Look at Kurt the Vampire Kitty! 😍🧛
Kurt needs a patient home willing to meet him where he's at... so he can live his best life in a home instead of a shelter. Where are the grey cat lovers in Missouri & Illinois? #StLouis

People expect cats to perform like they're on America’s Got Talent—but I’m just Kurt: a cute, curious cat with little fangs and a big heart. After 6 years in the shelter, I’ve learned to love people. I just need someone patient enough to love me back. 💛 #AdoptDontShop

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "I led the effort to build the IL Holocaust Museum. What I know is that in 53 days, Nazis tore down the constitutional republic in Germany in the 1930s. It doesn't take much. We're seeing pieces of that sort of authoritarian activity happening right now in this country."

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: there have been times when you controlled the House & Senate, yet Republicans still found ways to block your legislation.
DO THAT TO THEM!
And—since the GOP won’t hold hearings, go home to your districts & hold mock hearings yourselves. Let the people see what’s really up!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The 30 hours filibuster is a fantastic example of how Democrats can use procedure to grind work in the Senate to a halt.
I want to see filibusters, quorum calls— as much blockage as possible. Make their lives miserable if they’re trying to hurt the people.

Alex Lawson: There are proposals from Republican congress members to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid. And let me be clear about what that would do: It would destroy Medicaid. It wouldn't do anything to fight inflation. It wouldn't bring anybody's prices down. It would just steal people's health care

A reminder to the US Senate....nominees lie to get the appointment. Remember when Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh swore before you that they would absolutely NOT overturn Roe? How'd that work out? Rely on their actions and their past behavior, not their "testimony."

Dems can:
-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance
It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.
