We need Democrats who aren’t afraid of the tough fights and have a record of winning the big ones.

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.

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 funding for Head Start and K–12 education programs while simultaneously gutting the Department of Education. Their agenda would hurt students, threaten teachers' jobs, and funnel public dollars into private education. They are putting profits first and our children last. We must continue fighting for the investments our students, teachers, and schools need and deserve.

and I’m exploring playing shortstop on the @Cubs

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. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

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.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak to everyone celebrating! Wishing you a happy Eid, filled with love, laughter, peace and prosperity.

When workers rights are under attack, we stand up and we fight back. Proud to stand with Starbucks workers tonight in their fight for fairness on the job. #nocontractnocoffee

I'm relieved to hear Ricardo has been released and is in transit back to Chicago where he can be reunited with his family and community where he belongs.

As this Memorial day comes to a close, let us never forget the ultimate price paid by those who give everything for our freedom, liberty and democracy. May we carry forward and honor their memory by building a more peaceful, just and bright future.

The Trump administration wants everyone who’s horrified by their actions to be demoralized into silence. We cannot allow them to win. Let’s get Ricardo home to his family, where he belongs. Read about it here ➡️ open.substack.com/pub/daniel…

A disgraceful end to a shameful case that never should have been brought in the first place. I'm glad Kat and the Broadview Six finally get their lives back, but they are owed an apology and the public deserves full accountability for what happened here.

My heart hurts to see the news of the deadly attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego today. Religious sanctuaries should be spaces free of the fear of violence. In no world should we tolerate these horrifying acts of Islamophobia, bigotry and racism. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/liv…

Ricardo is from IL-09. He's a CPS senior and a soccer player who showed up to a routine immigration check-in and was arrested by ICE. Since then, he's been transported across multiple states, thrown in solitary, and separated from his mother for two months. This is a deliberate campaign of fear and intimidation targeting immigrant communities — we will not stand for it. DHS must free Ricardo and his mother immediately. chicagotribune.com/2026/05/1…

Right now, too many lawmakers in Washington refuse to take action on America’s gun violence crisis. I’m proud to endorse these leaders who are stepping up to take back a gun safety majority in the U.S. House and fight for the change we all deserve. With them in office, progress is possible.

This May Day, we're picketing with workers being exploited across our country. Together, we're fighting this authoritarian nightmare to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires.

Some have asked where I stand on the bill to repeal Illinois’ anti-BDS law. I support it. Here’s why: danielbiss.substack.com/p/a-…
