For too long, we’ve been stuck in the mindset that the economy can either grow, or it can become more fair. But we can actually do both at the same time, which is exactly why I’m fighting for a $25 minimum wage at the federal level. @malyndahale.bsky.social

While life gets more and more expensive every single day, Donald Trump can only seem to focus on his vanity projects and enriching himself and his friends.

While Americans struggle every day to afford groceries, gas, and healthcare, Trump gets rich off his presidency and plans a UFC match at the White House. Corruption at its finest.

It's not about being the first. I want to be one of many, and to hold the door open for those who come after me.

Trump is so obsessed with himself that he’s blind to the needs of the American people. Whether it’s the Trump-Kennedy Center, the Trump passport, or the Trump $250 bill, stop the nonsense.

Happy Pride Month, Illinois! Pride is a protest, but it is also a celebration. I’m proud to fight for LGBTQ+ rights this month and every month.

As Democrats, we need to stand up and be bold fighters for the people we represent. That's what I've promised to do since the start of this campaign, and that's how I'll show up for you in Washington.

We’ve delivered for Illinois. Now, I’m bringing that blueprint to Washington.

Government should work for the people, not the wealthiest and well connected. That's why I'm not taking a dime of corporate PAC money, and why I'm fighting to end Citizens United.

Donald Trump insists there’s no money for healthcare or childcare, but the violent insurrectionists who carried out January 6th need $1.8 billion. This is a slap in the face to all of us.

Your right to healthcare shouldn’t be up for debate.

My dad passed the baton to me, and to all of us, to stand up and be counted, and we will not let this administration strip away our right to vote.

Donald Trump uses ICE as his personal police force to terrorize our immigrant communities and rip children from their families, not to make our cities safer. It is immoral, illegal, and wrong.

As working families struggle every day to afford gas, groceries, and healthcare, Donald Trump says he doesn’t care about our “financial situations.” We deserve better.

As I’m traveling to every corner of this state, I hear over and over again that Illinoisans are looking for someone who will go to the mat fighting for them. That’s exactly the kind of leader I’ll be in Washington.

The White House is the people's house, and this country belongs to all of us. Let's make sure Donald Trump and his cronies know so, too.

The Supreme Court should be an independent branch of government, but instead it's rubber stamping the President's authoritarian agenda. We need reform.

Trump may not be thinking about Americans’ financial situations, but I am. I’m working hard to make your life more affordable, and that starts with a tax cut for the middle class, not Trump’s wealthiest friends.

Donald Trump does not want us to have another election, that's why he's trying to suppress the vote all across the country. We need to act on the federal level to stop his power grab in its tracks, and that's exactly what I plan to do when I get to Washington.

Here in Illinois, we’ve protected access to vaccines. But to prevent the spread of measles and other illnesses, we need to bring that fight to the federal level. That’s exactly what I’ll do when I get to Washington.

As I travel the state and hear from voters who are looking for a real fighter in Washington, I’m proud to be able to look them in the eye and say: I am that fighter.

My dad didn't march for voting rights just for Trump's Supreme Court to rip them away. We will fight back.

Justice will come.

Today we commemorate the hard-fought wins of workers and unions across the world. I will always fight for workers' rights, fair pay, and an economy that works for working families!

The Supreme Court should be a check on the president, and instead they’re rubber stamping his authoritarian agenda. I won’t give Donald Trump an inch when I get to the U.S. Senate.

I will always fight for voting rights — in honor of my dad, and every American who deserves to make our voices heard.

Today’s Supreme Court decision is voter suppression. This issue is personal to me, and I’m not going to sit back while they strip away our rights.

I was so glad to join @chicagolabor.bsky.social for the May Day 5k yesterday! I’m running — all the way to the U.S. Senate — so I can keep fighting for workers’ rights alongside great partners like CFL.

You shouldn’t have to choose between going to the doctor or paying your bills. With Medicare for All, we can build a future where everyone has access to quality, affordable healthcare.

One year ago, I launched my campaign for U.S. Senate. And what a year it's been! Let’s bring it home, Illinois!

Over the past year of this campaign, I’ve listened, I’ve learned, and I’ve fought for Illinois. Onto November.

We don’t need policy to be made for us, but with us and by us. The wisdom is in the room.

What I’m hearing over and over again as I travel the state is that people are looking for bold leaders who will go to the mat fighting for them. And that’s exactly who I am.

Women’s History Month may be over, but I’m still thinking about all the incredible women in my life who have shaped me. Take some time to thank a woman you love today!

This week is Black Maternal Health Week, an issue close to my heart. I’m proud of the work I’ve done here in Illinois on Birth Equity, and I’m ready to bring that fight all the way to Washington.

Hard-working families shouldn’t have to pay the price for Trump’s chaos. That’s why I’m fighting for Medicare for All, a livable wage, and getting corporate money out of politics.

This is not normal. We shouldn’t have to wake up to depictions of our president as Jesus, and have Republicans in Congress who refuse to stand up to him.

We need real fixes to our immigration system. Snatching people off the streets, detaining them with no due process, and terrorizing our communities isn’t helping anyone.

In Illinois we’ve raised the minimum wage, created thousands of good-paying jobs, protected reproductive rights, and expanded access to affordable healthcare.

We can’t let our president threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. Invoke the 25th Amendment now.

We don’t need anything else named after Trump. What we need is access to healthcare, affordable housing, and lower costs for American families.

We lost my dad in November, but I carry his legacy on in everything I do. Dad, we did it, and I’m going to keep fighting to make this world a better place just like you taught me.

Let’s go, Illinois! I-L-L!! 🧡💙

Trump said it himself, he's more focused on "fighting wars" than making sure families can afford healthcare and child care. We're paying the price for Trump's ego and incompetence.

My dad didn’t march for voting rights just for a wannabe dictator like Trump to come take them away. I’ll always fight for your right to vote, by mail or otherwise.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, Illinois! I will always work to uplift and fight for the trans community and trans youth. 🏳️‍⚧️💙

We've been asking for healthcare and a living wage, not for Trump to terrorize our communities and drag us into war. No Kings.

Chicago showed up today. No kings.

Illinois is ready for bold leadership, and that’s exactly what I’ll bring to Washington.

If you want to know how I’ll show up for you in the U.S. Senate, just look what we’ve done here in Illinois! That’s the blueprint I’m bringing to Washington.

My mission has been the same since the start of this campaign: make your life more affordable, expand opportunities for the middle class, and protect our rights and our democracy. That doesn’t change now. On to November!

Tuesday was a big win, Illinois. Now the work continues.

Time and time again, Illinois shows up. Now, let’s bring this fight straight to Donald Trump’s door.

Let’s be bold, Illinois. Vote Juliana March 17.

2 days. I’ll see you at the polls, Illinois! 🗳️

It was great to be in the 44th Ward tonight with Commissioner Precious Brady-Davis stopping by a few Oscar’s watch parties! Who do you think will take home Best Picture?
