All of us must be civil rights activists at this moment. Just like those who showed up, stood up, and spoke out today at the National Action Network’s 2026 Convention. If we don’t have a fair election in November, we won’t have any more elections.

The war with Iran should have never happened — it must end now. Everybody will suffer from those on the front lines to those at home with rising gas prices.

Big Tech has to answer for the harm that social media is causing our children. Yesterday’s verdict confirmed these platforms were designed for addiction — and proves the Children’s Social Media Safety Act in Illinois is needed now. Great to speak with @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social on our efforts.

Republicans are selling a tax cut fantasy while hiding the fine print: no plan to replace the funding that keeps local communities running. It’s performative politics at everyone else’s expense.

Nick Corasaniti on DOJ demanding names of 2020 election workers: This spans the gamut, from professional election workers to volunteers, people who drove a bus that moved around a mobile voting unit. Just feels like a fishing expedition.

When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, and for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people,and for the people,there's only one solution,and that's impeachment and removal

One thing to say on @jemelehill.bsky.social, and knowing full-well ain't got no right to say, going on Warner Bros. News-CNN with that motley crew don't serve no purpose. All the cross-talking, mean-mouthing when added up, won't even buy a Big-Gulp at the corner 7/11. Lying liars are going to lie.
