Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Freudian slip or the first honest thing he’s said in months?

🚨 ICYMI: Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's coordinated network, GOARN, to protect the people of this state. We will continue to put science, preparedness, and people first. Period.

I am grateful for the endorsement of my Congressional colleagues. We’ve stood together in the toughest fights & we always keep the people first as the conscience of the caucus. This endorsement affirms that I will continue to be a champion for the Black community & all 30 million Texans.

Stratton, Biss and Morita were already on my "yes" list. Gotta do more research on the other three. I don't know them. 👀 💻

President Trump signed a law to block Planned Parenthood and other health centers that provide abortions from receiving Medicaid reimbursements, even for other essential health care services. We fought back in court. #ILAGFightsFedOverreach

The one for refugees under 18 is ridiculous. And the one regarding someone unhoused is even dumber. Having an address to apply for jobs is already complicated enough. 🤦🏾‍♀️

$10,000 reward is being offered to anyone w/information on the fatal shooting of a 36-year-old city employee found slain in her West Ridge home Friday. Officers found her suffering from gunshot wounds inside an apartment in the 6900 block of North Bell Avenue. blockclubchicago.org/2026/02/08/c...

Keep resisting, keep standing up, and keep speaking out, Illinois.

Donald Trump always has a plan to get cash fast for himself, but never for you.

Here in Illinois, we're taking the stress and fees out of applying to our public universities and community colleges. With OneClick College Admit, we're setting students of all backgrounds up for lifelong success with just their GPA.

Six of the top 500 universities in the WORLD are in Illinois, with University of Chicago ranking 5th.

Your voice matters.  If Secretary Noem’s immigration enforcement has directly affected you, I encourage you to come forward and share your story. robinkelly.house.gov/impeachment-...

The West Chicago Elementary School District 33 board announced Thursday during a school board meeting that it had accepted the voluntary resignation of a Gary Elementary School teacher posting support for ICE. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/s...

I will continue to defend science-backed emission standards that lower prices for consumers while protecting the environment and our health: bit.ly/4aBeIIb

After our lawsuit, the Trump administration is dropping its threat to withhold billions in education funding if New York doesn't abandon our DEI and anti-discrimination programs and policies. I'll always fight for our students and our schools.

Donald Trump just lost in court again to Illinois. He’s never had the right to withhold child care funds for Illinoisans — and the District Court’s preliminary injunction tonight has only affirmed that further.

WTF happened to @abc7chicago.bsky.social? I just read a report regarding Mayor Johnson asking CPD to document ICE's behavior as "made a big deal about" it. "Made a big deal"? That's your report? Passed thru journalists, editorial staff and published like that? 🙄 I muted the channel on my news feed.

The Trump Administration claims that diversity initiatives violate the Equal Protection Clause and anti-discrimination laws. Just because someone dislikes diversity, does not make it illegal. See how we are fighting back. #ILAGFightsFedOverreach

Illinois joins World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network www.wandtv.com/news/illinoi...

Illinois’ public universities have reached a 10-year high in enrollment. Thanks to the investments we’ve made in education, we’re fostering world-class talent and the next generation of leaders. It’s a win for our schools, our businesses, and our state.

In 2025 the Trump Administration froze SNAP benefits for almost 2 million Illinois residents who rely on food assistance to feed their families. We filed a lawsuit, and SNAP benefits were restored. Here’s what happened. #ILAGFightsFedOverreach

Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network. I refuse to sit by as Donald Trump undermines science and weakens our nation's ability to detect and respond to global health threats.

Mayor Brandon Johnson Tuesday defended his decision to order Chicago police officers to document alleged abuses by federal immigration agents for potential felony prosecution after the county’s top prosecutor questioned his plan’s “legality.”

This year marks 100 years of celebrating Black history. Now more than ever, it is critical that we teach our history, preserve our history, and continue to make history. Black history is American history.
 Happy Black History Month.

From Chicago and I was thinking this same thought! 🙏🏾

Black history is American history, and we're proud to celebrate the rich stories and contributions that have shaped our state—and continue to shape our future. Happy Black History Month, Illinois!

So no one is going to mention that the 4 journalists arrested yesterday all identified as Black? From @murielvieux.bsky.social www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and Donald Trump’s other lackeys should find lawyers because they must be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to our country.

🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court will hear oral argument on March 23rd in the RNC’s lawsuit challenging Mississippi’s grace period for mail ballots, which Democracy Docket founder @marcelias.bsky.social will be defending. A ruling to ban grace periods could upend mail voting nationwide.

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Harvey Mayor Christopher Clark this morning. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. May his memory be a blessing.

Get Illinois state Rep. Adam Niemerg, R-Dieterich, out of the House. His horrendous logic defending ICE makes him unfit to serve. He dismissed another rep voting against funding as "Trump derangement syndrome." www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/art... #chicagovoting #chicagoelection #politicssky

Illinois deserves a Senator who will fight for our values and stand up to Donald Trump. That's @julianastratton.bsky.social—and tonight, she'll prove it once again on the debate stage.

A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor. ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

Sean Grayson, a former Illinois sheriff’s deputy, was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in prison for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, a Black woman who dialed 911 to report a possible prowler by her Springfield home. He killed her over pouring boiling water out...and racism. apnews.com/article/sony...

In January of 2025, the Trump administration illegally froze nearly all federal funding. Billions of dollars for hospitals, school lunches, and infrastructure were revoked with Congress’ approval We filed a lawsuit, and we won. Watch for more info. #ILAGFightsFedOverreach

Trump’s Spending Bill means fewer people will have food on their table – by design. He's forcing states like Illinois to create more bureaucracy for families to get the help they need. All this to support tax breaks for the rich.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard of anybody driving to the police station to get away from the Feds. 🤯😲 Illinois' TRUST Act prohibits local police from aiding in federal immigration enforcement. abc7chicago.com/amp/post/fed...

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

ICE is a threat to public safety. Killing U.S. citizens. Kidnapping Americans. Ignoring the Constitution. That’s not law enforcement — that’s weaponization and abuse of power. And the cruelty starts at the top.

Sending Tom Homan to Minnesota is like pouring gasoline on a fire. The chaos is the point — let’s stop sending Trump officials in and start sending Trump’s agents home.

Who’s next? One demotion cannot detract from accountability. Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.

When President Trump activated 300 Illinois Guard members and sent 400 Texas guard members to our state, he had no lawful reason to do so. We filed a lawsuit challenging the unlawful deployment. Our case made it to #SCOTUS and we won. See how and why. #ILAGFightsFedOverreach
