We’re facing an attack on our health care systems and the resources that working families rely on to stay alive. That’s why in Illinois, I just signed several bills into law that lower the cost of prescription drugs, protect consumers, and expand health care access. www.kfvs12.com/2025/07/01/g...

Yesterday Secretary Rubio admitted the administration ignored its own intelligence reports while illegally dragging us into the conflict in Iran. He literally said "forget about intelligence." That's the type of "leadership" that started the Iraq War.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.
