I want you all to know that Illinois is and will always be a safe haven for reproductive freedom. The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision didn't end abortion in America — instead, states like ours are leading the charge in ensuring your rights are protected.

NEW: FBI Abandons Stephen Miller’s Migrant Round-Up in Humiliating Blow Federal investigators are being pulled off migrant duty to ensure that potential Iranian terror threats are spotted and thwarted.

Maybe the tweeting didn’t help?

Mic drop.

3 years ago today SCOTUS overturned Roe. They took away a right that gave women autonomy and spared millions of children from being born into trauma, neglect, or systems that fail them. This was never about protecting life. It was about power. I stand in solidarity with all women. ✊

The GOP budget bill would cut $800,000,000 from Medicare. 68,000 Americans die each year due to lack of healthcare. Explain how that’s “America First”

Ossoff: We usually get this, which specifies how many folks you intend to employ. What we have is a 26-page PowerPoint. Here, it specifies about $17 billion in cuts to medical services. Who are you cutting? Collins: We’ll have more information as we go forward.

The GOP’s Big Ugly Bill deliberately kneecaps clean energy projects that are creating good-paying jobs and lowering energy costs. I won't stand for that. And neither should anyone who claims to care about jobs, economic growth, or energy security.

This might be the funniest thing to ever happen. But also it’s terrible.

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

Three years ago, a corrupt Supreme Court seized our rights and overturned Roe v. Wade. The resulted is just what we predicted. Women dying because they can't get basic healthcare. Doctors afraid to treat patients. We will not stop fighting until abortion rights are restored.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care. She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor. This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

As he should. Nothing but respect and love for Zelensky and Ukraine 🇺🇦💙

I keep wondering about how media coverage of middle east conflicts and wars repeatedly notes how the EU is "sidelined". Shouldn't that read as "not bogged down in that unholy mess"? How exactly is that a bad thing, especially given how the U.S. tried and failed to extricate itself repeatedly?

"I get that he's the president, he's the commander in chief, he's the only one we have, but I'm uneasy broadcasting his tweets and his comments on a newscast, because I don't know if he knows what he's talking about." @nicollewallace.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

@jahimes.bsky.social: "I certainly remember when George W. Bush landed on an aircraft carrier and declared ‘Mission Accomplished.’ Well, a couple of years later, his approval ratings are 26%, we've got 4400 dead Americans because of Iraq. So let's wait before the champagne comes off the ice."

"NEW: A preliminary classified US report says the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites sealed off the entrances to two of the facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings, setting the program back by just a few months. So much for obliterate!"-Amy Siskind

Congratulations to Rep. Robert Garcia for being elected Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. The work of this committee has never been more critical. Let’s get the American people the accountability they deserve.

CARTER: How could you possibly justify the decision to terminate HIV vaccines studies? RFK JR: We've been promising an HIV vaccine since 1984 and every year Congress pours money into it CARTER: Because they haven't come up with one, you then cut the forward motion by getting rid of NIH dollars?

The Heritage Foundation is the most dangerous sleeper cell in the United States.

This is exactly right!

I would expect nothing more from this piece of shit. Of course he did. Of. Course. He. Did.

1. Donald is embarrassed by shoddy military birthday parade. 2. Donald's bill in Congress is wildly unpopular. 3. Donald's ICE kidnappings are wildly unpopular. 4. To distract, Donald bombs Iran. 5. This is wildly unpopular too. 6. So Donald declares ceasefire. 7. Iran/Israel ignore Donald.

This is good and important www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

We need to start pushing back—legally If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators. 🎥 Record. 📍 Share location. 📞 Call the police. “ICE vest” is not an ID.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

I thought I saw an Iranian sleeper cell in masks, camo and assault rifles kidnap people from a job site and thrown them into a van, then I realized it was ICE.

Everyone needs to start reporting ICE agents are Iranian sleeper cells.

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

It’s deeply disturbing that FAA Administrator nominee Bryan Bedford refuses to commit to upholding the 1,500-hour pilot training standard.   After the DCA crash and surge in near-misses, now is NOT the time to weaken flight training requirements for pilots.   I’ll be voting no.

JUST HAPPENED: West: “You can’t violate another country’s sovereignty.” Jennings: “Why? We do it all the time. Who’s going to stop us?” He admitted America breaks the law constantly—and then dared the world to do something about it. That’s not journalism. That’s fascism on live TV.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

Republican Rep. #KatCammack Is the WORST kind of politician and woman who was forced to have an "emergency operation" after an #EctopicPregnancy IT WAS AN #ABORTION YOU HYPOCRITICAL SHREW! And TRULY hope EVERY SINGLE ONE of your supporters in #Florida 's 3rd Congressional district bury you for it!

🤬🤬 F*CK the Supreme Court!! This decision is horrific beyond words!!’

💯

Jasmine is prepared to voice her concerns.

This was a rather dramatic way to change the subject and divert attention from that sad birthday parade.
