I'm a Chicagoan & a lifelong Democrat. I am a fighter.
I took care of my mom, who had Alzheimer's, for 9 years; I loved her. I kept notes, thinking they may be of help to someone else on the same road.

NEW: A federal immigration judge terminated deportation proceedings against our client Mohsen Mahdawi, who was detained for his protected speech.
This is good news, but the government can still appeal or refile their case. We won’t stop fighting until he is free for good.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.
She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
