illinois next year, under legislation signed by Gov. JB Pritzker on Friday. chicago.suntimes.com/politics/202...

Our neighbors in Indiana have stood up to Trump's threats and political pressure, instead choosing to do what's right for their constituents and our democracy. Illinois will remain vigilant against his map rigging — our efforts to respond and stop his campaign are being heard.

The biggest problem, yes. The second would be the pathetic old guard democrats that can't even be bothered to support Medicare for All.

So the 8 #Democrat Senators who caved on shutdown got their vote on #ACA funding extension today And as expected it was easily defeated by #gop They literally won nothing to end the shutdown that was clearly being blamed on #GOP and #trump These people should all be primaried at next opportunity

Really? Didn't think they had it in them

Well, I was not expecting this to happen. 🤯 😲 🤔

THANEDAR: It is a fact that you ignored federal court orders in March and in May of this year. Do you plan on ignoring federal orders? NOEM: We always comply with all federal court orders THANEDAR: I'm sick of your lies

🔥Rep. Bennie Thompson to Noem: “You have put your own interests ahead of the department and violated the law. You are making 🇺🇸 less safe. I call on you to resign— do a real service to the country. That is, if Trump doesn’t fire you first.”

In 2025, 24,000 people in our district received tax credits that lowered their monthly health insurance bill. There are 7 days left for Congress to save affordable healthcare, keeping families healthy and safe.

This is exactly why I like voting at home. I can look up judges to see what I have learned about them since the last election. The punishment should come down on the property owners not taking care of the building, not the tenants who were minding their business before Kristi Noem and ICE broke in.

A Cook County judge denied a request today to provide more time and relocation 💰 to tenants being forced to leave a South Shore building that was raided by federal agents. #blacksky Instead of raiding it, how about fixing it? Meanwhile Kristi Noem's goofy ass was at Navy Pier like it is all good.

After another weekend of failed budget negotiations, Mayor Brandon Johnson said Monday he is open to negotiating details of his already rejected proposed corporate head tax in hopes of averting an unprecedented city government shutdown that he says “benefits nobody.”

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!

No one should have to choose between heat in winter and financial security. @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social and I continue to fight for lower utility bills and transparent, simple pricing so every household can breathe easier and stay warm.
