- Trump scolded a @cnn.com reporter for not smiling enough. Trump said when a person never smiles, it means they are lying. #TrumpNeverSmiles
- New poll shows Joe Biden did a better job than Donald J. Trump! Obviously!
- Thank you 'Bad Bunny' and look forward to a fabulous Super Bowl halftime show by a great American!
- Shouldn't we fix our own domestic problems, of which there are many, before we takeover and oversee Venezuela? WTF
- Thank you @amyklobuchar.com!
- Support among House Democrats for impeaching HHS Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100+ co-sponsors after Robin Kelly introduced articles of impeachment. This is the same leadership Robin will bring to the US Senate. www.axios.com/2026/01/20/k...
- MASSIVE PROTEST AGAINST ICE IN MINNEAPOLIS! It'll be a cold day in hell before the great people of Minneapolis allow Trump and his band of thugs continue to terrorize this great American city!
- A sizable majority believes that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone too far, according to a poll from The New York Times and Siena University.
- Donald Trump rescinds an invitation to Canada to join his 'Board of Dictators,' which Canada never accepted in the first place. The way to defeat Trumpism is by resisting. Be sure to vote for the midterms and return Democrats to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House.
- Donald Trump links threats to seize Greenland to Nobel prize snub in letter. US president says he no longer feels the need to think ‘purely of peace’ in letter to Norwegian prime minister You heard that correctly. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
- Today, we honor the life, legacy, and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His dream of justice, equality, and opportunity for all continues to inspire us. After reflecting on his powerful words: What is your dream for our future? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
- We are proud to share one of our own, Bishop Ronald Hicks, has been appointed by Pope Leo XIV as the Archbishop of New York City. Bishop Hicks was born in Harvey, Illinois, and raised in the 2nd Congressional District. He attended St. Jude the Apostle Parish and School in South Holland. #IL2Proud

- President Donald Trump recorded another first, this time not commemorating #WorldAIDSDay. President Joe Biden delivered remarks on December 1, 2024. President George W. Bush commemorated the day on December 1, 2008. Every president since 1988, except this year. #ShameShameShameOnTrump

- Happy Small Business Saturday! Today is all about celebrating the local shops, makers, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who keep our communities strong. Small businesses are the backbone of our country! When you choose to shop small, you’re investing in making our towns vibrant and our economy thrive.
- Illinois families have lost $766 so far this year due to Trump’s inflation, according to the U.S. Senate Joint Economic. Meanwhile, Republicans do nothing to lower costs. Illinois Democrats are fighting for working families.
- Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends in the 2nd Congressional District of Illinois!!!
- Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance The loss of transgender and gender non-conforming community members' lives, including as a result of violence and hate, often goes unreported (or misreported) in the media. Today, we raise awareness about anti-transgender violence. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
- Today, we honor all who served in uniform. Thank you for the selfless sacrifices our veterans have made for our country.
- Democrats everywhere, who are fighting back against Trump’s chaos and extremism—proving that leadership, compassion, and results still matter. The affordabilty crisis was caused by Trump. And yes, Trump was on the ballot. And lost!
- Trump got the message from American voters, as evidenced by these posts.
- Big, big night for Democrats and lovers of democracy from coast to coast. The Fox News talking point black voters would stay home was clearly debunked in New Jersey! The rumors of the death of the Democratic Party has been greatly exaggerated.

- Thank you @jayapal.house.gov, @chuygarcia.house.gov, @ramirez.house.gov and Rep. Danny Davis for pushing back against the assault on the American people y the Trump administration. And aq special thank you to our very own representative in #IL2, Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov!
- This is a national disgrace, done without any public input or the consent of the U.S. Congress. The work of a dictator unaccountable to anyone. Let's wake up Republicans in the Congress, or Trump will render the Congress useless.
- Democrats are good for the economy!
- If Congress lets enhanced premium tax credits expire, 4 million Americans will lose health coverage — including 1.1 million Black Americans. Healthcare isn’t a luxury. It’s a right. Congress must act now to keep coverage affordable and protect every family’s care.
- Remember when . . . ?
- Citizen Action/Illinois is hosting a free, public forum with U.S. Senate candidates on Monday, October 6, 2025, from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM (CST) at Chicago State University. This is your chance to hear directly from candidates, ask questions, and get informed before the election! mobilize.us/s/OPw2pq
- Thank you to @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social for being one many showing leadership in the resistance against the Trump adminisyration. "🤝Chicago is united -- and in that solidarity we will find the strength to fight back and defeat the Trump regime." #HandsOffChicago
- Republicans are lying that the ACA covers undocumented individuals. It does not. The ACA law states an “individual must be a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States” to purchase a plan. Democrats have not proposed any changes to that provision.
- Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL2) condemned Trump for sabotaging the $1.9 billion Red Line Extension project, falsely claiming the project's "race-based contracting." The Red Line extension is slated to add four train stops on the city’s South Side, improving access for disadvantaged communities.
- If Republicans don’t act now to extend enhanced premium tax credits, hundreds of thousands could lose health coverage and millions more will see premiums spike by as much as 114%. #TrumpShutdown #ShutdownDon
- Our very own, Pope Leo XIV, who grew up in the 2nd congressional district town of Dolton, Illinois, took the Trump administration to task suggesting on Tuesday that people who support the “inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States” may not be “pro life.”
