Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Of course I worry, I would be crazy not to. As you say, no one is safe. The question is what do we do about it? We all need to find our own way to stand up and speaking out. For me that means fighting in court, writing, and speaking in public.

After decades of mismanagement, Illinois is balancing our budgets, and the results are clear. Our pension funded ratio is improving. Our Rainy Day Fund is at record highs. Our credit upgrades have taken us to A-level ratings. We're not resting on our laurels, though.

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.

A brave 20 year old US citizen that stood up to ICE, Adrian Andrew Martinez, disappeared by the regime. His family currently unable to find him after being kidnapped by regime troopers. His mother: "I have no idea where he's at. I don't know if he's okay. I'm really worried right now." #StopICE

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

Several unhoused people, as well as local employees trying to travel to and from work have been caught up in police violence against protesters. One story I already posted, which is also in this larger one, is of a woman police gravely assaulted. But even more horrors have been caught in by LA Taco.

Years of lucrative Army contracts explain why Palantir, of all companies, was one of the sponsors of Trump’s Army parade last weekend. And why a Palantir executive has been made a lieutenant colonel. Not great.
