NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!

From cradle to career, we're investing in every child’s future, and it’s paying off. Thanks to historic investments, Illinois jumped to #4 in Pre-K to 12th Education according to US News & World Report. All part of our mission to make our state the best to raise a family in.

I like presidents who make war on cancer, not on cancer researchers. This #MothersDay, how many of you have mothers who were hurt by cancer? Be outraged. In their name or memory, tell your legislators you don’t vote for cancer promoters. Congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Trump reduced British auto tariffs to benefit luxury carmakers like Rolls Royce. Meanwhile, the costs of essential goods like strollers, medications, and clothing are skyrocketing. So the rest of America has to go without but he's happy to help his rich friends buy luxury cars?

The US is reportedly encouraging countries to adopt Musk’s Starlink in tariff trade talks

While Americans pay the price for Donald Trump's senseless trade war, it looks like Trump officials are using tariffs as a bargaining chip to get sweetheart deals for Elon Musk’s companies. Looks like corruption to me.

CFPB employees can't own stocks in companies that the agency regulates. A DOGE employee was warned by ethics lawyers that he held nearly $700K in stock in such companies. He then carried out mass firings at the agency – including those ethics lawyers. The corruption couldn’t be any more blatant.

This gets papered over as old man yelling at clouds but this is impeachable by itself. Greenland is our ally which has allowed a continual U.S. military presence since WWII, including a vital part of our missile defense and space surveillance. Threatening them is unacceptable.

A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day. Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

The Trump Administration is trying to destroy the little agency that's put $21 billion back in the pockets of Americans who have been ripped off by big banks and giant corporations. But Congress created the CFPB, and we’re fighting back.

This lawsuit is about ending the RIFs. It’s big. And one reason this is important for #NIH is because it can help stop rescission massive budget cuts. Many of the contracting staff have been (allegedly illegally) RIF’d. 1/3

From our spot at NIH we look at this and feel similarly. When we see Democrats in Congress voting for Trump nominees it makes us feel like they’re not with us, that they are hanging #NIH and all federal workers out to dry. Do they not know what is happening?!

If anyone out there was undecided on whether Trump is operationalizing a precise, coordinated plan to destroy our democracy so he can rule until he dies, the move to shut down Act Blue, the primary way Democrats’ campaigns are funded, should be the final proof point.

Since 1945, American Universities have been envied worldwide for their Government-funded research. Hard to justify via corporate R&D, frontier science is vital to our long-term health, wealth, & security. To withhold University funding is to amputate the engines that Make America Great.
