Toxic social media, climate dread + school shootings are fueling a youth mental health crisis—driven by corporations putting profit over people. Thank you @jbpritzker.bsky.social for making IL the first state to provide universal youth mental health screenings. We must fight for our kids.

Thank you to the Iron Workers District Council of Chicago & Vicinity for your support. Unions are under attack, and we need Congress to put government back on the side of workers, not big corporations.

Congressional stock trading ban gets Senate panel’s OK Democrats agreed to exempt President Donald Trump to advance GOP Sen. Josh Hawley’s bill.

This is a small step in the right direction — of course members of Congress should not be allowed to trade stocks. Same goes for the president and vice president, no matter the party.

Congress should serve the people, not their own stock portfolios.

Maria Pappas and @hollykim.bsky.social have been dedicated public servants for the people of Cook and Lake County, and I am grateful to have their endorsement!

The Evanston Pride LGBTQIA+ Community Picnic on Saturday was such a summer highlight! So great to catch up with friends and celebrate the joy, strength, and diversity of this amazing community.

We've taken action in Evanston and I'm glad to see the state strengthening gun safety laws, but we need Congress to do something.

Assault weapons ban, universal background checks, red flag laws are no brainers.

And it’s time to get serious about repealing the 2nd Amendment.

I was so proud to join @seiu.org at the #FamiliesFirst Day of Action this past weekend.

It’s simple: we need to put families first — not billionaires, not big corporations, and not corrupt politics.

Our government has let hedge funds buy up vital institutions only to gut them for profit, cutting jobs and leaving communities worse off. I stand with the journalists impacted and the Tribune newsroom. Chicago needs strong local media to hold power accountable.

Gazans Are Dying of Starvation

The horrific reports of famine coming from Gaza are heart-wrenching and unacceptable. Israel, the United States, and the international community must ensure food and aid are distributed NOW before more people die.

Our fire fighters and public service workers put their lives on the line every day to serve our communities. I’m grateful to earn the support of IAFF Local 742 and I look forward to fighting for them in Washington!

I spent the morning with AFGE Local 704 members being targeted by Donald Trump as part of a three-pronged attack: on civil servants, on unions, and on scientific research. Democrats must stand up and support these workers, who serve all of our communities.

In just one week:
✅ Announced we raised $700,000 in Q2 — more than any other candidate
✅ Endorsed by U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren
✅ Endorsed by Several Niles Township Elected Leaders
✅ Backed by 47th Ward Dems

This movement is growing. It’s powered by people like you. Thank you.

I would be honored to work alongside Sen. Warren in Congress on big structural changes to make child care and housing more affordable, fix our broken campaign finance system, combat climate change, and make life easier for working families.

Senator Warren is an inspiration to me and so many others as one of the most effective, boldest progressive leaders in our nation.

I’m so honored to have her backing in this race!

Enough walking on eggshells. If we want to win, our leaders need to talk like normal people.

Transit is about community. We must invest in a transit system that connects our neighborhoods, supports our economy, lifts up our workers, and brings people together — without polluting the Earth.
Thank you @betterstreetschicago.org for allowing me to speak at today’s rally to save transit!

There’s no good reason for ICE agents to conceal their identity—it’s creating unsafe situations and making it impossible for communities to tell if they’re interacting with law enforcement or impersonators.

I’m glad @schakowsky.house.gov is sponsoring this bill. I’d do the same.

The current moment requires both good policy and a track record of accomplishing progressive policy. I think Daniel Biss would be a great Member of Congress.
