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. Brendan Carr & the FCC’s free speech attack will backfire.

AOC on Randy Fine: “This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official — It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this — Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”

I’m proud to announce we have already raised more than $1 million dollars from over 56,000 people across Maryland and the nation — and not a dollar from corporate PACs! The people of the 5th District are ready for a fighter, and I'm not going to let them down.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

The reason the FBI won't share evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting case is obvious:

The FBI is NOT investigating the shooting; they are covering it up.
