We have a government conducted by self-interested opportunists and zealots beholden to the interests, the ego, and the whims of a single man—an individual who can only accurately be described as a sociopath utterly incapable of truthfulness, honor, decency, integrity, conscience and remorse.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

You have heard about the line in the sand between the Hegseth and Anthropic AI. The decision by Anthropic and the threats by both the President and Hegseth. Now watch this video clip, especially the end where Professor Russel speaks. And think about the future. youtu.be/M7mIX_0VK4g?...

One big problem with Trumps “retirement plan.” They will match up to 1000 per year… but now companies can dump their employees off the company plan which matches way more…. Onto the govt plan. It’s a corporate handout… again

Trump promised: "I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.” Day one came and went. So did year one. Costs keep going up.

These are uncertain times, but Illinois will keep pushing forward. I'll keep walking with you—mile after mile.

Donald Trump’s plan to steal the 2026 midterm elections is already underway.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

The President's speech was just what we expected, all dishonesty & self-aggrandizement while he continues to ignore the real problems Americans are facing because of HIS decisions.
