Today’s @nytimes.com The Daily features our fight against AIPAC’s dark money. We proved Democrats can take on right-wing cash — and win. Take a listen:
Israel, AIPAC and Difficult Questions for Democrats
Once the guardian of the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus, the lobbying group AIPAC is now a polarizing force in the Democratic Party.

Climate change is real, and it’s here. We need to take actions – big and small – to address it immediately. I hope you’ll stand with me in this fight.
We cannot let wildfire smoke like we’re seeing in the Chicago area and across the country become normal. It is a public health disaster and a flashing red light that we need real climate action immediately.
Evanston's Independence Day Parade reminds us the freedoms we celebrate matter most when they are tested.
When the federal government fails us—or worse–turns against us, we have to come together to support each other and get through it as we fight back. Now is one of those moments. gofund.me/53c8523d9
Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend! Independence Day celebrations took us through Lincolnwood, Glenview, Skokie, Evanston, and Crystal Lake, and every stop was a beautiful reminder of why this work matters.
There is nothing radical about telling the truth about our history—and trying to make things right. That's the work Evanston began, and we won't let that progress be dismantled.
Architects of Evanston reparations program stand firm against DOJ attacks
Evanston has distributed more than $7 million to over 200 Black residents who are direct descendants of people harmed by housing discrimination.

Corporations are trying to silence the working class, but we will never back down. I'm proud to stand with @uaw.org Local 5010 in Niles in their fight for respect on the job. Solidarity!
It’s a relief that SCOTUS upheld the Constitution and protected the right to birthright citizenship today. But the fact that this was a split decision and three justices voted to overturn the plain and unmistakable language on birthright citizenship is profoundly disturbing.

We need a fundamentally new approach on Israel, one that recognizes the dignity of both Palestinian and Jewish people. We need a reckoning.
This ruling will have a disastrous human and economic impact. The 1.3 million TPS holders contribute billions of dollars to our economy and enrich communities across the country.

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court ripped up Roe v. Wade. Since the Dobbs decision, the MAGA movement has relentlessly attacked abortion rights at both the federal and state level.
It was great to celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center with some new friends!
In Evanston, we have put in years of thoughtful work to address a legacy of discrimination. We going to fight for our city in court and stop Trump from rolling back the clock.
Matthew Eadie@mattheweadie.bsky.social · last mo.Evanston Mayor @danielbiss.bsky.social tells Al Sharpton on @ms.now he views the DOJ's effort to shut down Evanston's reparations program as an effort to "roll back the clock [on racism]." "I don't think they're interested in the Constitution ... We are going to defend this in court."
You made have seen the news that the Trump administration is suing the City of Evanston over our first-in-the-nation reparations program. Read my latest Substack for more ➡️ open.substack.com/pub/danielbi...
Evanston came together in a beautiful way this Juneteenth. Today, we walked 2.5 miles to symbolize the two and a half years between the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the moment of freedom, which was finally enforced in Texas on June 19, 1865.
92,000+ Illinoisans have lost their Affordable Care Act health insurance. This is what happens when Republicans sacrifice access to affordable healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the top one percent. It’s time for Medicare for All.
Republicans just passed $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol because they're terrified of what happens when Democrats take back Congress. The stakes could not be higher. We need to win.
The Republican-led House Education Committee holding a partisan hearing on Chicago Public Schools is laughable. At this very moment, Republicans are attempting to slash millions of dollars in funds for Head Start and K–12 education programs while simultaneously gutting the Department of Education.
It was delightful to join friends at the Buffalo Grove Pride Parade over the weekend! Happy Pride!
I had a great time at the Niles Township Fun Run this morning! It was beautiful to see so many people participate to support of the Niles Township Food Pantry Foundation.
Senate Republicans have voted to hand another $70 BILLION to ICE/CBP to continue to terrorize our communities. Enough. Every dollar for these thugs is at the expense of our healthcare, our veterans, our schools, basic needs of our communities. It is shameful.

Congress is finally doing its job. Now, it’s time for the Senate to end this catastrophic war.
In a first, House votes to block Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran
The Senate advanced a similar war powers resolution last month on a procedural vote, reflecting growing impatience with a conflict Congress hasn’t authorized.

The conduct of US Attorney Andrew Boutros in the Broadview Six case has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the office he leads. Prosecutorial credibility is based on public trust — and Boutros has shattered that trust. He should resign.
Jon Seidel@jonseidel.bsky.social · 2mo agoJUST IN: Chicago U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros says he is implementing "sweeping reforms to internal grand jury practices" in the wake of the "Broadview Six" revelations:
