Thankful I found some Covid masks in the side pocket of my travel bag. Unhealthy air for all people (and animals).

There’s a chance the U.S. House will vote for year-round DST. It would drastically change the time when the sun rises and sets, especially in December and June. I’m worried with DST all year that kids would be in school a whole period before the sun even rises in the Winter. What do you think?

In 2024-2025, there were 554,298 people competing in the NCAA. And 9 transgender people. Meanwhile, the GOP and this President keep screwing up your cost of living and then banging their chests so you believe they’re making your life better.

Can I get an amen? 🇺🇸

Proud to be in attendance with the Rock Island County NAACP at their Freedom Fund Banquet. Great to meet with NAACP National Director, Derrick Johnson, and hear his words on how we move past the division in our country today.

No one should ever have to live in fear of gun violence, bigotry, and hate. I am honored to earn @gabbygiffords.bsky.social support. We’re stronger when we work together to keep our communities safe. I am proud to do my part! @giffords.org

Illinois farmers want to succeed. They want certainty in their jobs. And they want us to have their backs when disaster strikes. That’s what I’m fighting for on the House Agriculture Committee.

Show this to the people in your life who don’t think their vote counts. This is from Sioux Falls, SD where Tuesday’s mayoral election difference is 2 votes. 📸: KELO-TV

Oh Marlie. 🙄

Destined for the Agriculture Committee! 🌽 “Emerging beans” was always an inside joke, but “volunteer corn” is a serious thing. Explaining complex things in an understandable way was as essential back in the day as it is for me today! Video from WQAD’s GMQC 2021.

Rockford knows how to celebrate Pride! Nothing better than being back in my hometown to celebrate with a few thousand of our closest friends and neighbors. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

Great planning meeting with Winnebago County Dems on how we will organize before November’s elections. Saving our country will take every ounce of strength and determination. 🇺🇸

Incredible to hear of a record number of Quad Citizens attending this year’s Pride! Loved seeing so many small businesses showing support. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸

My congressman @ericsorensen.bsky.social shared this on Facebook a couple years ago and I think it’s a great meme for #PrideMonth

My heart is with Harlem-Roscoe Fire as they mourn the loss of one of their own. We ask so much of every first responder and it’s my hope they feel the support and love of everyone in Illinois.

Two beaver dams were no match for me! 💪 🛶 > 🦫 🪵

Informal poll: Which is better, A or B?

Anybody who knows anything about albedo knows that this reflecting pool water will now be about 15-20° hotter than it used to be…becoming an algae cesspool. Fitting for the times we’re in.

Not the flex when 5 million Americans were priced out of their healthcare.

Trump ran on a promise to lower your costs. Now, we’ve got the highest inflation we’ve seen in years because of his war in Iran. We’re paying more for gas and groceries while Trump spends our tax dollars on foreign wars.

Hummingbirds are on the move. Here’s how you can help!

Brandon is making Bloomington proud! Join me in cheering on Brandon Holtz (and his dad!) as he competes at the 2026 Masters.

Team Sorensen is proud to stand with AFSCME Local 1110 in their fight for fair wages and contracts. Union workers are critical to Illinois State University and I will always have their backs.

Donald Trump rails against voting by mail and then votes by mail. Can’t make this stuff up! If you’re a citizen and you’re registered to vote, we need to make it easier to take part in democracy, not harder.

Happy Easter! No matter your age or faith, it’s a day to begin life with purpose.

Proud to march on #NoKings day.

The day after big storms, we often never bat an eye how the lights came back on. Today, let’s thank the men and women who are still working tirelessly to repair the damage from last night’s storms. A lot to be thankful for.

Bombing has caused the air to be so polluted with ash, soot, and oil that this is the sky over Tehran, Iran at 8:30 IN THE MORNING. As the only Meteorologist in Congress, no telling the environmental disaster this will cause the world. The war must stop. 📸: @ajenglish.bsky.social

No veteran should ever go hungry. Why is it so hard for House Republicans to support this???

There will be sell outs, but the House won’t be sold out. I’m going to make it a productive workday.

Thank you 💙

You know what they say: the cream rises to the top of Illinois!

I’m broken. I said goodbye to my best buddy of 12 years today. He was telling me he was ready, but I never could be. Oliver, I miss you looking into my heart.

@iftaft.bsky.social "It is an incredible honor to have earned the support of the Illinois Federation of Teachers. As someone who is a proud graduate of District 54 and 211 public schools, this is an incredibly meaningful endorsement to me personally and to our campaign. (1/4)

<Insert Fox News Alert gong here>

Trump has run the Kennedy Center into the ground, failed artists + workers, and disgraced the memory of JFK. Can’t sell tickets. Can’t book performers. So to hide his utter failure he is shutting it down for “renovations.” I call BULLSHIT.

I hope you’ll join me in praying for swift healing for the deputy shot last night in Peoria. My thoughts are with every brave peace officer who works in service and protection of all people.

Would you look at that?

This is why we must fight for due process!
