Today, I'm proud to announce that we've erased over $1.1 billion in medical debt for more than half a million Illinoisans.
No one should be forced to choose between life-saving care and feeding their families.
Stay tuned for more news on affordability in Illinois tomorrow.

AIPAC is secretly funnelling millions into three Chicago House races
Democrats say the powerful pro-Israel group is meddling in their races, using shell organizations to secretly crush progressive candidates in Chicago. If you care about the future of the Democratic Party, you should be outraged.

CBS can try to obey in advance by pressuring Stephen Colbert to silence his interview with James Talarico, the gifted communicate running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, but people can see what’s happening—& can listen to the convo on YouTube.
