Today's Supreme Court decision abandoning transgender children is a disgrace. No government should come between families and their doctors when it comes to life-saving medical care. www.cnn.com/2025/06/18/p...

Ten years ago today, nine innocent people lost their lives in a senseless act of gun violence fueled by hatred and bigotry at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. SC. This Gun Violence Awareness Month, we honor their memory and the memories of every life lost to gun violence.

It was a great Saturday connecting with folks all across IL-09! From celebrating with future students and families at the Foster Elementary School block party in Evanston, to seeing the incredible artwork at the Rogers Park 32nd Annual Artists of the Wall Festival…

Earlier today, I participated in one of my favorite Father’s Day traditions, running in the Ricky Byrdsong Memorial Race Against Hate. I was inspired to see thousands come together in Evanston to stand up against racial violence and hate.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures out there! I am so grateful for my own dad and my incredible kiddos who made me one.

When we stand up, they don’t stand a chance. I was so energized by the huge crowd at the No Kings Evanston rally. We can and will stand up and fight back against these fascist attacks on our communities! #NoKings

Absolutely heartbreaking news from Minnesota about the heinous attacks on public servants in their homes. Please join me in keeping these legislators, their families, and the people of Minnesota in your thoughts. We must stand together against all forms of political violence.

If they're willing to manhandle a United States Senator on camera, there's no telling what they would do to any of us.

I’m on Substack! Sign up for more in-depth thoughts about how we can fight back in this moment and build a better future for the long term. Check out my first post, which explores Trump’s attacks on higher education — and don’t forget to subscribe! danielbiss.substack.com/p/trumps-war...

Friends, we're at a crossroads. What we're seeing in LA isn't just about immigration - it's about the fundamental right to peaceful protest. They want us scared. They want us silent. We won't give them either.

Eid Mubarak! Wishing all who observe a blessed Eid al-Adha filled with unity and peace!

Yesterday at Northwestern's Stand Up For Science rally, I stood with researchers and students fighting back against Trump's devastating attack on university funding.

It’s not complicated - these huge wildfires are happening more often because of climate change. And here in the Chicago area, the dirty air that follows is a huge problem for everyone — especially kids. We need a government that won’t stick its head in the sand while our planet burns.

It was great to join so many incredible community celebrations this past Saturday in Evanston. From naming a street after former Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl, to celebrating our amazing AAPI community at the Umbrella Arts Festival, and finally saying a bittersweet farewell to Pastor Monté Dillard.

Pride isn't just a month - it's personal for me. I've always stood with the LGBTQ community, from fighting in Springfield against conversion therapy and for marriage equality to protecting the rights of the transgender community.

Another abhorrent and targeted anti-semitic terrorist attack this evening in Colorado. This cannot become the new norm for Jews here in America and we must all come together to stop this wicked hatred. bsky.app/profile/apne... @apnews.com

It was great to meet with Lake County leaders Holly Kim, Diana O'Kelly, Richard McLaughlin, Sheila Sebor, CJ Schmidt, and Tim Kobler. Illinois's 9th District stretches from Chicago all the way to Crystal Lake and I am excited to fight for every resident.

@seancasten.bsky.social is a dedicated, hardworking public servant who brings much-needed expertise and commitment on climate action to Washington. I am proud to have his support in my race for Congress.

Happy birthday, Congresswoman! We're so lucky to have you fighting for us in Washington in this critical moment—I feel fortunate to count you as a friend. Thank you for everything you do for this community, and for modeling courageous, progressive leadership for all of us. @schakowsky.house.gov

It was an honor to stand next to our veterans this morning in Evanston and address our community about the debt of gratitude we all owe our service members. We are grateful for your service and we will spend today honoring you.

The GOP Tax Scam that passed in the dead of night is a catastrophe. Millions will see their Medicaid ripped away while green energy and food assistance disappear. And why? So the wealthiest can get yet another tax cut. We must stop this disaster from becoming law.

I am furious and heartbroken. Israeli Embassy employees Yaron and Sarah should be alive today. Instead, they were murdered at an @ajcglobal.bsky.social event in an act of terror. May their memories be a blessing, and a catalyst for us to double down on fighting antisemitism and hate.

Today, I am pleased to announce endorsements from prominent state legislators and elected officials underscoring the strong momentum behind the vision for our shared progressive vision for the IL-09 community 🧵

Trump's budget bill is a rotten attempt to cut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for the ultra rich—at the expense of the vital healthcare services our communities rely on.

Wishing President Biden a full and speedy recovery. He has served our nation with courage and decency, and our thoughts are with him and the entire Biden family during this time.

In Congress, I will stand up to Trump and his dangerous cuts to the VA. I spent this Armed Forces Day with VFW Snell Post 7186 and at a rally in Des Plaines—because we need to be advocating for our veterans, not abandoning them.

I am FLOORED by how much support folks have shown for this campaign since we launched yesterday. I can't wait for us to get to work together.

THANK YOU to every single founding donor for your support. I’m ready to take on this fight—and with your support we will win.

We need Democrats in Washington who will fight, not fold. I've taken on some tough battles for working folks, and I'm not planning on stopping. Ready to join the fight? Become a founding donor now >> biss.live/support

I’m running for Congress to take on the billionaires and fight for YOU. Join me: biss.live/support

But first... coffee. Thanks to John for having me this morning at Backlot Coffee! Couldn't think of a better way to kick off this campaign.

We need Democrats who aren’t afraid of the tough fights and have a record of winning the big ones.
