I was pleased to give the virtual keynote address at the annual meeting of the League of Women Voters of Cook County this morning. It is always a pleasure to connect with the League, an organization with a century-long history of supporting women in public office.

It's #DemoDay here at the Housing Authority of Cook County!
Work has officially begun on HACC's CMO Building. Once HACC's central office, time and the elements have now left their mark - but we're ready to bring this building back to it's original glory.
Stay tuned for updates!

Americans deserve to know: the government funding package passed by the House yesterday is the *exact same* plan passed by the @SenateGOP just weeks ago. And yet, now, they refuse to vote on it. #MSNBCTownHall

Many of the same people calling for #NancyPelosi to step aside because she's "too old" are also pushing #BernieSanders for president.
Pelosi is only six months older than Sanders and has achieved infinitely more with *her* 30yrs in Congress.
Just saying.

Counting every vote in a process that can be seen to be fair should be a core value in a democracy!

Ever since I heard someone talk about how *radically* different the country's approach is to men revealing their boyhood sexual assault by a priest VS a woman's reveal as a sexual assault victim at the hands of ANYONE at ANY AGE in her life, I can't stopped thinking about it

We will always remember everyone we lost on 9/11, thank the first responders who keep us safe, and honor all who defend our country and the ideals that bind us together. There's nothing our resilience and resolve can’t overcome, and no act of terror can ever change who we are.
