After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. yahoo.com/news/articles/…
Healthcare isn't and shouldn't be a privilege: it's a basic right. I've worked hard to lower drug costs and protect reproductive healthcare in Springfield, and I'll keep fighting for it in Congress.
60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law; a major step for racial justice. That same year, the Vietnam War escalated. As a State Rep and son of refugees, I know the right to vote is personal. We honor this milestone by continuing the fight for voting rights for all. #IL09

@mattyglesias More likely, all the blather about cuts was just cover to hide the way he gutted all the regulatory agencies overseeing his business interests.
Far too many mothers are entangled in the system and forced to leave their children. Mass incarceration has a ripple effect and causes trauma that can last generations within a single family.
