Just a quick note here in advance of Trump and Musk crashing the economy in 2025: Trump voters are going to blame Democrats for that too.
Read up on fascism and cults and stop assuming we have a rational electorate that’s actually looking at economic indicators. It simply isn’t.

I’m spending Election Day visiting all seven counties in #IL13! Thank you to all of the Macoupin County supporters who joined us at Blackbird Cafe in Staunton to kick things off this morning. I can tell that folks are fired up and ready to make history today!

Ask yourself: what would happen if Kamala Harris did this?
Yes. You saw right. This is Trump on stage at a rally, pretending to perform a sex-act on a microphone.
This is not normal. Trump is disgusting, unhinged and unfit to represent the United States. Vote him out.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Republicans in Congress taking credit for investments they voted against. Must be a day ending in Y.

Excited to announce a $10 million federal investment in @PuntaGordaAir! This funding will support the second phase of terminal expansion, meeting the demands of our rapidly growing community.
I’ve been a strong advocate for this project and previously submitted a federal appropriations request for these essential funds. My office remains dedicated to ensuring Punta Gorda Airport has the resources it needs to thrive!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The bill referenced by Steube is the INVEST in America Act, passed in November 2021. Florida received $112m in funding from the FAA to update ten airports during Biden's Presidency as a result of this bill. Representative Steube voted against this bill's passage.

The richest man in the world:
is one of the biggest political donors in the world.
and one of the biggest government contractors in the world.
while owning one of the biggest social media platforms in the word.
While warning about a cabal of elites ruining the world.

It would be nice to return to a politics where Americans can agree on some fundamental things, like there is no place for anyone who expresses admiration for Hitler.

Another Illinois win! On the first day of @GovPritzker’s trade mission to Japan, he announced that Sysmex America (subsidiary of Japanese company @SysmexJP) will create 110 new jobs and retain 550 in Lake County!
Led by Dan Zortman, this best-in-class manufacturer will expand its northeastern Illinois facilities, which will enable the company to grow its high precision and automation systems, enhancing lab efficiency and accuracy. Their highly skilled employees create innovative medical diagnostic technologies and products which aid in diagnosing blood clotting disorders and other medical conditions.
Congratulations to @lcppresident and @LakeCtyPartners along with @IllinoisDCEO on this great news!

Illinois continues to lead the charge nationwide.
I'm proud to unveil the first set of EV charging stations at three of our incredible state parks in Frank Holten, Eldon Hazlet, and Washington County State Rec Area.
Time to enjoy nature while preserving it for years to come.

Illinoisans have too often had to cross county or state lines to pick up groceries because they live in a food desert.
Relief is coming.
Through the Illinois Grocery Initiative, stores like Harvest Supermarket in Peoria will receive funding to expand access and affordability.

If you want to see all the factories close, watch your neighbors lose their jobs, and John Deere go out of business after 187 years, by all means vote for Donald Trump and his tariffs.

It's been nearly one year since Illinois eliminated cash bail and early data shows:
- crime has decreased
- jail populations have mostly decreased
Judges are also explaining their detention decisions rather than just issuing a bond #twill

Trump. Nine years. “Concepts of a plan” for healthcare. I don’t want to hear another word about Harris not having policies.

Just fyi: when there is asymmetrical lying, there will be asymmetrical fact checking.
