Stephen Miller is MAGA in its purest form -- a xenophobe steering the country toward ruin.

Voters made it crystal clear on Tuesday that they want Miller, Trump, and this entire Administration held accountable. We're ready.

Trump announces Stephen Miller will be his new White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles.

Last Tuesday night, as we awaited election returns, fifteen masked Israel Police and Shin Bet officers entered the home of journalist Abed Abu Shehadeh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and took him into custody.

Today, I joined fellow incoming Congressmembers @DanielBiss & @Scott_Wiener in sending a letter to Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. @yechielleiter, calling for his immediate release.

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

I am so proud to be chosen as the next Congressman from the 9th District of Illinois! This win couldn’t have been possible without so many amazing people and organizations who worked so hard to make this happen.

From the bottom of my heart: thank you.

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

Honored to join the Pink Poster Club to canvass our neighbors to the north for @MBermanWI and Wisconsin Dems!

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. @bradlander and I urge Michiganders to vote for Abdul El-Sayed, a leader who will fight for a healthier, safer, and more just future for all.

One year ago, ICE terrorized our community on Halloween. Yesterday we came together to remember, to reflect, and to make clear — we have not forgotten, and we are not done fighting.

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

Nurses show up for us every single day. The work they do is critical and I will always fight for every nurse’s right to organize, bargain collectively, and advocate for their patients without fear of retaliation.

The IDF detained congressional candidate Lander and his group simply for being part of the olive harvest in the West Bank. Instead of protecting Palestinians from the violent marauding Israeli settler groups, this is how they operate. It’s unacceptable.

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.

The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

I was proud to join Michigan Jews for Democracy in Detroit last night to talk about why I’m supporting @AbdulElSayed for Senate. With antisemitism rising, Abdul has shown a real commitment to Jewish safety. He’s the right choice for our community and our country.

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

This morning, I was honored to vote early with the legendary @RepSchakowsky!

This election is far too important to sit on the sidelines. Early voting has expanded across Illinois, be sure to find your polling place and make your plan to vote now ➡️ https://t.co/SIN4yj3dHZ

Today is my last day as mayor of the City of Evanston. These last 5+ years have been an incredible privilege, and I have learned so much from the people of this great community. Thank you, Evanston.

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

Out in Arlington Heights today joining with neighbors to say loud and clear:

👑❌ No Kings!
🗳️✅ Vote early!

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

I stand with Chicagoland’s Hindu community after last weekend's thwarted attack on the temple in Aurora. Thank you to law enforcement and neighbors who intervened. Violence and hate against Indian Americans is unacceptable, and it's on all of us to speak out and stop it.

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

My heart hurts for the victims, loved ones and people of Oregon. No family, no community, no country should have to face this trauma.

America deserves leaders who won’t back down on gun safety. America deserves more than this.

I'm grateful for the @DailyHerald’s endorsement, which called our work in Evanston “energetic and in many ways, groundbreaking.” Now let’s bring that energy to Congress.

Raiding the home of Congresswoman Omar based on a decades-old alleged paperwork error is part of Trump’s escalating effort to stoke fear and chaos and repress dissent. This is authoritarianism.

I hope political officials - Republicans and Democrats - will make clear that this is unacceptable. I stand with Ilhan Omar.

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

Today we mourn those killed during the horrific October 7 attacks and all those killed since in Israel and Palestine.

There can be no progress toward justice or peace if we fail to recognize the killing of civilians anywhere. My commitment continues to be to a future where both Israelis and Palestinians live in peace, security, and the dignity of self-determination.

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

Young people have the most at stake in this election, and they're on the front lines of the fight against Trump. I really enjoyed my time with the NU College Dems, and I look forward to seeing you get involved in these final weeks.

What happened in Evanston last month wasn't isolated. Trump’s federal agents have arrested, detained, and violated the Constitutional rights of hundreds of American citizens. Congress must hold the Trump administration accountable.

[ProPublica @propublica]

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens.

We are.

500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term.

Our tally is almost certainly an undercount.

We are beyond fortunate to have @peerservicesinc here in our community, providing the resources for substance abuse recovery. It was wonderful to join everyone yesterday morning for their annual Step Up for Recovery walk!
