While we don't need the Bible to tell us just how immoral and barbaric ripping children from their parents is, here's a part @jeffsessions seems to have forgotten about. teapaw.org/johngreen/status/10074…

🚨URGENT! ACT NOW! 🚨 We need your help before 3:30 PM TODAY to #StopJunkInsurance in Illinois. Help us #ProtectOurCare by submitting a witness slip as PROPONENT of HB2624 SA3- the Short Term Limited Duration Health Insurance Coverage Act.

Today we honor with gratitude those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Our freedom to protest injustice, to choose those who represent us, to use our voices to fight for a better country and a better world. We will never take these for granted. #MemorialDay
Illinois abolished the death penalty because it is discriminatory, ineffective, and barbaric. Rauner is doing what desperate politicians do - trying to cling to power by using fear and diversion. #twill teapaw.org/capitolfax/status/1000…
Many thanks to @JBPritzker for a spirited discussion about how we can reform Illinois politics and make our democracy work for everyone. We look forward to continuing the conversation! teapaw.org/JBPritzker/status/9990…
Thank you to @Better_Action Evanston for hosting a meet and greet this evening. I’m proud to have the support of so many progressive Democrats across Illinois. Together, we are ready to take back Springfield in November and move Illinois forward.

If you live in Illinois - check out SB 2388 SFA 1 which will regulate short term plans and protect consumers from the Trump admin's new proposed regulations. Thanks @HeatherSteans and @RepLauraFine for sponsoring this bill! ilga.gov/legislation/fulltex… teapaw.org/ASlavitt/status/993547…

"A progressive income tax could help bring in $2 billion in much needed extra revenue to the state, and would result in only 2 percent of taxpayers paying higher taxes than they currently do." #twill
New Report Recommends Graduated Income Tax for Illinois chicagotonight.wttw.com/2018…
FACT: 33 states have a progressive income tax including our neighbors Wisconsin (top rate 7.65%) & Iowa (top rate 8.98%).
Guess whose economies are doing better. #twill teapaw.org/GovRauner/status/99168…
The progressive tax is just another money grab that will make things worse in Illinois, not better. Don’t give Madigan power over your pocketbook. #NoNewTaxes chicagobusiness.com/article/…
