Democratic AGs stress importance of citizen-generated evidence in challenging ICE β€’ Stateline Cellphone video has emerged as a powerful rebuttal to the Trump administration’s version of immigration enforcement incidents.

The Illinois Accountability Commission is gathering precisely the kind of evidence that will hold ICE and the Trump Administration responsible.

Journalists and bystanders are capturing what JD Vance really doesn’t want us to see.

Is this the country we want to live in?

Trump administration sends letter wiping out addiction, mental health grants The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services. The cuts could total as much as $2 billion.

Shameful and cruel.

Trump is breaking his pledge to MAHA, cutting addiction care, and pulling the plug on programs that improve Americans' mental health to prevent suicide.

Illinois is fighting for the support our people deserve β€” we'll be here for you.

This is part of the Trump administration’s Epstein Files release β€” 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, fully redacted.

This is not transparency. This is a cover-up. Follow the law and release ALL of the damn files.

It’s been a particularly heavy start to Hanukkah this year.

May the memories of those who were killed be a blessing.

May we keep in our minds the suffering of those injured.

And may we share our prayers with their families and the Jewish community in Australia.

Firing over 100 immigration judges.

Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.

Pausing asylum decisions.

And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.

Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans.

That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about.

Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

Ahead of tomorrow's CDC Vaccine Committee meeting, I made clear Republicans MUST compel RFK Jr. to answer to the Senate Health Committee for his anti-vaxx crusade.

Vaccines save lives. And the American people deserve science-led decisions from the CDC.
