Pam Bondi’s testimony showed exactly why we need real accountability in Washington. My Trump Accountability Plan lays out immediate steps Congress can take right now: use inherent contempt to enforce oversight and make the AG independent from presidential control. The rule of law must come first.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to discuss my Trump Accountability Plan and what Congress can do to improve affordability.

Appreciate @heartlandsignal.bsky.social and Patti!

Election Day is just 5 weeks away, but voting has already begun. You can cast your ballot now through early voting or vote by mail. Check your county’s locations, return your ballot early, and make a plan to vote on or before March 17. Every vote counts.

From Dundee to Des Plaines and everywhere in between, I’ve been out across IL-08 listening to our neighbors. The energy at our forums, town halls and on the doors is clear: people are ready to elect a fighter with a REAL plan to hold this Trump accountable and make life easier for working families.

Military kids shouldn’t be collateral damage in political culture wars. When a congressionally chartered organization like Scouting America faces pressure for being inclusive, Congress has a duty to step in. Protect our scouts. Protect our families. Protect common sense.

Congress must end the immunity shields that let ICE dodge accountability. Sovereign and qualified immunity were meant to protect good-faith officers, not promote lawlessness. I’ll fight to pierce both immunity bubbles and make ICE’s constitutional violations answerable in state court.

The FBI seizing state election records isn’t routine. It’s a stress test for federal interference in 2026. If Congress doesn’t act now to raise the bar, what happened in Georgia won’t be the last rehearsal.

Thank you, Elgin. You packed the room for our Tully town hall, asked tough questions, and showed exactly what engagement looks like.

Town halls are about listening, building community, and being accountable to the people we serve. If you missed this one, don’t worry we’re just getting started!

Food prices are out of control because Trump broke the system with tariffs. I’ve helped other countries fix economic issues, and I’ve got the plan to make food affordable and hold Trump accountable.

Last week, people across the country showed up to demand accountability for ICE.
Tonight, we got our answer. Gregory Bovino, the commander-at-large of U.S. Border Patrol, has been demoted.

This is one victory, not the end of the fight. Let’s keep showing up. Next time, bring a friend.

Today we stood shoulder to shoulder with people in South Elgin and Palatine following the deadly shooting by ICE in MN. We marched to demand accountability, an end to violent enforcement, and an immigration system rooted in human dignity. Together we will keep showing up until justice is real.

Thanks @wecanleadchange.bsky.social for organizing!

The word went out this morning. And this was the response.
There’s no ignoring a crowd this loud.

This is what community looks like.

We have a lot of work to do to hold the administration accountable. This passion is what keeps me optimistic.

Boston Massacre isn’t just history, it was a warning. In Minneapolis, federal agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, for filming and shielding a protester. Unarmed. Labeled a β€œterrorist.” This is state violence. Defund and abolish ICE.

Absolutely without question. If you head over to DanTully.com/issues you can see my accountability plan for this lawless organization.

Trump already tells his AG who to prosecute. Now JD Vance wants a White House-run prosecution unit with nationwide reach.

That’s a direct threat to DOJ independence.

My plan is simple: elect the Attorney General, separate from the presidency, so the DOJ answers to the people, not the Oval Office.

If regular federal workers followed the same ethics rules as politicians, they’d be fired or charged. I have a plan to close the loopholes, ban stock trading, and make ethics violations impeachable. If you’re cashing in, get out.

Trump First foreign policy has done the impossible: turning our allies into adversaries.

Threatening Denmark over Greenland is costing us a century of trust and pushing Europe, Canada, and even Australia away from the US.

This is how empires stumble. Congress has to act now to stop a reckless war.

Trump’s cabinet is openly breaking the law.

Noem is unleashing ICE on civilians.

Hegseth is pushing war crimes.

Congress has real power to hold them accountable: inherent contempt.

Arrest them. Put them on the House floor. Force compliance or lock them out of power.

One subpoena. Trillions of dollars at risk. Trump is trying to bully the Federal Reserve into doing his political bidding, and that puts the dollar, global markets, and every American’s savings in danger. The Fed must stay independent. The economy depends on it.

Housing costs are out of control. A college grad at our first Tully Town Hall works full-time and still lives at home. I’ve got real ideas to fix it: build more homes, update zoning, and stop Wall Street from hoarding houses. 🏠

What good are videos of ICE abuses if nothing is done about them? Those videos are evidence. With a majority after November, Congress will create a commission to investigate ICE. These recordings will be used to subpoena records and hold violators accountable. Accountability depends on it.

We used to call this a war crime when other countries did it. Now it’s U.S. policy. Illegal, humiliating, and terrifying. Congress must act before this gets worse.
