It was an honor to join Illinois Deputy Governor @SolAmoresFlores as recipients of @EqualityILL’s Civic Leadership Award. Thank you both for your work to advance equal rights in Illinois. As State’s Attorney, I will always fight for the LGBTQ community, equality, & justice.

There needs to be an immediate investigation.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

We need answers. Lots of them.

Good.

Make no mistake: separating children from their parents like this will lead to lasting trauma.

It is child abuse.

WATCH: “This degradation principle is totally unacceptable. We shouldn’t rationalize further destruction of our environment because there has already been destruction of it.”

Two background check bills passed the House months ago. But Mitch McConnell is refusing to let the Senate vote on them.

@SenateMajLdr: Call us back into session. We need #GunReformNow.

I just got a raise, so I upgraded my books budget, my clothes budget, and my TYT membership. Thank you @cenkuygur @AnaKasparian @johniadarola @BrookeOnAir @JayarJackson and everybody else for all you do!

@johniadarola Your coverage and analysis is the best in the business.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

It takes women 15 months to earn what men brought home last year.
It takes Native women 20 months.
It takes black women 21 months.
It takes Latina women 23 months.

When we disinvest from healthcare, education, housing and labor protections, women suffer. #EqualPayDay

@johniadarola That the US isn’t a democracy, but a republic. That terminology is inaccurate and dissociated from reality, and has been for at least 100 years.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The @DCCC’s new rule to blacklist+boycott anyone who does business w/ primary challengers is extremely divisive & harmful to the party.

My recommendation, if you’re a small-dollar donor: pause your donations to DCCC & give directly to swing candidates instead.

Some great ones:

I just want to be one of the voices telling @SAKimFoxx she’s a wonderful public servant and supported by Chicago.

Does it count as homophobia if it's making a point about the relationship between two particular people? https://t.co/ckozGc5Uf6

Shouldn't Democrats get someone more credible than James Clapper to make these denials? Like any randomly chosen person.

[Emily Van Herik @emarie222]

I finally finished my post about how Democrats are bad at politics!
