Harvard CAPS/Harris survey of 2,000 registered voters from Jan. 28-29 found 51% believe Trump performs worse than Biden, likely voters split 50-50. Economic views fuel the shift: 63% see the economy as worse now, and Trump's overall approval dipped to 45%. Independents and Democrats lean negative.

Rubio Says Venezuela Will Submit Monthly Budget to White House

Shouldn't we fix our own domestic problems, of which there are many, before we takeover and oversee Venezuela? WTF

Thank you @amyklobuchar.com!

Support among House Democrats for impeaching HHS Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100+ co-sponsors after Robin Kelly introduced articles of impeachment. This is the same leadership Robin will bring to the US Senate.

Happy Small Business Saturday!

Illinois families have lost $766 so far this year due to Trump’s inflation, according to the U.S. Senate Joint Economic.

Meanwhile, Republicans do nothing to lower costs.

Illinois Democrats are fighting for working families.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends in the 2nd Congressional District of Illinois!!!

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance

The loss of transgender and gender non-conforming community members' lives, including as a result of violence and hate, often goes unreported (or misreported) in the media. Today, we raise awareness about anti-transgender violence. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Today, we honor all who served in uniform. Thank you for the selfless sacrifices our veterans have made for our country.

Democrats everywhere, who are fighting back against Trump’s chaos and extremism—proving that leadership, compassion, and results still matter.

The affordabilty crisis was caused by Trump.

And yes, Trump was on the ballot. And lost!

Stay strong!

Trump got the message from American voters, as evidenced by these posts.

Trump wasn’t on the ballot on Tuesday — but still took a major loss “Hopefully POTUS starts focusing less on international stuff and more on domestic issues,” one White House official told MSNBC after losses in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City rolled in.

Big, big night for Democrats and lovers of democracy from coast to coast. The Fox News talking point black voters would stay home was clearly debunked in New Jersey! The rumors of the death of the Democratic Party has been greatly exaggerated.
