Congressional Republicans killed Donald Trump's bill because it wasn't cruel enough — and now it's apparently just right. Hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans could lose access to their health care. What's big and beautiful about that?

The president of the U.S. appears to be improving his own health through access to great medical care and great medical science. That's what he gets. Simultaneously, his administration is doing so much to hurt regular Americans' opportunity to achieve those same good health outcomes the same way.

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it." And then... I lost it.

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent in the elevator with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance. The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.

The goal post is always moving with Donald Trump. Businesses can't plan or create jobs if tariffs are on one day and off the next. Certainty and sanity must be restored.

Wisconsin—ignore the polls & get your ass to the voting booth on Tuesday. Elon Musk is dumping millions to turn out a group that usually stays home—voters that the pollsters didn’t account for. Don’t let the richest man on Earth buy your state to serve his own interests. Show up and shut him down.👀

This past Saturday night, our government grabbed a legal U.S. resident, arrested him, is now detaining him, and is trying to quickly deport him. No charges. No trial. His wife, a U.S. citizen, doesn’t know where he is. This is what authoritarian regimes do. This shouldn’t happen here.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

🚨 NEW: Federal spending jumped to $710B from Jan. 21 to Feb. 20—$80B MORE than the same period last year under President Biden. Trump and DOGE aren’t cutting spending. They’re gutting services they don’t like and redirecting the cash to their oligarch buddies. Wake up.
