Sunday more than 30 Texas House Dems flew from Austin to Illinois and immediately headed to our HQ along with Gov. JB Pritzker. They fled to prevent the Texas legislature from enacting Donald Trump’s plan to defy voters and gerrymander five additional Republican House seats. They 👏 are 👏 fearless! 🇺🇸

Incredible turnout across DuPage and across the county for No Kings protests today! The people are peacefully rising up against the authoritarianism and hateful, cruel and divisive policies and rhetoric of Trump and the GOP. WE control our freedom and our destiny—not despots like Donald. #NoKings

Our township Dem orgs recruited great candidates and knocked on doors; we organized volunteers to send 80,000 handwritten postcards and we sent more than 900,000 text messages, including those from DWDC and DPI.
Together we showed that the Democratic Party knows how to fight back and how to win!

Prior to 2017, there was only one Democrat in Township government in DuPage County. Before the elections two weeks ago, we’d grown that number to 12. On April 1, we ran 49 Democrats and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them won.
This unprecedented election sweep was decades in the making.

Every township holds an annual meeting open to all residents of the township. This is the only meeting at which members of the public make the decisions. Especially because our newly elected officials won't be sworn in yet, it's important that Democrats show up to vote in these meetings!

As we begin the celebration of Black History Month, I am thinking of those who stood up, spoke out, and took action when they saw injustices in the world – people like my friend, John Lewis. Carrying that spirit and their legacy with me this month and always.

Clean energy is cheap energy. Trump and his oil cronies aren't going after it because it's clean. They're going after it because it's cheap... and they know they can't compete. Put consumers first and we all win. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/31/i...
