Stepped into a true Peoria staple at @FredsShoeRepair!
Amazing to see a family-run business celebrating 53 years! Great meeting Ray, his son Jared, and the team keeping this longtime tradition going strong.
I am just sickened to learn of the tragedy today in Muscatine, Iowa. I reached out to Congresswoman Miller-Meeks and offered my condolences and support. We must find ways to settle our differences without the use of guns. I share my sorrow with everyone involved. #MuscatineStrong https://t.co/PZXPOTVseX
My heart is with Harlem-Roscoe Fire as they mourn the loss of one of their own. We ask so much of every first responder and it’s my hope they feel the support and love of everyone in Illinois.
This is me, ten years ago after my life-saving surgery. I know what it means to hurt. And I know what it feels like to have the bills pile up and wonder how you’ll ever really survive.
My life’s experience drives my work. And it’s why I am fighting so hard for lower your health care costs. Everyone should have the ability to be well…an American value we should all share. 🇺🇸
Our nation is better off because of Congressman Barney Frank.
He blazed a new path for LGBTQ+ representation in Congress and was relentless in the fight for marriage equality.
He not only reined in Wall Street during the Great Recession, he relentlessly protected our environment, expanded affordable housing, and secured abortion rights for women all across the country.
I was able to sit with him the last time he visited the House. He told me that he was proud of me for being my true self and expressed gratitude for the people in Illinois for giving their faith to me.
Barney Frank, you will be missed but not forgotten.
The Quad Cities is home to some of the brightest minds in manufacturing and defense. On the House Armed Services Committee, I’m working to bring in good jobs for my neighbors.
Listen to what the Secretary of the Army had to say when I asked about expanding manufacturing at Rock Island Arsenal:
I spent twenty years looking out for my neighbors and earning their trust as their meteorologist.
My job was never about politics, it was about showing up during a crisis.
I’m hopeful we’ll see more trusted local broadcasters choosing to serve in a different way.
Anybody who knows anything about albedo knows that this reflecting pool water will now be about 15-20° hotter than it used to be…becoming an algae cesspool.
Fitting for the times we’re in.
