Over the next few weeks, millions of Americans are going to receive notices that their healthcare costs are set to explode in 2026. Many more will log onto online insurance marketplaces only to find that theyโ€™ve been priced out of the coverage they rely on.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Trump bought the Argentina election by threatening to withhold U.S. funds unless his preferred candidate won. We canโ€™t let the same playbook unfold here next week. Trump and his administration have already been making threats about the upcoming U.S. elections, and the warning signs are clear.

This morning we dropped off 5,000+ petition signatures in Springfield, nearly 5x what we needed to get on the ballot.

IL-09 is ready for change, and we couldnโ€™t have done it without you. Thank you.

See you on the ballot on March 17.

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reaganโ€™s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, โ€œcreated an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,โ€ and โ€œdid not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.โ€ The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canadaโ€™s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their โ€œrescueโ€ on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didnโ€™t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

My Message to Muslim New Yorkers โ€” and Everyone Who Calls This City Home.
YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC My Message to Muslim New Yorkers โ€” and Everyone Who Calls This City Home.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

It would cost roughly $700 million to make the nation's slowest buses fast and free.

And it would generate more than double that in economic benefits for our city.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.
