@RepLaHood @Commentary @AbeGreenwald This comment is taken out of context. He was referring to a women carrying a child with a nonsurvivable birth defect that went into labor. The comment was poorly worded and confusing but only applies to a very small percentage of cases with no other medical option.

@RepLaHood You just voted to waste 5.7B on a wall that doesn’t equal border security while you have teachers in your district that have to work two jobs, schools that don’t have clean drinking water, and families that can’t afford decent healthcare. Yet we can afford this wall...

This should be one of the biggest stories in America. It is a crisis for democracy https://t.co/ZuskNH8vZc

Anyone in the IL-18 congressional district needing a ride to the polls today should contact our campaign office (309-265-2540) and we will put you in touch with a driver.

Watch this video! Recent @HuffPo article: @SenatorCollins “has been noticeably warm toward Kavanaugh since Trump nominated him” !!! @senatorcollins listen to your constituents and #StopKavanaugh! Pledge $20.20 at https://t.co/4HPtATVrXc

The choice to not meet with and listen to your constituents should NOT impede someone else from doing it. What do you say @RepLaHood? Isn’t it about time you earned your paycheck?

Yesterday I was denied use of a venue for hosting a town hall event because “the other side” is not holding town hall events, thus such events can’t be fair & balanced. If we continue down the path of normalizing neglect among some representatives a bit of our democracy dies.

“They use euphemisms to speak of ‘the situation at the border’—‘the crisis at the border.’ The real crisis at the border is the crisis that exists between our political selves & our ethical selves.”
Junius Rodriguez, Democrat for U.S. Representative (IL-18)

@GovMikeHuckabee Hopefully he does grow up to be one because that would mean he values other human as equal no matter their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or economic status. It would mean our country has continued moving forward rather than go backwards like the GOP wants.

The Supreme Court's ruling in Janus v. AFSCME continues a generation-long assault on the middle class through efforts to diminish workers' rights to organize & bargain collectively. Who advocates for the voiceless? Surely not the wealthy & powerful who control corporate boards.

June 30 is an important FEC filing deadline. To date, we have received no PAC contributions, but we have over 2,000 individual donors (most making small contributions). Team LaHood can’t claim either point. Join us; visit https://t.co/xP7kxvjXjS & use ActBlue to contribute today!

Six weeks from now we will host our second "Week of Town Halls" with 11 events scheduled. Just for the heck of it, we will host ALL of our town hall events in communities that are in IL-18. I know, it's a novel concept; some call it democracy.

He is divisive, destructive, and happily helped create the humanitarian crisis of separated families at our nation's border. It is *beyond* time for the Trump admin to #FireMiller.

His office wouldn’t comment on the possibility of holding a town hall before the midterm elections. You can add coward to that list. @RepLaHood did you forget that you work for your constituents not the GOP?

[Brooke @babt017]

Just spoke with someone at @RepLaHood office who said “he’s very happy about the executive order that will reunite families”. When I stated that it does NOT reunite those already separated there was no response other than to support Trump. Despicable and ignorant. #BlueWave2018

This could be the uniform for the Republican Party now. Except if you’re a rich white male then they care. https://t.co/MYpKls6Ndz

Sadly, quite a number of congressmen must be checking today to see if they are missing a jacket.
