Hegseth may have ordered a war crime. Trump just closed airspace around Venezuela. And Stephen Miller is laying the groundwork to deport people without due process. Investigate the alleged war crime. Repeal the outdated AUMFs. Limit the Alien Enemies Act. Our security and our values depend on it.

Small Business Saturday is all about celebrating the places that make our communities feel like home. Today we stopped by The Sugar Bowl, Town House Books, Elder + Oat, WaxPax Toys, and Sweet Reserve Café.

These shops aren’t just storefronts. They’re the heart of our local economy.

Celebrating Record Store Day at Rediscover Records in Elgin. Nothing beats supporting local shops, flipping through classics, and sharing a few of my favorite albums. Small businesses keep our communities strong—let’s show them some love today and every day.

Illegal orders must be refused. Every service member knows that. Mark Kelly said it plainly. I served 8 years as a military lawyer, and that principle is core to our oath. Trump and Pete Hegseth are twisting that truth to attack a veteran and distract from their failures.

Trump just crossed a line no president should ever touch. Today he openly embraced political violence against Democratic veterans who reminded him that our oath is to the Constitution, not to unlawful orders. I stand with the veterans who spoke up. Trump’s rhetoric is reckless and dangerous.

Monday I delivered public comment in Elk Grove Village urging our leaders to take action against ICE’s abuses. Our communities deserve accountability, dignity, and local government that will listen to their constituents fears and concerns. We can be better than this, and it starts with speaking up

I walked past the White House Peace Vigil every day when I was an external at the WH. For 44 years, that tent stood for free speech and nuclear disarmament. Trump ordered it torn down.
If you send me to Congress, I’ll stand up to Trump’s authoritarian regime and fight for what that tent represented.

Judge Mark Wolf, a Reagan-appointed conservative, just resigned in protest of Trump’s assault on the rule of law. When judges are walking out, you know the damage is real. I will fight to restore the rule of law and protect our democracy before it breaks.
