Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

What's happening in Ukraine is both tragedy and travesty. If the U.S. withdraws from NATO and it can't step up without our support, it will also be disaster and atrocity. And all of it can be laid at the feet of the traitor, Donald Trump. More in my latest: www.marytrump.org/p/at-the-ful...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Zelenskyy challenging a US official to join him in a visit to an active frontline is iconic. Unlike other countries whose leadership wages war from thousands of miles away, he has visited the trench line on multiple occasions. Armed himself to fight Russian special forces sent to kill him in Kyiv.
