Officially 8 months into an illegal war the President said would only take a few weeks. 22 servicemembers killed. Hundreds more wounded. Munitions stockpile drained. Military bases damaged. Diplomatic footprint eroded. $47+ billion spent. Republican inaction is unforgivable.

Dolores Huerta was a true force for good. She taught us all what it means to fight for the voiceless, ensuring generations of workers have better wages, safer working conditions and a fairer shot at the American Dream.   Her legacy will inspire us forever. ¡Sí, se puede!

That makes 5 out of more than 300. Hardly a drop in the bucket. Can't say you've removed "all barriers" when there's still billions in energy projects being illegally blocked.

SCOOP: The Trump administration is approving 3 more wind projects (2 in Illinois and 1 in Iowa) stalled by the Pentagon in a bid to win Dem support for the bipartisan permitting reform bill. It’s the 2nd tranche of ongoing approvals. Text subscribers got it first!

Senate Republicans keep telling Americans that Trump is fighting to lower prices. Someone should tell Donald Trump.

ICE is not doing enough to protect the immigrants in its custody. Its negligence is killing people and tearing families apart. This Administration must answer for its role in this travesty.

Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois. Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money. Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

Scoop in @PunchbowlNews AM: 4 Senate Democrats led by @SenDuckworth are pushing back on the bipartisan permitting reform bill, arguing it will further enable Trump to favor fossil fuel projects and won’t stop its attacks on clean energy. Merkley, Markey, Wyden join new letter

NEWS: A new report reveals Trump’s personal oil and gas holdings have nearly doubled in value, now worth as much as $81.6 million compared to as much as $46 million last year.   The President is profiting off Americans' suffering. And he couldn't be prouder.

So when you’re paying hundreds more for gas per month, remember: The President doesn’t give a damn.

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

The Governor said no.
The Supreme Court said no.   And the last time he tried to send the National Guard in, it cost taxpayers $21 million.   Never again. Trump is not a king.

Trump on National Guard in Chicago: You can violate the governor—you can go in. There are certain conditions, national emergencies like in Chicago we could have that place fixed up in two weeks.

Americans paid an extra $310 for groceries in Trump’s first year in office alone. Now ground beef is over $7 a pound and coffee is topping $9. Families can't afford Trump's broken promises.

Trump slashed 30% of the CDC’s workforce, weakening our ability to detect outbreaks, fight disease and protect American lives.   You can't make America healthy again by firing the people who protect our public health.

This is horrifying. They're sending armed agents door to door, traumatizing children and demanding proof of citizenship. And next, they'll be at our polling places.   The lengths Trump will go to cling to power are shocking and un-American.

Over and over again, Trump has denied disaster relief to Illinois. Because apparently, his government can afford tax cuts for billionaires but not help for families in their greatest moments of need. Despicable.

Wages are down. Inflation is up. Over 5 million people have lost SNAP benefits. And we’ve had more days in 2026 where gas was above $4 a gallon than any other year. While Trump is billions richer. There's a clear "winner" in Trump's America. And it isn't you.

Their cruelty has no bottom. Why should Americans volunteer to sacrifice for our country if our government won't protect their loved ones from being torn apart back home? This isn’t helping recruitment, retention or morale. And it sure isn’t making any of us safer.
