Trump promised in 2018 to negotiate a tougher accord with Iran. He never has, and he now claims it is no longer necessary. He is wrong. No matter how precisely bombs strike their “aim points,” there is simply no substitute for diplomacy in dealing with Iran’s nuclear ambitions. wapo.st/44ymb7R

The Speaker of the House insisting that Congress doesn't and shouldn't have a say in use of military force abroad is a pathetically weak abdication of Constitutional duty. The Founders anticipated the possibility of a tyrant. But they didn't think Congress would eagerly forfeit its own power.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

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.

Three years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade endangering millions of lives and stripping away our fundamental right to make our own health care decisions. Abortion is health care, and we must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to fully restore access to reproductive health care.
