No Donald, Chicago is not your war zone

Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger. You didn’t earn the right to wear it. Stolen valor at its worst.

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked my amendment to ensure Veterans, foster kids and the homeless aren’t denied SNAP benefits. There is no one Republicans won’t betray to ram through tax cuts for their billionaire buddies.

Amid his disastrous war of choice and self-created economic crisis, Donald Trump flew halfway around the world to flatter a foreign dictator—and came back with nothing to show for it. Nothing about that is "America first."

It was my honor to speak with SFC Jose Serrano today after successfully advocating for his wife’s release from ICE detention. I’ll never stop working to protect those who sacrifice for our nation.

Deisy Rivera Ortega is finally home. I’m thankful to DHS Secretary Mullin for heeding my personal call to release Deisy, the wife of Sgt. 1st Class Jose Serrano. But she—and so many others—should never have been in this situation to begin with. They fought for this country, we must fight for them.

Higher grocery bills? Blame the man who doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation.”

Legislation that would allow the year-round sale of E15 just passed the House! 🌽 With gas at $4.50 a gallon, this would help our farmers and give people a cheaper, cleaner option at the pump. If Trump is serious about lowering costs, he’d help make sure this passes the Senate.

Today, for the seventh time, Senate Republicans voted against a War Powers Resolution that would end Trump's illegal war. A war that has already cost $29 billion and driven up the cost of gas to $4.50 a gallon. Once again, Republicans chose Trump over the American people.

Inflation is outpacing wages for the first time in three years, and Trump wants $1 billion of your money for his golden ballroom.

Help with daycare? Too expensive. Healthcare you can afford? Nope. But paying his friend millions of taxpayer dollars to paint the bottom of the Reflecting Pool? Absolutely. The corruption never ends.

Remember when Trump said “we can't take care of daycare?” Now he wants $1 billion taxpayer dollars for his golden ballroom.

"It's their fertilizer that's stranded, not our fertilizer." Try telling this to the majority of American farmers who can't afford the fertilizer they need because the Strait is closed. It’s a global commodity, of course it impacts us.
