Memphis is one of the most gerrymandered cities in the country. SCOTUS has changed TN-05 3 times in the last 5 years. But you know what? Maps don’t vote! And the people of TN aren't deterred; they are ready to elect @chazmolder to Congress. More here: https://t.co/QreNh8EoJy https://t.co/1WEysCzlur

Had such a fabulous time with @chazmolder in Memphis, meeting and talking to voters. Republicans tried to silence the voices of Black voters in Memphis with a racist gerrymander, but we have the power to send them a message that maps don’t vote! https://t.co/7oJZaPfOpF

Democrats are fighting for a more affordable life for the American people – and people are responding. When Democrats take back the House majority, we are laser-focused on lowering the cost of gas, health care, groceries, and child care for our hard-working families. https://t.co/laHKYqlpZ3

The initiative will train and certify approximately 45 personnel through the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board’s 40 hour CIT curriculum. ###

We pay for Trump's illegal tariffs with every trip to the grocery store. Now that his runaway Supreme Court struck them down — $166 BILLION in refunds are going to the same big companies that pushed the high costs onto us! Trump's buddies got rich; we literally paid the price.

PA-07, you have a chance to send a firefighter to D.C.! @VoteBobBrooks is the real deal — he's a working guy who understands the challenges everyday people are facing. I had such a great time catching up with him on the ground and feeling the energy for myself! https://t.co/9zCTsIsO7a

This week I had the honor to visit @NezForAZ in Tuba City in the western part of the Navajo Nation. I am so grateful for the incredible contributions of our Native American communities on this Indigenous Peoples Day. https://t.co/ePFhwRdct8

Hispanic Heritage Month is a chance to celebrate the contributions of the Hispanic Community right here in IL-14. Cesar shared his family's history, the many generations of Guerreros in Joliet, and his pride in representing the area where he was raised. https://t.co/gbZSuJIcpR

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! I was so happy to be a part of bringing our friends at the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation back to their tribal land in Shabbona, IL. Today we honor the resilience of our Native American neighbors. https://t.co/40ABciDLJH

When I visited @johnnygarciatx, we had the pleasure of meeting Glenn and Sherri. Glenn and Sherri know Republicans' tax cuts for billionaires aren't helping people like them — and they're ready for a change in leadership. Johnny will fight to make their lives better. https://t.co/NykxtC51wZ

Amy celebrates her Hispanic heritage by serving her community like her family who came before her. This Hispanic Heritage month, reach out to your neighbors and take a moment to learn and share in their cultural heritage and history. https://t.co/0y6JRpJkht

San Antonio, thank you for welcoming me! I had the best time visiting @johnnygarciatx and talking to folks about why this election is so critical. Y'all, something special is happening in Texas! https://t.co/cJa62TvkwC

Something special is happening in Florida! @AngieNixon is running a WINNABLE race for Senate against an unelected, scamming MAGA extremist. Her opponent will work for Trump — Angie will work for FLORIDA! Want to help send Angie to the Senate? Chip in: https://t.co/GpmQ1ldCrW https://t.co/jZA1nxl8qb

Happy Homecoming, NIU! I’m reminded of our time together in April, standing in solidarity with your international students.

$75 billion more for ICE. $186 BILLION cut from SNAP. That's the trade Republicans made in the Big Ugly Bill: detention centers OVER dinner tables. When we win back the majority, we can reverse every one of those SNAP cuts for our hard-working Illinois families.

Voters in CO-05 are tired of choosing between getting ahead and staying afloat. @killinforco is fighting for an affordable America and will flip her seat this November. Learn more: https://t.co/yrexKF67mu https://t.co/wVDeDwSTzD

Family Service Agency in DeKalb does incredibly impactful work to uplift and help our neighbors, and I’m so proud to secure federal funds to support their mission: https://t.co/NeepopnXXu

After voting to take $1 TRILLION out of Medicaid and $500 BILLION out of Medicare, Republicans are starting to realize that their blind loyalty to Trump is going to cost them in November. https://t.co/UrLW9oCTjF

Early voting is open in Illinois! Vote, like your health care depends on it. Vote, like your Social Security depends on it. Vote, like your grocery bill depends on it. Make your plan today!

After more than 200 years, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation is returning to their homeland! I'm proud to have worked with Chairman Rupnick to secure $1M to build a Tribal Government headquarters in Illinois. Honored to have played a small role in this long-overdue homecoming. https://t.co/0DFJt7CLom

My new bill would make sure that VA employees and caregivers have evidenced-based training to help veterans in crisis: https://t.co/oLwDqZAhAU
