I know these are challenging times — and the Trump administration is trying to confuse the American people.
That’s why it’s so important we speak plainly: Donald Trump is incompetent.

Trump's nominees are positioned for one purpose: protect Donald Trump... not America.

United States-born children are citizens and no executive order can change that.
We’ll fight to ensure birthright citizenship remains the law of the land.

Actually, the 14th Amendment still exists
Trump signed an executive order purporting to rewrite birthright citizenship. That's not how the Constitution works.

I've got your back, Illinois.
It's more than talk, it's about action — and here in our state, we're delivering.
We've passed balanced budgets, invested in our workforce, rebuilt infrastructure, lowered the cost of education, and put money back in your pockets where it belongs.

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.
