We got the job done this budget for the future of Illinois. Like the families who need high-quality childcare and pre-k, workers who want to go back to school, and Main Streets who are being revitalized by our grants. Those are the folks that our budget is for.

Contrary to claims made by its proponents, the mass deportations' components of the Big Beautiful Bill will not improve its CBO score. Indeed, it will make it much worse. Accounting for lost net revenue from immigrants adds nearly $1 trillion in additional cost.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

We have a few dogs we’ve rescued who are old and sick and don’t go far. They do wander off sometimes for a pee and it’s hard to find them in the jungle. Not any more 😂😂😂

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Trump keeps using Mafia-like threats to get firms "not to publicly attribute price hikes to tariffs." When Mattel's CEO talked of this, he responded: “We’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States... I wouldn’t want to have him as an executive too long.”

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Chance is still learning to live in a house. She spent 10 years in the jungle and got abused. Her comfort mechanism when I’m out or asleep is my shoe. She doesn’t chew it or destroy it. She just gently gets it and always has it beside her She likes it here now ❤️

“There are only two kinds of society in which armed agents of the government routinely conceal their identities: (1) Lawless failed states… (2) Authoritarian states… Stable democracies do not allow agents of the state to operate under cover of concealment.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-secret...

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

A Trump intermediary tells CNN’s parent company that they can buy peace with Trump by making a highly flattering documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Trump Jr, which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money. The move appears to meet the legal standard for extortion.

Communities aren’t staying silent about ICE… 18-year-old Massachusetts high school student Marcelo Gomes was taken by ICE on his way to volleyball practice Saturday morning. No word on where he’s being held. Marcelo missed graduation today, so Milford HS graduates marched to rally in solidarity.

Marilyn Monroe, born 99 years ago today. When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe (at the height of her own fame) called the owner and told him if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night. And she did. #RIP
