Those who fear the truth or attempt to distort it face a lesson in history.
The reality of events will prevail and those who distort it will be relegated to a shameful trash heap reserved for traitors and liars.

Today is the perfect day for any Republican to condemn the January 6th insurrection—and hold Donald Trump accountable for once.
January 6, 2021 was a horrific day.
Armed insurrectionists tried overturning a free and fair election.
People lost their lives.
But Donald Trump—and the Republican Party—still show no remorse.
Best of luck to @illinoisstateu.bsky.social tonight as they face off against Montana in the FCS Championship game. Go Redbirds!
The Trump Administration’s changes to the childhood vaccine schedule will endanger children’s health and wellbeing. Decisions surrounding vaccines should be made based on sound science, not Secretary Kennedy’s conspiracy theories.
I’m honored to count Senator Mark Kelly as my colleague and friend. He risked his life in service to our country and is now being attacked by the current administration. It is wrong and it is hateful.
If the actions taken in Venezuela is the type of foreign policy that Trump supports, where does that leave Taiwan?
The Trump Admin MUST provide briefings for all Members of Congress as soon as possible this week.
However, I disagree with President Trump’s use of U.S. military forces without Congressional approval & worry deeply about this Admin’s follow through on foreign policy interventions.
Nicolás Maduro repeatedly denied the will of the Venezuelan people, including when two thirds of them voted for an end to decades of political & economic ruin and criminality.
My statement on the Trump Administration's actions in Venezuela. A THREAD.
Happy New Year! May your 2026 be filled with much love and success.
Across America, families are demanding we do something to address their skyrocketing health insurance premiums. My Republican colleagues must start listening to these families and work with Democrats to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
Merry Christmas to all those celebrating in Illinois and across the world! I hope you and your families have a day filled with light and joy.
The Trump Administration has gone too far.
The majority of Americans believe that—and so does the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority.
To my congressional Republican colleagues: The first order of business when Congress returns in the new year must be lowering Americans’ health insurance premiums. Otherwise, millions will lose their insurance or see a doubling of their premiums.
The federal government has a responsibility to those in its custody to provide a basic level of care.
But President Trump and DHS Secretary Noem refuse to show even a sliver of humanity to those they have detained.

NEWS: I sent a letter to the Army Corps of Engineers urging them to reimburse the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago for its work on the Thornton Composite Reservoir, which will be used to advance shovel-ready projects to address flooding in the Chicago area.
Trans kids just want to live their lives. President Trump shouldn’t be weaponizing crucial Medicaid and Medicare funding to make their lives even harder.
