Bad Bunny’s half time show was a spectacular reminder that the U.S. does not hold a monopoly on the term “America”
Just wait until Trump finds out about the Organization of American States

Will the RNC condemn Trump’s video depicting the Obamas as apes?
Or will it openly embrace white supremacy as a party platform?

Never tell a public school teacher that they have no experience. We don’t learn about poverty, hunger, homelessness, crime, and social justice from a book.
We face these issues head on every day in our classrooms.

ABC 7 and the League of Women Voters arbitrarily restricted this debate to only include establishment candidates.

WBEZ and the University of Chicago made a deliberate choice to limit their debate to just 3 candidates.
In doing so, the chose to exclude the only veteran, CPS teacher, and union member on the top of the ballot.

A sitting president threatening military force against a NATO ally is an impeachable offense.
The United States Senate, which has sole authority to enter into treaties, ratified the North Atlantic Treaty on July 21st, 1949.
Violating this treaty is a high crime against the state.

The US citizen shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis proves how the rapid, largely unvetted expansion of ICE has created a lethally incompetent force that endangers our communities.

We can be a nation of laws or a nation of edicts—we cannot be both.
You can think Maduro is a bad guy. You can think it is good that he is gone. But the real question you should be asking yourself is this: Do you think we should live under the rule of law or the rule of edict?

If everyone who sees this video gives just $3 we can reach our goal. And if we do so by NYE, you’ll get to watch me jump into Lake Michigan.
It might be gimmicky, but if it helps me pay my staff living wages without grovelling to wealthy strangers on the phone, I’ll polar plunge every day!

I criticize Biden for his failed withdrawal from Afghanistan; for denying us an open primary; for arming the State of Israel as it carpet bombed civilians.
I am still a Democrat.
You can criticize Trump and remain Republican. It is time to put America First and stop another needless war.

If working harder means falling behind, the problem isn’t you—it’s the system.
Big money controls politics, corporations raise prices, and families pay the bill.
I’m running to make our government work for the people trying to buy groceries, not the ones buying influence.

After denying me a seat at the table, the IL AFL-CIO did not even endorse any candidate in the U.S. Senate race.
In the end, all they did was stifle democracy by denying union members the ability to hear from the only union member and veteran on the ballot.

Last night I met a woman responsible for fundraising for scholarships to a local Catholic school.
She told me her annual goal was to raise $1.2 million. In just one quarter, Raja spent $5 million on TV ads alone.
Establishment politicians raise money for wrong and wasteful purposes.

I studied international law at Oxford. By his own words and actions, Pete Hegseth has demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the laws and treaty obligations that govern our Armed Forces.
As a basic principle, international law, once ratified by the US Senate, is US law.
