I stand with @sbworkersunited.org and every worker who fights for a livable wage.
In the meantime, I urge everyone to support their locally owned coffee shops.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Next stop on my college tour: 📍Loyola University
Loyola is one of the few universities that is in IL-9, and is home to a large commuter-student population

This Veterans Day, I want to honor everyone who has courageously served our nation in uniform.
To the 15,000 veterans in my district and the 15 million veterans in the U.S.: thank you for protecting our freedom.
Today and always, we must remember that democracy is not guaranteed.

This deal fails working families.
Congress chose to reopen the government without fixing the healthcare crisis staring us in the face. Marketplace premiums in IL doubled and 45K Illinoisans stand to lose coverage if subsidies lapse. We can’t call it progress if people can’t afford to see a doctor.

Enough Senate Democrats vote with Republicans to break government shutdown impasse
The Senate passed a key test vote Sunday night on a plan that would reopen the government.

What an incredible moment for New York City. Congratulations to Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on a historic, people-first victory rooted in compassion and courage. His “society for all” vision shows what’s possible when we put working families before corporations. You inspire us all!!
