The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority.

There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks.

That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years.

Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees.

And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.

Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care.

“This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”
A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage
A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

We teach kids to hide from shooters while leaders post “Bomb Iran” videos like it’s a joke. On June 24, Trump shared one himself. War isn’t content. It’s dangerous. We need leaders who take peace seriously and stop treating human lives like punchlines.

TikTok gave me a strike for “bullying and harassment” and removed my video with a community guidelines violation.

What was my crime? Debunking false claims by RFK Jr. about vaccine safety.

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity.

Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities!

All of those people who are now crowing about the President having broad executive power to do pretty much whatever he wants felt exactly the opposite when a Democrat held the office - and likely will be outraged if a future Democratic president uses his/her power as it is now being exercised. 1/
