In the @chicagotribune.com, I argue to repeal the 2001 #AUMF, reform the War Powers Resolution, and insert accountability into military funding. My proposed three steps would help restore our Constitution's checks and balances on war powers. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/09/21/o...

Dan Tully: 2001’s Authorization for Use of Military Force is being treated like a forever law for forever wars
Congress can restore balance to our government’s war powers in three steps.

Congratulations to Melissa Bean on her victory. I meant it when I said I would support whoever emerged from this primary. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, knocked doors, made calls, and voted. I’m grateful for your belief in this campaign. The race is over, but the work continues. #i08

Tonight, as we wait for the results, I’m filled with gratitude. Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, friend, and family member who believed in this campaign and gave their time, energy, and heart to it. This movement was built by you. I’m proud of what we built together. #il08

Election Day is here. 🗳️ I voted already… have you? Polls are open until 7 PM. Make a plan, bring a friend, and let’s win this. #il08

If the U.S. is considering sending Marines into Iran, the American people deserve transparency. Limiting Pentagon access and threatening news isn’t accountability, it’s intimidation. In Congress, I’ll fight to protect press freedom and ensure no official can punish journalists for doing their job.

Grateful to ABC 7 Chicago for covering this important race and giving voters a closer look at the choice ahead. Illinois’ 8th District deserves leadership that will stand up for working families and not let this president push us into further division.

St. Charles showed up BIG today. ☘️ Incredible energy at the St. Patrick’s Day parade! Thank you to everyone who came out, said hello, and made it such a great day. Proud to be part of a community like this. 🇺🇸🇮🇪

$11 BILLION in just one week of war with Iran. That could keep 5.3M Americans insured or feed 42M people through SNAP. Apparently there’s always money for war, never enough to help people. Send me to Congress and I’ll fight to make sure no president can start wars on a whim.

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
One of the first questions at my town halls in #il08 is how to fix our politics. One starting place is money in politics. Someone you’ve never heard of can spend millions of dollars to influence your vote, and you don’t know who they are. That’s dark money, and it has no place in a democracy.

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
Last night’s final Tully Town Hall was incredible. Thank you to everyone who showed up, and stood up for the future. If you haven’t voted yet, make a plan and get to the polls. If you have time left before Election Day, we could still use your help. Click the link in our bio to volunteer.

Less than a week until Election Day. Here’s my 60-second pitch. I’m the only candidate who has served in the military and practiced law, and I’m running on a 10-Step Trump Accountability Plan to restore congressional authority and rein in executive power. 🗳️ Vote by March 17.

12 towns. Hundreds of conversations. One mission: engage with the people of IL-08. 🇺🇸 We’re closing it out with one final stop. 📍 Bloomingdale 🕕 Thursday, March 12, 6 PM 📍 Jamesons Charhouse - 94 Stratford Dr Come be part of the conversation before Election Day. Let’s finish strong. 💪 #IL08

Before you vote — know who you’re voting for. Army Reserve veteran. Stanford lawyer. Public servant who refused to help this administration break the law. Now Dan Tully is running for Congress to hold the powerful accountable. Take a minute. Learn about your candidates. dantully.com

Trump fired Kristi Noem. But firing her doesn’t mean accountability. If Trump pardons officials before leaving office, federal prosecutions could be blocked. That’s why Congress has another path: investigation and state-level accountability. The rule of law shouldn’t depend on the president.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our penultimate Tully Town Hall in Des Plaines and packed the house at Beacon Tap. Your energy and engagement made it a night to remember. With early voting now underway, make a plan, check your options, and make your voice heard. #il08

When gas prices spike and groceries cost more, remember why. This war doesn’t just mean instability overseas. It means higher oil prices, disrupted supply chains, and working families paying more. We need leadership focused on lowering costs, not starting wars that make everything more expensive.

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
The world deserves real rules of engagement in the Iran conflict. Pete Hegseth is openly rejecting traditional ROE as “stupid” and embracing force instead of restraint. Congress must act to ensure that ROE is in place for the safety of civilians and our service members. #il08

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
Expanded early voting is open! From now until March 16, you can cast your ballot in Cook, DuPage, or Kane County at early voting locations. Find your closest location and make a plan today: click the links in the comments to get more information.

Trump started a war of distraction. Iran is already striking U.S. bases and just destroyed a dining hall where I ate while deployed. He admits troops could die. He’s fine with that. I’m running to stop a president who treats the Constitution like a suggestion and American lives as expendable.

You’re eating plastic. Americans ingest about a credit card’s worth of microplastics every week. In the 1980s, the U.S. helped pass the Montreal Protocol to phase out ozone destroying chemicals. The ozone layer will now recover. In Congress, I’ll push for a global Plastic Protocol.

Before you vote, know where your #IL08 candidate stands. Dan has been putting his plans/ideas/reactions on record, in 1-2 minute quick take videos. He’d be thrilled if you watched all 50+. 😁 Even if you watch just a few, that may be all you’ll need to decide. www.youtube.com/@DanTullyfor...

Dundee packed Eastside Cafe to the walls tonight. They showed up with tough questions, sharp insights, and zero patience for politics as usual. Only three Tully Town Halls left. If you care about what’s at stake, this is your moment to attend or invite a friend. Let’s pack the next ones, too.

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
Also listen to our convo about imposing conditions on the presidential authority under the Insurrection Act. We need to avert any risk of Trump cancelling the mid-terms. Thanks @forkingoff.com for the opportunity to talk about how Congress needs to do more. #IL08 dantully.com

If you support what my candidacy stands for, share these posts, email bill@dantully.com to request a yard sign or to volunteer. Most importantly, tell your friends! An educated vote is a powerful one. When we take our responsibility seriously, we help shape a future we can be proud of.

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT!🚨 Honored to have the support of Corinne Pierog Chair of the Kane County Board, and Mike Porfirio Illinois State Senator. These are leaders who know what it takes to deliver for working families and govern. Their support means our campaign continues our momentum toward March 17

Thanks @rallytogether313.bsky.social for the opportunity! Appreciate your interest in how my legal, military/national security, foreign policy/diplomacy, and federal government experience meets this moment for #IL08.

📍 Des Plaines Update: We’ve moved the Tully Town Hall to Beacon Tap. Same energy. New spot. Better show up. ➕ We’ve also added a joint town hall with Sam Polan, candidate for IL-9, on March 3rd. Four more chances to ask real questions. Four more chances to build real momentum. Let’s pack the room.

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 20/02/2026
Three more Tully Town Halls! If you’ve been meaning to come out, ask a question, or tell Dan what’s happening in your neighborhood. No script. No corporate or dark money. Just real conversations with real people. Bring your toughest questions and see if Dan has what it takes to represent you!

When Anthropic raised concerns about how its AI was being used by the military, Pete Hegseth reportedly threatened to label them a supply chain risk. If ethics get you punished, only the most reckless companies will line up to work with the Pentagon. We deserve oversight. Not strongarm tactics.

Trump’s team is saying there’s a 90% chance of war with Iran. Congress cannot sit on the sidelines. My Trump Accountability Plan would require Congress to act before any new strikes and amend the NDAA to hold appointees accountable. No unilateral wars. Congress must reclaim its war powers.

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 19/02/2026
Schaumburg did not come to play. Eight town halls in, and the room was full again. Neighbors asking tough questions, demanding accountability, and proving that this campaign is powered by people. Next stop: East Dundee. Join us for our 9th Tully Town Hall on February 25th in East Dundee.

Rev Jesse Jackson Sr. dedicated his life to advancing economic justice. His work uplifted the voices of working families and renewed the faith that government might someday work for them. May his record of service inspire our leaders now to continue his aim of building a more inclusive society.

Congressional oversight means nothing if agencies can spy on critics with zero accountability. Free speech is not a crime. Privacy is not optional. And no one in government is above the law. @aclu.org

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.

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.

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 05/02/2026
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.

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 02/02/2026
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.

Dan Tully @dantully.bsky.social · 30/01/2026
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.
