Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski recently toured the ICE detention facility in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, where some Illinois residents are being held. What she reported raises serious questions about detention conditions, including allegations of overcrowding, limited access to water and medical care, inadequate bedding, and the detention of individuals with no criminal record who were following immigration procedures.

Transparency and accountability in government facilities matter. Thank you for doing the work, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski ๐Ÿ’™

Every few weeks, another pardoned January 6 rioter shows up in the news for something awful.

These people are not patriots.

The real scandal isn't the prosecutions.

It's that a violent mob was rebranded as heroes, then rewarded with pardons.

Turns out Trump's "tough on crime" stance has a giant asterisk when the criminals are on your side. ๐Ÿค”

Vote BLUE in November to reign in Trump's power. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

David Daniel has reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors after a judge ruled that President Donald Trump's pardons in the Capitol attack didnโ€™t apply to child exploitation.

Marsie for Illinois could use your support while she faces a seemingly unfair disadvantage compared to the incumbent's campaign funds. Residents deserve the best representation, not the person with the most campaign money.

End the war.

End the war.

The House for the first time has approved a war powers resolution that would halt the U.S. military action against Iran.

A person fighting cancer shouldn't have to fight a government form. Someone living with HIV shouldn't have to prove they're sick enough to deserve healthcare. Working families shouldn't be one missed document away from losing coverage.

Meanwhile, billionaires and corporations get loopholes, subsidies, and tax breaks.

A society reveals its values by how it treats its most vulnerable people. More and more, we're being told that if you're sick, struggling, disabled, elderly, or poor, you're on your own.

According to NPR, people with conditions such as cancer or HIV may no longer qualify for automatic exemptions and could be required to prove their illness prevents them from working in order to keep Medicaid coverage. Advocates and health policy experts warn that the new rules could disrupt treatment and cause eligible people to lose insurance because of administrative requirements.

We can do better than this. Vote BLUE in November. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

Adults on Medicaid will be required to work 80 hours per month. The Trump administration says people who are sick will have to prove they are too sick to work to be exempt from the new work rules.
