From a constituent in La Grange, ILFirst, I’m tired of Trump threatening our elections. Congress needs to act urgently to protect them from potential interference.

From a verified voter in Algonquin, ILHakeem Jeffries meets Jared Kushner
Why is Hakeem Jeffries meeting with Jared Kushner? Jared Kushner is not a government official! He is not a member of Congress! He has been playing statesman without any true authority. Jared Kushner is a member of the Trump family which has been destroying our country. He has been using his positi
