ICYMI: I was proud to secure $950,000 in federal funding for Elmhurst University’s Health Sciences Department. The funding will be used to install state of the art technology and research equipment, which will provide hands-on opportunities for future healthcare leaders.

The Big Ugly Bill that the GOP passed last year WAS DESIGNED to slash healthcare benefits after the midterm elections because they wanted tax cuts and hoped to pay for it with something no one would like. And here we are. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/b...

Support Blake on his merits. But also PLEASE don't make me serve with his opponent / Trump fluffer who is the voice and writer behind this bit of AI slop. youtu.be/Uh8fH4XqQEU?...

Hope you'll all help Blake finish strong: blakegendebienforcongress.com

This is the second poll I've seen with Gendebien up by 4 in a Trump +20 (!!) district. I had the privilege to meet Blake last month - he's the real deal. And his opponent is bonkers. But this is still margin of error. Throw some support his way!

This analysis appears to consider the period prior to the Iran invasion which was also self inflicted and made this worse (and global). So as bad as this is, Trumps economic policy is worse than suggested by this report.

US inflation is "entirely" due to Trump's tariffs. I am hard pressed to think of a worse decision by any President. The consequences were predicted, he did them anyway and here we are. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/08/i...

The Trump administration's theft of Venezuelan assets that had to be funneled thru Qatar because - per Sec. Rubio - otherwise creditors could have stepped in - is now attracting attention from people who built their fortunes on money-laundering. Are you surprised? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It has been brought to my attention that Mike Johnson may already have been auditioning for his future job - right under our noses!

@seancasten.bsky.social Oct 8, 2026, 6:20 PM

God wants Mike Johnson to dedicate his life to lawn care. Who are you to thwart God’s will, America? #Vote

Anyone who refers to Donald Trump as “President” and not by the highly accepted newer and more accurate term “Convicted Felon and Adjudicated Rapist” is THE ENEMY.

If you heard that a President’s son’s ex-GF was shaking down citizens in exchange for access and direct help for their business / tax liability what country would you think I’m talking about? It should shame us all, regardless of party that this is an American story. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Being a rich guy with a fragile ego qualifies you to be in Trump’s inner circle. But it doesn’t qualify you to run the Treasury Department, no matter how much Bessent’s PR people want you to believe otherwise. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

All of us in elected office have more scheduling requests than we have slots in our schedule. All of us have had to cancel things. And "I have to meet with POTUS" is always a legit excuse to cancel. Not judging Abbott's choice - but it is, undeniably a choice.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.comOct 7, 2026, 1:30 PM

"Gov. Greg Abbott is blaming a scheduling conflict and says he's not gonna be attending the rally in San Antonio today where the president is going to be. He's not taking time for the president."

Happy World Teachers’ Day! Teachers prepare the next generation of leaders and help students reach their highest potential. Earlier this year, I honored Sondra LaPointe, a 7th-grade teacher at Westview Hills Middle School in Willowbrook, for my Constituent Spotlight Award.

The stupidity of all this is so exhausting. Put a dumb name on something, get a bunch of rich sycophants to show up and tell you you're smart so the media covers it while doing nothing of substance. At least Super Adventure Club was funny. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
