The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.
This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities.
It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

Bruce Sagan, community news publisher and arts advocate, dies at 96
Bruce Sagan, the Chicago newspaperman who turned a failing neighborhood weekly into a platform for investigative reporting, built one of the largest community
Bruce Sagan was one of Chicago's greats — a true renaissance man.
He reshaped newsrooms, theaters, and city streets by bringing the city together and lifting local stories.
MK and I send our deepest condolences to his family. May his memory be a blessing.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”
Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.
A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”
Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

GOP's Save Act would require a birth certificate that matches the person registering to vote. However, 69M married women have changed their legal name, so it will not match their birth certificate. That tracks with the GOP's goal of stripping women of their right to vote…
What about men?

Donald Trump ended the National Blue Ribbon Schools program this year.
But, I believe that educational excellence should be celebrated — and it's why we're picking up where they've dropped the ball.
I’m recognizing 28 schools in IL as the 2025 Governor’s Blue Ribbon Schools.

Sister Jean was a role model in Illinois — inspiring us to embrace our neighbors.
As a lover of life, she taught us to channel positivity to keep us hopeful in times of need and kept that attitude all the way to a life well-lived at 106 years old.
May her memory be a blessing.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.
Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
