Deerfield, Illinois
Joined April 2011
I just voted to send the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act to the Senate. Retweet if you think the Senate should act on this immediately.

The bottom line is assault rifles are legally sold in our country. This is a uniquely American phenomenon. Day after day we see mass shootings. Enough is enough. We must ban assault rifles.

I will do everything in my power to get military-style assault weapons off our streets and out of our communities. I will work to restrict access to large-capacity magazines that allow a shooter to fire 80 rounds in less than a minute.

49 years ago, the Supreme Court upheld a women’s right to choose. Today, after countless attempts from Republicans to strip away the right to choose, it’s more important than ever that we codify Roe v. Wade.

In just one year, the Biden administration has put over 250 million vaccines in American arms, unemployment has dropped to 3.9% and our economy is growing at its fastest rate in 40 years. We should all be celebrating the resilience of the American spirit and the Biden Boom.

It’s been more than 6 months since 147 R’s voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election — merely hours after a deadly mob invaded our Capitol. I’m working to hold those members accountable, and I refuse to work with representatives who remain election deniers.

Mike Flynn has been one of my opponent’s biggest endorsers, even throwing a fundraiser for him. Meanwhile, he’s pleading the 5th to basic constitutional questions. Joe Severino: proud friend of the ultra-MAGA J-6ers. He may be good for Flynn, but he’s too extreme for Illinois.
Still blown away that when Mike Flynn, a retired General, was asked if he believed in the peaceful transition of power, instead of saying yes, he asserted his 5th amendment right to avoid giving an answer that would incriminate him.

THEY DID IT!!!! The Illinois Senate just passed a sweeping gun reform package supported by @MomsDemand that will ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines, address gun trafficking and close dangerous loopholes. The bill now returns to the Illinois House for concurrence. 💪.

I don’t know why I have to keep saying this… “unless you are talking about Nazis and the Holocaust, better to not make comparisons to Nazis and the Holocaust.” GOP Nominee Darren Bailey’s comments reflect profound disrespect for the suffering of the Jewish community.
Darren Bailey, the Republican candidate for governor of Illinois, said in 2017 that the murder of Jews during the Holocaust "doesn’t even compare" to the atrocity of women having abortions.

Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy say they didn’t watch these emotional hearings. That’s shameful. Thank you for telling your story, Officer Dunn. We have your back.
Officer Dunn: "I told them to just leave the Capitol, and in response they yelled, 'no man, this is our house. President Trump invited us here. We're here to stop the steal.'". He goes on to detail how crowd yelled racial slurs at him.

Fact check: True.
Just last week, Donald Trump stood on a debate stage and refused to condemn white supremacists. This isn’t the first time he’s been an apologist for racists. This is a pattern. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

The entire Highland Park community is justifiably proud of Mayor Rotering’s leadership through their darkest hour. I am appalled that anyone would spread misinformation about the shooting and her good work, but even more disgusted by someone doing so for political gain.
