Proud of Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid for leading the charge to repeal Illinois’ anti-BDS law.

As the only Palestinian American serving in the Illinois General Assembly, he has shown real courage in taking on attacks to our fundamental freedoms. We’re in this fight with him.

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

Stripping the EPA’s authority to fight climate change is a dereliction of duty. More profits for fossil fuel executives and wealthy shareholders at the expense of our planet and future.

The climate emergency is here.

NEW: β€œCBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are β€œevaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

I can believe because most of the jobs are probably going to people that are working for ICE now. Especially with how short of a hiring process they have.

There are a few convenience stores in my town that scan IDs because they’re hot spots for people trying to use fake IDs. Though those places are the exception.

I’m in a college town, so basically everyone has their ID checked at the bars regardless of age usually.

F.D.A. Refuses to Review Moderna Flu Vaccine

NEW: The F.D.A. refused to accept an application from Moderna for its mRNA flu vaccine.

Its reason: The agency did not think Moderna compared the new vaccine to one of the best flu shots available. The company spent $750M+ on a 41,000 person study.

I think the last time I had to show my ID for anything was about two months ago to go inside of a bar. Before that it was probably even longer.

The new voter suppression billβ€”called the "Save America Act"β€”would require 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates to register to vote. Most don't have these documents. This is a poll tax by another name.

FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

Trump suggests federal control of elections in β€˜some areas’ In a lengthy interview with NBC, the president said he will accept the results of the midterm elections if they are β€œhonest.”

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.

Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.

This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

Infographic showcasing different fundraising sources for Q4 in the IL-09 race using pie charts. Copy reads: 

ONE OF THESE IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS.
Our campaign is fueled - overwhelmingly - by tens of thousands of people, chipping in what they can. The others heavily depend on influence concentrated in a few big checks from corporate interests and AIPAC donors.

YOU DECIDE THE TYPE OF LEADER YOU WANT IN CONGRESS.

Funding sources key:
Small individual donations [<$200]
Large, in-state individual donations
Personal funds
Large, out-of-state donations [>$200]
PACs, union & other funds

TOP 3 CHARTS: 
Abughazaleh
Small individual donations under $200: 69%
Large individual donations out of state: 22%
Large individual donations in state: 9%

Biss: 
Large individual donations in state over $200: 80%
Large individual donations out of state: 12%
Small individual donations under $200: 5%
PACs, unions, and other funds: 3%

Fine: 
Large individual donations out of state: 61%

Compared to other candidates, our Q4 fundraising numbers show a campaign powered by people, not special interests.

Who would you rather have representing you, a candidate supported by self-funding, special interests and billionaire checkbooks, or one overwhelmingly supported by the people?

UPDATE!!! The Tribune Editorial Board endorsed the AlPAC candidate in my race partially because she left the IL progressive caucus because she supports unconditional military aid to Israel.

In their eyes, it’s β€œa principled position for a principled Democrat.”

Don Lemon "ransacked a church". Good and Pretti were "violent domestic terrorists", and somehow Obama joined forces with Cuba, China and Italy to rig the 2020 election.

If only they treated actual problems with the gravity and seriousness they do with their lies...
