In Illinois, a bill called the RIFL Act would shift some of the financial burden of gun violence from victims and taxpayers back onto the industry that profits from the product. Think of it as workers’ comp, but for gun injuries and deaths.

We couldn’t possibly be in a worse information environment for what’s happening. Which is probably, in part, why it’s happening.

Today, little kids at Annunciation Catholic School were forced into a club that no child should ever join. It’s a fucked up club, and it’s growing because our so-called leaders refuse to act.

I am proud to stand with gun violence prevention leaders @gabbygiffords.bsky.social @krisbrown.bradyunited.org @ferrellzabala.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com & so many other female champions to call for ending political violence & armed intimidation!
One week ago, Melissa Hortman and her husband were taken from us in a horrific act of political violence.

Political violence is never justified. Armed extremism is a threat to democracy.

Honor Melissa by rejecting division—and choosing courage.

A few stories from my ER shift: Medicaid cuts will hurt already struggling patients who are working, caregiving, or facing real hardship, and also our ERs. These aren’t just numbers- they’re lives. #MedicaidMatters #HealthcareIsAHumanRight

My incredible friend @drannieandrews.com is running for Senate in SC against Lindsey Graham. She’s a mom, a pediatrician, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and is brilliant, kind, and thoughtful. Oh, and Nancy Mace despises her.

What more could you ask for?
I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

Illinois would benefit greatly from a true safe storage law that requires all firearms to be securely locked up when not in use. SB8 is not that bill. SB8 would not even apply to the 70% of Illinois households that don't have minor children. #needsimprovement 😐

Good news: @democrats.org are hiring for an Influencer Manager role.

Bad news: pays only $65K (in DC!) and requires just one year of experience.

This is not how you win the internet. Or elections.

Digital IS the battleground. We need to staff and PAY like it.
The Democratic Party - Influencer Manager
The Democratic National Committee is looking for a driven, forward-thinking social media expert with a broad knowledge of influencers and a deep interest in creating political content. The Influencer Manager will identify creators to work with, build strong relationships with them, and create opportunities to produce effective social media content tied to the Democratic Party. The ideal candidate for this role has excellent communication skills and a natural ability to collaborate.

There is absolutely no place in Democratic politics for this type of “consultant” who exists purely to pad his own coiffeurs. This is pure grift, through and through. Shame on him, and shame on us for giving him the space and platform to do it. Can’t happen again. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...

We had a night!

1. Susan Crawford crushed Schimel in WI, an absolute landslide.
2. Cory Booker lit up the Senate floor making history.
3. FL01: +17pts toward Dems since Nov!
4. FL06: +19pts toward Dems since Nov!

This momentum’s real. Let’s keep pushing.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

Medicaid helps all of us, even if we aren't the recipients. Without it, our healthcare costs will rise. Providers will pass the losses along to patients who have health insurance. We will end up paying more!
