I love the N. IL Food Bank and Sierra Club. BUT, I wish we lived in a country where they did not have to exist because the government ensured it's people had food and the environment was protected. Since we don't, I support Indivisible and Field Team 6.

Today is World Teacher Day 🍎 📏 Teachers are more than just simply people watching your children. Teachers undergo rigorous professional development, work well over 50+ hours a week, and plan individualized, differentiated instruction for each child in their classroom.
TEACHERS DESERVE MORE

Underpaid & Underfunded

Unions fight for....

Better pay

Better working conditions

Better benefits

Better job security

The best sermon is the one you live. I preached this morning. But my real sermon happened across Texas this week, as our campaign collected 20,000 pounds of groceries for our neighbors. As scripture says, “faith without works is dead.”

Seriously, get gambling, legal or otherwise, the phuck out of sports. Now, before it’s too late. It’s entirely possible gambling could be the undoing of sports as we know them. There are too many bad actors, including people and athletes involved in and around sports, who could ruin it for everyone.

Ken Paxton on Fox: “The media refuses to cover Talarico’s record as a Socialist Democrat, but make no mistake we are going to make sure Texans know who he is. He will be California’s third Senator and we need your help to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

… James Talarico responded with this post: “I agreed to 3 debates over a month ago. You declined every single one. You love to talk tough on Fox. Say it to me on the debate stage.”
