Trump can only think about one thing but Dems can walk and chew gum. We’re thinking about gas prices, illegal wars, a national housing crisis, ballooning medical debt…AND the Epstein files.  #Epstein #iran #gasprices #trump #bluewave

IDCCA is proud of all of our BootCamp alumni over the years, but Cook County Clerk Monica Gordon holds a special place in the lineup. Keep holding the line on access, fairness and impartiality in our elections, Clerk! #elections #freeandfair #traindemocrats #bluewave #youngleaders

2026 might have been the best BootCamp yet! Thanks to all who participated - we’re excited to watch you make history! #Electdems #democrats #midterms #bluewave #traindems

Boot Camp is right around the corner and we can’t wait! Let’s build a better future together, Illinois!

IDCCA is excited to announce the end of 2026 County Conventions and 22 NEW Democratic County Chairs! We have work ahead of us, but no one works as hard as Illinois Dems! Let’s make the greatest blue wave our state has ever seen! #countyconventions #democrats #illinoisdems #countychairs #grassroots

IDCCA wishes a Happy Mother’s Day to all of Illinois’s mothers, grandmothers, and maternal figures. Today, we celebrate the people who nurture our communities and reaffirm our commitment to policies that help every family thrive. 💐

How out of touch can you get? It’s time to make America work for working people again. #trump #marieantionette #ballroom #whitehouse #iran

This is a dark moment. But as long as there are people brave enough to speak the truth, there is hope. Illinois Dems won’t stop calling out MAGA and the damage they threaten to our democracy and our future. We’re not done fighting. #votingrightsact #scotus #justice #notgoingback

Congratulations to Chair Lisa Hernandez on your reelection as Chair of the @illinoisdems.bsky.social. We look forward to our continued partnership as we work to build a stronger Democratic Party throughout Illinois. Full statement at >>> idcca.org/idcca-congra...

Thank you for everything, Leader Curie. Your memory will strengthen us in the good fight ahead.

Still too extreme for Illinois.  #darrenbailey #illinoisgovernor #jbpritzker #illinoisdems #maga

At our core the IDCCA is a training organization to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Thank you @IWIL_Academy for inviting Exec Director Kovats to train the Class of 2026 on voter contact and field operations.

Abandoning your faith for a guy you used to HATE is a new low for J(ust) D(ance) Vance. @pontifex for the record, we don’t like this dude either. #popeleo #trumpandpope #jdvance #iranwar #catholicism

Throwback Thursday!!!! But also Tea Leaves Thursday? Illinois Dems have another cycle of big wins coming our way - we can feel it in the air!! #huffpost #news #dems #illinoisdems #midterms2027

New GOP messaging strategy just dropped: don’t believe your eyes—believe us. Maybe George Orwell will sue over intellectual rights? #1984 #dystopian #trump #propoganda #wariniran

Enough is enough. #25thNOW #trump #iran #war #universalchildcare

After years of dodging constituents, it’s time for Rep. LaHood to show up. If you see these billboards, snap a pic and tag @ILDCCA—visibilty is key in bringing this man back to the folks he’s accountable to. #DarinLaHood #Accountability #DoYourJob #IllinoisPolitics #IL16

Ask your doctor if Reality™ is right for you. DISCLAIMER: In clinical trials, Reality™ showed little to no effect in treating chronic denial, extreme partisanship, or long-term indifference to constituents. #IllinoisPolitics #ILPolitics #IllinoisGOP #ILDems #PrimaryTurnout

Congratulations to Democratic Nominee Margaret Croke!

Congratulations to Democratic Nominee for US Senate, @julianaforillinois!

Nothing changes after Kristi’s firing— it won’t bring back Alex Pretti or Renee Good, free people detained in unsafe conditions, or reunite families living in fear. But history reminds us: those who capitulate to authoritarianism rarely find protection from it. #kristinoem #dhs #ice #cbp #midterms

URGENT: With changes to USPS protocols, there’s more reason than ever to get your mail ballot in early! Go for GOLD whenever you can — return your ballot to a secure drop box as soon as possible. If you can’t, aim for SILVER or BRONZE — but don’t let your ballot be the one left off the podium.

FACT CHECK #sotu #trumplies #affordability #midterms #magasucks

ANSWER: What Trump finds “very, very sad” is the arrest of former Prince Andrew in regard to his dealings with Epstein. What do WE find VERY, VERY SAD? The DOJ’s withholding of documents because that contain allegations against Trump. VERY, VERY SAD. #epstein #pambondi #doj

What’s that saying you guys like…”F$%K your feelings”? We don’t care if you’re disappointed - give us our money back! #trump #tarrifs #scotus #tarrifssupremecourt #supremecourtruling o

HOOPLA ALERT: TrumpRX literally just lists the current cash prices of drugs. Nothing else. #hooplah #trumprx #trump #drugs #ozempic

Illinois lost a giant today. Rev. Jesse L. Jackson was more than a national civil rights leader — he fought for jobs, justice, school funding, and dignity for communities too often ignored. May we honor his legacy by continuing the work. Rest in power, Rev. Jackson.

Wuh-wuh-wuh-WHAT?! The man found liable of sexual abuse, who bragged about groping women without their permission and said on camera, multiple times, that he’d like to date his own daughter is in the Epstein files? We’re shocked! #epstein #trumpepstein #epsteinfiles #pambondi #ghislainemaxwell

Unacceptable and disgusting. But we know justice will prevail. #epstein #pambondi #epsteinfiles #trumpepsteincoverup #justice

President Guethle and County Chairs had the pleasure of meeting with DNC Chair Ken Martin yesterday. The Blue Wave is coming and it’s starting in Illinois! #KenMartin #DNC #democrats #BlueWave2026 #MIDTERMS2026

Despite Trump’s attempts to erase the stories of Black Americans, we know that Black history is American history. This month and every month, we honor the Black Americans who built this nation, pushed it forward, and continue to carry it toward a more just and equal future.

Another great general membership meeting for IDCCA — MAGA is trying to distract you, but Dem County Chairs will always be focused on doing the hard work to change lives. We’ve got big things in the works because if something needs doing, you can count on IL Dems to get it done!

MAGA is a hoax #affordability #costofliving #highprices #trump #maga

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the six million Jewish lives murdered in the Holocaust. “Never again” is not bound to one moment in history or one group of people. It is a moral commitment—to speak out against antisemitism, racism, and all forms of hatred.

Is it just us, or does every mention of one of these failing Congresspeople feel like a jump scare? We can do better Illinois - let's make this the cycle we send Miller, Bost and LaHood packing.  #funny #prank #scary #maga #illinoispolitics

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When our nation feels divided and justice still feels out of reach for so many, his words remind us that the work is not finished. Keeping Dr. King’s dream alive means standing up for equal rights, dignity, and opportunity for all.

Trump made groceries sky-rocket and MAGA’s suggestion is “eat more depression meals”? What the hell are they talking about? #trump #maga #affordability #prices #inflation

It’s official — Margie is out! And now we get to find out whether Georgia can actually produce someone worse. #mtg #marjorietaylorgreene #congress #maga #trump
