A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

Let's shine a gigantic spotlight on this asshole. He shouldn't be able to step out in public without being recognized and castigated. Evil thrives in the shadows. We MUST drag the entire rat warren into the sun and expose them for all to see.

In oral arguments, Justices Sotomayor and Kagan clearly picking up what I put down in my column: what is the logic of dealing with the issue of nationwide injunctions in a case involving such a clearly unconstitutional executive order? That is so backward.

Unlike the thorny issue of nationwide injunctions, the constitutional birthright citizenship question easy: No, Trump can't deny citizenship to people born in America to parents he doesn't like. The Court can and should just say that. Case closed, Trump loses. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/14/o...

I just attended a hearing in federal court for my constituent, Dr. Badar Khan Suri, who was detained without charges and imprisoned without due process in Texas, far from his wife and young children. He is in America legally, a postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown. My statement:

If the Supreme Court - especially THIS Supreme Court - no longer takes DHS at its word, corporate media probably shouldn’t either. Just sayin.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Senator Cory Booker is showing America what real leadership looks like: genuine heart, fierce compassion, relentless dedication, and brilliant integrity. He's teaching a masterclass in humanity—and making history while he's at it. America, take notes. THIS is how it's done. Love him. #CoryBooker

The Forest Public Library isn’t just an early voting site—this morning it was a hub of energy. Voters arrived, ballots in hand, ready to make their voices heard. Outside, we kicked off a canvass launch with a team of local supporters, ready to hit the doors and turn out the vote.

the year is 2025: you're waiting to watch the president of the united states sign an executive order abolishing the department of education, while learned canadians are being advised not to travel here and wondering if your neighbors will be yanked off the street by masked government thugs.

More of this, please! Chicago is on fire, letting Musk know they are not on board with his billionaire power grab. Let's continue pushing to make Tesla the next corporate pariah. Well done, Chicagoans, for using your voice to let him know what you think of his takeover of our government.
