It was a privilege to join the Highland Park community in honoring the heroes among us, those who have served and continue to serve our nation with courage and conviction. Veterans remind us that being American is not about uniformity of thought... (1/2)

Imagine if anyone around you could be carrying a loaded, hidden gun — regardless of your state's laws & even without any firearms training.

Why a federal concealed carry gun bill must be stopped - The Boston Globe

Illinois is stepping up where Washington has failed to act. After Secretary Kennedy dismantled the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, I passed HB767, making Illinois the first state to create its own state-based vaccine-recommending body grounded in science, not politics.
