Today is Holodomor Remembrance Day, when we honor the millions of Ukrainians who were murdered in Stalin’s man-made famine — a deliberate attempt to starve a nation into submission. That history warns us: When authoritarian regimes try to erase a people, the world must not look away.

I'm horrified to learn of the mass shooting in the heart of Chicago's downtown last night. My thoughts are with the victims and everyone who was touched by gun violence. This is yet another reminder of the urgent need to address the gun crisis in our nation.

I enjoyed attending the PAWS Chicago Annual ‘Fur Ball!’ As a no-kill shelter, PAWS has saved tens of thousands of animals – reducing euthanasia of Chicago’s homeless animals by over 90%.

As a dog dad and Co-Chair of the Animal Protection Caucus, I’m proud to fight to end unjust animal killings.

New data from the Department of Justice found that 97% of the 600+ Chicagoans abducted by ICE had no criminal records.

Trump’s thugs terrorized our city for just a handful of lawbreakers. We need to get ICE under control before they attack other cities as well.

Here in Chicago, chaotic ICE raids have forced people to live in fear. This fear has lowered foot traffic, decimating our small businesses — including restaurants and daycare centers.

I agree with @jahimes.bsky.social and @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social — the administration has to fix this.

The Big Ugly Bill is already kicking families off SNAP. That, plus Trump refusing to pay the benefits for this month and skyrocketing grocery prices, means more people need extra help.

I can't believe we even have to say this, but swastikas, nooses, and other hate emblems aren't "potentially divisive." They're symbols of terror and should continue to be banned by our troops.
 
Secretary Noem and Secretary Hegseth, I expect a reversal of this immediately.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Instead of actually working to lower your grocery costs, help you get a job, or make your health care cheaper, the Trump administration would rather just blame immigrants for literally everything.

Trump is pushing a Russia-driven "peace" plan that throws Ukraine under the bus, forcing it to cede territory, slash its army, and accept the most extreme demands yet.

Accepting this would be a betrayal of our allies and capitulation to Putin. We need true peace, not appeasement.

Every day, trans Americans suffer immense scrutiny from the far-right. Service members have been banned from the military, and veterans have had their benefits stolen from them. Now, multiple members of Congress have used slurs and called for trans people to be institutionalized. (More below)

As the housing crisis looms over Americans, Trump’s pushing a FIFTY-YEAR MORTGAGE!🤯

This “plan” will make homeowners pay double in interest, under the guise of lower monthly payments.

In order to make housing more affordable, we need to build, build, build!
Trump proposes 50-year mortgage, but some say homeowner savings would be minimal
The intended purpose of a longer-term mortgage would be to lower the monthly payment for homeowners. But a lower monthly payment, has other trade-offs.

Trump has shown he has zero interest in making America affordable again. From increasing prices to demolishing health care, his admin has made our country unlivable for working people.

I was with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social when we heard the victorious news that the Senate passed the bill to release the Epstein Files.

This victory belongs to all the survivors who courageously spoke out and victims who could not be here with us.

In September, ICE ransacked a South Shore apartment building, abducting Black and brown tenants and zip-tying children. They then LIED about who they kidnapped, calling them terrorists and gang members.
