I used to be married to an active, vibrant, happy young woman who decided one day to hang a bird feeder in the back yard, and now I’m married to a glassy-eyed, unwashed maniac that stands at the kitchen window all day screaming at squirrels.

While some states are taking away the rights of our LGBTQ+ community, we're protecting them here in our state. Illinois will always be a beacon of equality and hope for all. There's still work to do, but we have your back.

To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history? There's a simple answer. The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Pope Leo: “God created the world so that we could be together. Synodality is the ecclesial name for this awareness. It is the path that asks each person to recognize their own debt & their own treasure, feeling part of a whole, outside of which everything withers even the most original of charisms.”

I'm not really into the "born on this day" or "died on this day" history angles, but this one is a biggie: #OnThisDay June 7 1958 Prince Rogers Nelson is born in Minneapolis.

Pope Leo: “Evangelization is not our attempt to conquer the world, but the infinite grace that radiates from lives transformed. It is the way of the Beatitudes…hungering for justice. Jesus chose this path: to follow it, we have no need of powerful patrons, worldly compromises, emotional strategies.”

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Donald Trump just fulfilled another Project 2025 promise. He pulled guidance that protected doctors who provide abortions to save their patients’ lives. Let me be clear that in Illinois, you remain protected and can receive reproductive health care without fear of retribution.
