ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.
The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.
Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

FDA approved the abortion pill mifepristone 25 years ago.
So why is RFK Jr. raising questions about it now? He's trying to roll back abortion access nationwide.
I'll keep fighting against attempts to restrict access—because medication abortion is safe and effective. Period.

To Donald Trump:
Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.
Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.
Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.
Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Trump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within
