I refuse to be bullied into silence by Trump, and you shouldn’t either. Together, we’re louder than his intimidation.

When I first ran for Congress, Will County wasn’t easy ground for Democrats. Today, it’s reliably blue—and that’s thanks to decades of organizing and commitment. Congrats to the Will County Democrats on 50 years! Proud to celebrate with you.

Thanks for noticing, Donald. I’ll always speak up, show up and stand up. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Big thanks to the LaSalle County Dems for hosting me today! Every community in Illinois is vital to our movement. I hear you, I see you, and I’m ready to keep working with you.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Al Llorens, IEA President. Al was a dedicated educator for over 30 years, always putting students first. I had the privilege of seeing his passion for public education and unions firsthand. My thoughts are with Wanda and his family during this time. #RIP

When ICE fires tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters, it’s not just cruelty—it’s an attack on our First Amendment rights. We must stand up.

Would you like to sign, circulate, and/or drop off petitions to help Robin Kelly run for the United States Senate?

Thank you Senator Chris Murphy. I look forward to continuing our partnership in the Senate to fight gun violence. Join us in this fight—chip in today: robinforsenate.com/donate

The gap between ICE’s story and Franklin Park body cam footage is alarming. A man is dead, shot and killed by federal agents—and the public deserves the truth. Just like at the Broadview detention center, we need answers, accountability, and transparency. chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

This guy. Dear Leader won’t even speak to people who share different views. Trump shutdown awaits. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Grateful for the chance to spend this evening in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood. Folks of all ages came out to our Community Conversation—your voices and commitment fuel the fight for a stronger future!

I want to wish everyone celebrating in Illinois a sweet and joyful New Year. Shanah Tovah!

Do you remember… the 21st night of September? 🎶✨ I spent the afternoon with the Livingston County Democrats at the Harvest Days Parade in Dwight! Rural communities keep Illinois strong—and I’ll always fight to help them thrive.

Thank you to the Illini Dems at U of I for a thoughtful conversation this morning. The energy and passion from the students give me hope for our future.

Yesterday, I visited the ICE detention center in Broadview. The boarded-up windows and doors raise troubling questions about what’s happening inside. I’m grateful to the neighbors on the ground demanding accountability and standing up for human rights.

I just got back from Washington DC and headed over to the ICE detention Center in Broadview. We deserve to know what they’re hiding behind those boarded up windows. #ice #broadview

These gestapo tactics are a betrayal of the values we swear to uphold. This is not the America we believe in. #ICE #broadview

FCC Chair Brendan Carr needs to come before Congress & explain himself #jimmykimmel

First Colbert and now Kimmel. Trump’s fragile ego got Colbert kicked off late night and now Trump’s FCC bullied ABC into suspending Jimmy Kimmel, and he’s calling for other late-night hosts to be fired. This is an abuse of power and an assault on free speech.

Black America is hurting the most from Donald’s abysmal economic policies. Black unemployment is increasing at its fastest rate since 2020. So much for “the best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln.” He can’t hold on to any jobs - not even “those Black jobs.”

As your Congresswoman — and your next U.S. Senator — I’ll keep fighting. Letting ACA tax credits expire means a 75% premium hike for nearly 20M Americans. Healthcare is unaffordable. It’s time for Medicare for All & quality care for every American. thehill.com/policy/healt...

More proof Donald’s ICE raids are about reality TV and not public safety. Families are being torn apart, children are living in fear and the President is inciting all of it with silly movies. We reject this entire show and will continue to stand with our immigrant communities.

Today is National Voter Registration Day! Be sure you’re registered to vote. Elections have consequences, and your voice matters! #IWillVote iwillvote.com?s=09

During Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the rich history, vibrant culture, and significant contributions of the Latino community to the story of Illinois and America.

From the National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 4016 tailgate to the Illinois Democratic Women of Will County candidates’ forum—it was a day full of energy and great dialogue. Thank you for having me!

I’m saddened to hear about the passing of former IL Governor Jim Edgar. He was a true public servant who led with integrity and kindness. He wasn’t afraid to reach across the aisle and taught the entire state important lessons in civility. He will be missed but his legacy will continue

What a great morning in Oak Park! Thank you to Senate President Don Harmon and the Democratic Party of Oak Park for the warm welcome. I loved engaging with folks and hearing about the issues that matter most—looking forward to building a stronger Illinois together.

Welcome to a newly sworn member of the People's House, @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social, now serving Virginia's 11th congressional district. Democratic Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @housedemocrats.bsky.social welcomed James' wife and son.

Thank you to The Michelangelo Signorile Show @msignorile.bsky.social for hosting a great conversation on @siriusxmprog.bsky.social on Friday.

Heartbroken to learn of the passing of my friend Porter McNeil. I last saw him at the Rock Island Dems’ Labor Day picnic, doing what he loved. Grateful he served on my transition team at DPI. He was a gifted communicator, proud dad & husband. May his memory be a blessing.

We’re in the 5th week of collecting signatures across the great state of Illinois, and we still need your help to get her on the ballot! Collecting petition signatures is one of the most crucial steps in this process, and we have several upcoming opportunities for you to make a meaningful impact.

Thank you to the Frankfort Township Dems for welcoming me tonight. Your growth and organizing are inspiring. I cannot wait to be your next U.S. Senator and look forward to seeing you again soon!

On this day 24 years ago, I remember exactly where I was when I got the news. Having grown up in New York City, the images were personal. I worried about friends and loved ones who might have been in harm’s way.

There is too much gun violence in America, period. Everyone deserves to feel safe in our country and political violence is unacceptable. I am thinking of Charlie Kirk and his family, as well as the heartbroken community in Colorado that has suffered a school shooting today.

Have they lost their minds? Trump and the GOP are declaring war on American cities and racially profiling people. We will not normalize this. We will not be silent. We are standing with our immigrant communities.

The rich keep getting richer while our neighbors are forced to choose between their prescriptions and their ComEd bills. I'm running for Senate because we need more voices in Washington fighting to make life easier for you, not more profitable for them.

“I want to help people, not hurt them.” Another Trump lie. He lies about violence, about Chicago, about everything. If he cared, he’d back proven anti-gun violence programs—not defund them. Instead, he makes it easier for criminals to get guns. Stop lying!

Spent the afternoon meeting voters across Aurora & North Aurora. Kicked off the day with my friend Alex Arroyo at Two Brothers Roundhouse and wrapped it up at Sage.

Chicago doesn’t need you, Donald.

While Trump is doing everything he can to divide our country, the Chicago Federation of Labor helped show what solidarity is all about! Thanks for welcoming me back to Eddie Fest this year.

Tough talk from a draft dodger. This made up movie poster is the closest President Bone Spurs has ever gotten to a real war. Chicago rejected you and we’ll do it again.

We’re in the 4th week of collecting signatures across the great state of Illinois, and we still need your help to get her on the ballot! Collecting petition signatures is one of the most crucial steps in this process, and we have several upcoming opportunities for you to make a meaningful impact.

Happy 7th anniversary to #RolandMartinUnfiltered and 4th anniversary to the Black Star Network! 🎉 I appreciate @rolandsmartin.bsky.social and his incredible team, and wish you many more years of success!

Unnecessary ICE arrests at domestic violence court are spreading more fear and intimidation. Survivors seeking safety shouldn’t worry about being targeted for deportation when they show up for justice.

Today, we remember the Little Rock Nine, a group of courageous students who began the process of desegregating the city's public schools. When mobs blocked the students from entering Little Rock Central High School, President Eisenhower ordered federal troops to escort the students into the school.

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of joining NALC Branch 11 for their Labor Day Picnic. Our letter carriers keep our communities connected—we must ensure they’re supported and protected on the job.

I commend the bravery of the Epstein survivors who came to Capitol Hill this week to share their stories. The exploitation and abuse they endured is horrific. We must stand with them and support their demands for truth and transparency. We can start by demanding that DOJ release the Epstein files.

This clown cut vital funding for programs with a proven track record of preventing violence and supporting victims. This isn't about lowering crime, it's an assault on cities run by Black mayors in blue states. chicago.suntimes.com/donald-trump...

Trump can talk all he wants. His authoritarian tactics would be the biggest national crime wave we've ever seen. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Closed out Labor Day weekend at the 35th Annual African Festival of the Arts! A vibrant celebration of African art, music, food & culture. Big thanks to Dr. Ewa & his team for keeping this tradition alive and thriving.
