    Congratulations to “Chicago’s very own” Tom Skilling, for 40 years of forecasting. The Windy City wouldn’t be the same without him.

    Happy to spend this morning volunteering with my staff and others at – an org that provides children living in homeless or low-income situations with essential items they need to thrive at home, at school, and at play.

    It’s been a month and a half since a judge ordered the Trump Admin to reunite the families it separated. How are there still over 500 kids yet to see their parents? The zero-tolerance policy, and this incompetent attempt to reunite children, is a stain on our great nation.

    In a new court filing, the Trump administration says of 2,551 migrant kids 559 are still separated from their parents. -

    Our nation protects the freedom of speech as a constitutional right. But we must also unequivocally condemn hate, racism, bigotry, and intolerance wherever it exists. This weekend’s rally is completely antithetical to our values. Making hate mainstream doesn't make America great.

    When the President – who criticizes Chicago via tweet – had the chance to bring those in the city fighting an epidemic of gun violence to the table to talk solutions, he chose not to.

    I can only imagine what is in the documents they are refusing to disclose. The White House and Senate Republicans must let the American people see Judge Kavanaugh’s full record so that they can assess his views.

    I have no confidence the partisan GOP document production being led by Judge Kavanaugh’s former deputy will provide full accounting of Kavanaugh’s White House record. But even the cherry-picked docs we've seen include evidence that contradicts his sworn testimony from 12 yrs ago.

    Democrats are likely to question Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's involvement in a legal case for torture and whether he misled Congress

    Today a federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to bring back a deported mother and daughter who reported fleeing horrific sexual abuse and death threats, yet were hastily removed while their cases were pending.

    AG Sessions and DHS Sec. Nielsen are doing all they can to make it harder for immigrant victims of domestic violence and gang violence to gain safety. We have to hold this anti-immigrant White House accountable every step of the way.

    Exposure to manganese dust can cause serious neurological effects, learning difficulties, and memory loss. I continue to urge the EPA to use its authority to require more facilities to install air monitors to track manganese and other toxic metals.

    The American people have the right to know the full record of the man President Trump has nominated to fill the most important Supreme Court vacancy in a generation.

    And who is Bill Burck, the lawyer Republicans have tasked with screening Judge Kavanaugh’s documents for release? He’s Judge Kavanaugh’s former White House deputy and he represents George W. Bush, Don McGahn, and Steve Bannon. Not objective.

    The Bill Burck document production is a partisan effort to flood the Judiciary Committee with largely irrelevant documents, like news clippings and mass emails, while withholding controversial documents from Kavanaugh’s record. It’s not credible.

    Because the National Archives won’t be able to complete its production of Judge Kavanaugh’s White House documents by October, Senate Republicans are getting ready to argue that the partisan Bill Burck document production is good enough to use for a September hearing. It’s not.

    Take note: Unless it was produced by the National Archives, every document you see from Judge Kavanaugh’s White House tenure was selectively chosen for release by his former deputy, Bill Burck. This is not an objective process.

    “The voice of Congress in the face of ethnic cleansing has been muffled.” Senator McConnell must stop blocking bipartisan efforts to hold those accountable for the horrible violence against the Rohingya.

    Republicans think they will be able to get away with hiding Judge Kavanaugh’s White House record from the American people. The stakes are too high to let that happen.
