The largest city in our nation will soon have its youngest mayor in history with the election of 34 year old Zohran Mamdani. A testament to the power of our vote and the power of the people!

The government is shut down. Millions of families could start going hungry next week. Our troops aren’t getting paid. Health care is skyrocketing. Farmers are getting crushed by the president’s trade war.

And the president’s main priority is building a ballroom at the White House? Unbelievable.

Let’s talk about why #NoKings is so important. Also, let’s go over some ways to make the day as meaningful as possible. #NoKingsDay

Million dollar milestone! Many thanks to 800 of my neighbors in #IL17 who’ve contributed an average of $42.

I’ll never stop fighting for real people. And while I’m at it, I’ll fight anyone who thinks it’s okay to enrich billionaires while screwing with working people in this country.

LFG!!!

Billions of people on that other social media are being duped by lies and propaganda.

Truth is, Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House and they alone need a bipartisan solution to move forward.

Thought they were gonna lower costs on day one?

While the Trump administration amps up bully tactics and tries to figure out how to bail out farmers, we wouldn’t need any of it if we had good immigration and farm policy.

Some excellent journalism from ABC News helps people understand.

Donald Trump started a war with the best big city in the nation. Thanks Fox News!

Take the lie about undocumented immigrants away and no Republican can explain why they shut down the government.

Donald Trump’s own words.

Farmers are going bankrupt, John Deere is fledgling, and Donald Trump just gave a bailout to Argentina? 😡

We lost our #1 export country in China and for him, every day is just another walk in the park.

Thank you CBS Evening News for coming to the Quad Cities and telling our local story.

If you’re second guessing yourself, just focus on the fact that it can good happen today!

These pop up all around town and now there are fewer mosquitoes. Coincidence?

By the end of the year, American households will have spent an average of $2,400 due to Donald Trump’s trade wars.

Pretty decent earthquake happened about 20 minutes ago in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you have friends or family there, needless to say they’re probably wide awake now.

It would hae to be pretty shallow to cause any damage, but quite a jolt nonetheless.

🍂 With cooler weather, trees’ chlorophyll breaks down leaving the chemicals that reveal other colors.

🍁 Bright colors are more likely when the Summer is dry and the Fall has sunny days and cool nights.

The extreme right wingers went from “Publicly execute the m**her f***er” to “Pray for him” real quick.

The President of the United States, who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution has declared war on our third largest city.

This is not funny.
This is dangerous.
Every American must denounce it.
