No Kings rally in Chicago. I was part of a group that sang protest songs as the marchers came by. So incredibly uplifting!

I am aware of the troubling incident that has unfolded in Franklin Park.

This is a developing situation and the people of Illinois deserve a full, factual accounting of what’s happened today to ensure transparency and accountability.

This shooting is nothing short of horrific. I'm praying for Charlie Kirk and thinking of the students at the event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country — it's never ok.

WE STAND TOGETHER. Chicago unites against Trump and his fascist cabal. #HandsOffChicago

Chicago gears up as Trump troop deployment looms: ‘We aren’t helpless’ City on edge as Trump threatens to send in national guard, but organizers and residents are taking steps to push back

We can’t be effective if we don’t act together. We draw our strength from each other. That is the strength of Chicago, and that’s what’s going to get us through this. What Trump’s administration doesn’t understand is that we are in a community. ~Denise Poloyac, Indivisible Chicago #HandsOffChicago

As a governor who cares about the well-being of my people, I can’t live in a fantasy land where I pretend Trump is not tearing this country apart for personal greed and power.

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T.

All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations.

There is no justification for this.

More Democrats growing a spine in real time. This was unexpected from @governor.ny.gov but she delivered a great message.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies.

So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed?

For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

Cutting jobs at the FDA is a big mistake. As someone who works for Big Pharma, we need the FDA’s scrutiny to assure compliance with cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices). Otherwise, we are less safe as a country.

Aviation workers. Nuclear safety experts. Disease investigators. Power grid operators. Maternal health specialists. Bird flu experts.

They work to keep Americans safe—without fame or fanfare. Now, Trump and Musk are gutting their agencies and firing them. Here are the facts 🧵

@revlaurat.bsky.social Hi Laura. Just got on Bluesky. Not exactly sure how this platform works. Trying to figure out why I can’t upload a photo for my profile. Something silly I’m sure. 🤪
