It doesn't take a lot to recognize this abuse of power. Even the Supreme Court acknowledged Trump's actions yesterday. No one is above the Constitution.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hearing from two young minds who have been investigating federal immigration activity. It’s been great to speak with such a range of community members on their experiences with ICE.

As we finish celebrating Hanukkah, this victory of light over darkness is a deeply relevant symbol, especially in the face of rising antisemitism across the globe. Let us rededicate ourselves to carrying infinite light through celebration, resistance and support of one another.

Still laughing at this joke of a questionnaire... in all seriousness though, it's past time Congress passes common sense gun safety legislation to keep our communities safe.

Gun safety legislation is long overdue in the United States. Many individuals are advocating for stricter gun laws to prevent gun violence and keep communities safe. The video discusses the importance...

I said it straight to Bovino’s face: the violence, racism and brutality that his agents are inflicting on the Chicago area are unacceptable and un-American. Bovino’s agents tried to intimidate me, but I won’t back down, and I won’t stop fighting to protect my community.

Trump is slashing food assistance while giving huge tax breaks to billionaires. I visited the Niles Township Food Pantry to get a first hand look at how these cuts impact people right here in our community.
