Great to spend time knocking doors in Wisconsin today! This fall, let’s flip the house.

Trump spent $20 million of DHS funds — the same department that has terrorized our communities — to air campaign ads about himself. While we struggle to afford groceries and housing, he's using our tax dollars to feed his ego. That’s corruption. And it’s exactly why we need to win.

Exclusive | Homeland Security Money Financed Pro-Trump Television Ads
White House calls the spots public-service ads, but critics argue using taxpayer money for campaign-like messaging may violate federal law.

The racial profiling and brutality out of this administration is beyond shameful. We will continue to stand up for our neighbors and continue to push back against ICE and CBP.

This violence must end. We need to take Evanston’s energy and fight to Washington to abolish ICE, hold the Trump administration accountable, and end the funding of these brutal invasions into our cities.

Trump wants to roll back the clock on the progress we’ve made. In Evanston, we’re fighting back.

This city led the way on reparations for Black people. Trump is trying to stop it
Evanston, Ill., became the first U.S. city to compensate Black people for historical discrimination. The Justice Department is trying to kill its program before other cities follow suit.

We saw heightened ICE activity in Evanston today. We know what to do. Check your rapid response chats, keep your whistles at hand, and let’s protect each other.

Today, EPD responded to a sighting of federal agents at Dodge/Howard, where a US citizen was briefly detained and then released. The person was treated at St Francis hospital for minor injuries. EPD continues to investigate the situation, and we will remain vigilant about federal activities.

It is disgraceful but not surprising that two justices would allow Trump to meddle with mail ballots. We need to make sure we never have to fight this battle again and that starts with everyone getting out to vote on or before November 3rd.

Usually, I love it when math is in the news, but what’s happening with AI right now is flat out dangerous. We need Congress to step up now and put guardrails around AI before it’s too late.

An Anthropic researcher just quit, warning they're racing to superintelligence. An employee still there agreed, and put the odds of AI killing all humans above 10%. This is an emergency. Congress must convene hearings and pass my and Bernie’s superintelligence ban.

Federal agents brutalized people in Evanston. Holding them accountable is slow, difficult work — which is exactly what Trump is counting on. But we are not giving up.

Four years after Dobbs, people from 25 states are traveling to Illinois for life-saving care they can't get at home. Federal protections for abortion access can't wait.
wbez.org
Many women with high-risk pregnancies can’t get abortions in their home states. Illinois welcomes them.
More people travel to Illinois than to any other state for an abortion. A program helps the small percentage who need care in a hospital.

The Supreme Court’s other ruling on immigration in the last week on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) has real and devastating consequences for real people.

It’s a relief that SCOTUS upheld the Constitution and protected the right to birthright citizenship today. But the fact that this was a split decision and three justices voted to overturn the plain and unmistakable language on birthright citizenship is profoundly disturbing.
