Yesterday, I joined my colleagues in standing in solidarity with @ChiPubSchools students, teachers, and parents.
Instead of supporting our students, Republicans on the Education and Workforce Committee dragged CPS Superintendent Dr. Macquline King to Washington for a pointless hearing.
Our schools should be safe havens for all kids, no matter their identity. We should trust our educators to support students and back schools teaching evidence-based curriculum.
Repealing the endangerment finding ends decades of air pollution regulations. The Environmental Destruction Agency is operating just as Trump has intended — with climate denial and corporate profits at the helm. We need an EPA that prioritizes science, not corporate polluters.
U really shouldn't use it (yes even if ur the President)

What just happened in the Oval Office was an embarrassment. We're a fundamentally different country than a few weeks ago and unrecognizable to our allies. For over a century, the United States has stood for Democracy. Today, Donald Trump chose the side of dictators. The world order that was established after the Second World War is dead.
Doechii's acceptance speech for Best Rap Album at the #GRAMMYs:
“I know that there is some black girl out there, so many black women out there that are watching me right now and I wanna tell you, you can do it. Anything is possible. Don't allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you that tell you that you can't be here, that you're too dark or that you're not smart enough or that you're too dramatic or you're too loud. You are exactly who you need to be, to be right where you are and i'm a testimony.

Tomorrow, dedicated voters and election workers in Virginia will brave the snow and ice to once again turn the gears of democracy! Voting questions? The @866OURVOTE nonpartisan hotline will be staffed and taking calls! 🗳️📲
For 50 years, far South Side residents have waited for equity in transit. This $1.9B investment will improve access to schools, jobs, and services with a focus on bus, bike, and pedestrian connections. I'm proud to have helped secure federal funding to finish this project.
Increasing the pay of members of Congress would mean we get more working-class members of Congress and that running for Congress would no longer be a luxury for the rich. (The same goes double for staff).
Women know that men don’t scheme to “dress like girls” to assault them.
They do it every day in broad daylight. And the ones in power protect each other to keep it quiet.
Just ask the House Ethics Committee. Or the President-elect of the United States.
Leave women alone.
the best feeling in the world is returning to chicago after a long time away, seeing the massive bulk of the sears tower on the horizon elegantly soaring half a kilometer into the sky, and knowing you’re finally home in the greatest city on planet earth
