A Democrat hasnโ€™t been elected Mayor of Miami in nearly 30 years. VP Harris beat Trump in Miami by just one point last year. Tonight, Eileen Higgins became the first Democrat to win in three decades and won by 19 points. This is a very, very bad sign for the GOP.

Good to know thereโ€™s nothing more important for the head of the U.S. State Department to do.

Trump doesnโ€™t have a clue about how to do authoritarianism.

The President's Affordability Tour begins with a central message: Cheer up. You can easily do without and enjoy it. And it teaches your entitled kids a healthy lesson. Also steel. That's a real need.

My son was in preschool when Republicans first promised to have a better plan than the ACA.

Senate Republicans have to vote to stop this health care crisis. We canโ€™t leave millions of Americans choosing between health insurance or putting food on the table.

I've twice explained to spouse that there is no peace plan. Rather, there's a plan to limit the blowback when Trump capitulates to Russia.

Trump will do it anyway: Trump is going to reverse sanctions bc he wants the grift.

He's just trying to limit blowback for Russia Russia Russia.

Governor JB Pritzker joined bill sponsors, officials, and community advocates in Chicagoโ€™s Little Village to sign HB 1312.

Today, I've signed into law legislation that expands legal protections for the people of Illinois.

Dropping your kid off at day care, going to the doctor, or attending classes should not be a life-altering task.

We will counter the Trump Administration's depravity.

So far the Trump admin has canceled:

- The PPI Inflation Report
- The Jobs Report
- The Inflation Report
- The third-quarter GDP report

Trump thinks Americans are dumb enough to miss that he failed to deliver on any of his economic promises if he just hides all the data.

The intrigue: While Paramount's initial press statement didn't include a mention of sovereign wealth funds, a separate securities filing said its other outside financing partners include the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Abu Dhabi's L'imad Holding Company, the Qatar Investment Authority (Qatar) and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners.
