Harvard CAPS/Harris survey of 2,000 registered voters from Jan. 28-29 found 51% believe Trump performs worse than Biden, likely voters split 50-50. Economic views fuel the shift: 63% see the economy as worse now, and Trump's overall approval dipped to 45%. Independents and Democrats lean negative.

Support among House Democrats for impeaching HHS Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100+ co-sponsors after Robin Kelly introduced articles of impeachment. This is the same leadership Robin will bring to the US Senate. www.axios.com/2026/01/20/k...

Donald Trump rescinds an invitation to Canada to join his 'Board of Dictators,' which Canada never accepted in the first place. The way to defeat Trumpism is by resisting. Be sure to vote for the midterms and return Democrats to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House.

President Donald Trump recorded another first, this time not commemorating #WorldAIDSDay. President Joe Biden delivered remarks on December 1, 2024. President George W. Bush commemorated the day on December 1, 2008. Every president since 1988, except this year. #ShameShameShameOnTrump

For the first time since 1988, the U.S. is not officially commemorating World AIDS Day
Noting the decision not to mark the day, the State Department stated: "An awareness day is not a strategy." Activists in the fight to end the ongoing AIDS epidemic disagree.

Illinois families have lost $766 so far this year due to Trump’s inflation, according to the U.S. Senate Joint Economic. Meanwhile, Republicans do nothing to lower costs. Illinois Democrats are fighting for working families.

Trump wasn’t on the ballot on Tuesday — but still took a major loss
“Hopefully POTUS starts focusing less on international stuff and more on domestic issues,” one White House official told MSNBC after losses in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City rolled in.

The Trump administration just declared that erecting a ballroom is the President’s main priority. Meanwhile. The cost of living is way too high and the Republican healthcare crisis threatens millions of Americans.

This is a national disgrace, done without any public input or the consent of the U.S. Congress. The work of a dictator unaccountable to anyone. Let's wake up Republicans in the Congress, or Trump will render the Congress useless.

If Congress lets enhanced premium tax credits expire, 4 million Americans will lose health coverage — including 1.1 million Black Americans. Healthcare isn’t a luxury. It’s a right. Congress must act now to keep coverage affordable and protect every family’s care.

Republicans are lying that the ACA covers undocumented individuals. It does not. The ACA law states an “individual must be a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States” to purchase a plan. Democrats have not proposed any changes to that provision.

Budget director Russ Vought, the Project 2025 mastermind that Trump disavowed during the campaign, is behind this victimizing of a section of Chicago far too long ignored in Chicago and is a vital part of the 2nd Congressional District.
