Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Donald Trump is making sure his friends, from Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk, are getting massive tax cuts. Instead of lowering prices for working families, his taxes will make life harder than ever. Here in Illinois, we're finding a way forward together to fight the challenges.

Trump is apparently sending this to all Federal employees with a Monday midnight deadline. Aside from its utter absurdity, my question is does the Donald have to address this too? Because with all that golf I’m not so sure he wants to be put under the same scrutiny.🤔

Trump and Republicans are continuing the years-long effort to attack civil rights & dismantle any policy that uplifts Black folks. Our #HR40Reparations bill would push back and help America address the legacy of slavery and its shameful history of systemic racism. youtube.com/shorts/EIxRF...

Reminder once more that the President has ZERO authority to reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose. And an unelected billionaire oligarch has even less than ZERO authority to hijack & reallocate funds. This is a coup. A hostile takeover. A Constitutional crisis.

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury. Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk. Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠

Illinoisans are going to pay the price for Donald Trump’s tariffs on our largest trading partners. Let's call it what it is: Trump’s Tax on Working Families. And when people lose jobs because of it, that's the biggest tax of all.

BREAKING: Trump implies that he might prosecute Biden because he didn't pardon himself. "This guy went around giving everyone pardons and you know the funny thing — maybe the sad thing — is he didn't give himself a pardon and if you look at it, it all had to do with him," said Trump.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯
