See you today at 1PM.

When we stand together we show the administration that we will not be divided, and we will not be silent.

Unbelievable turnout at today’s food drive, led by Patrick Hanley, helping families hit by the end of SNAP benefits.

The food bank was overflowing. The community showed upβ€”but generosity isn’t a replacement for policy.

No one should have to choose between food and healthcare.

We are receiving numerous reports of ICE all over Evanston today, as well as other northern suburbs and the north side of Chicago. Please stay safe, stay alert, and call 855-435-7693 if you spot ICE, CBP, or other federal agents.

Make sure you know your rights!

Where you stand on this should not have anything to do with what you think about Kat’s policy proposals or what she says in this campaign.

Where you stand has to be about the rule of law.

Every American, in this district and around the country, should stand with Kat as she fights these charges.

As a former federal prosecutor, I know the care that is supposed to go into charging decisions, and this is plainly a political prosecution - an attempt by the Trump Administration to not only intimidate protesters but turn them into propaganda.

The test in Illinois's Ninth What Democrats do in this race will show whether we’re serious about winning again.

The way to defeat Trump is not by shouting the loudest. It’s by winning the votes of the majority of Americans who are tired of this chaos and waiting for an alternative.

Disgraceful.

This is not law enforcement. Obscured identities, refusing basic questions, threatening an elected official, and needlessly resorting to violence, all with the camera on.

With any accountability, they’d be the ones in cuffs. This administration is lawlessness, top to bottom.

To Donald Trump:

Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.

Stop calling your political opponents β€œenemies” of the US.

Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.

Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

The first time a federal judge asked, β€œWho’s representing the United States,” & I said, β€œI am, your honor,” is a moment I will never forget.

I was proud to represent my country, and to be part of the DOJ. That makes the disgraceful action against James Comey this week all the more devastating.

Affordability matters but it won’t win back America.

Not in 2028.

Not against a president rewriting the system in real time.

Small-ball politics in a transformational moment is surrender.

Democrats are sleepwalking through a crisis. 🧡

Pretending a House majority can check authoritarian executive power.

Treating 2026 as the finish line instead of building for 2028.

Repackaging β€œaffordability” while voters slip away.

Donald Trump is already sapping America’s economic strength with a tariff on goods, and now he’s hurting us further with a tariff on talent.

There are bright, talented, driven people all over the world, and the United States is fortunate that a lot of them want to be here.

My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk’s family in this tragic time.
