Antisemitism is a problem for America, not a partisan problem. It’s real and it’s wrong - and having experienced it firsthand I’m not going to be lectured on it by anyone, including the Fox and Friends hosts after a bad election night.
My faith isn’t anyone else’s problem. The fact that too many Americans feel like America has lost faith in them is our collective problem and challenge that we should all work on.

I rarely talk about what January 6 cost me and my family. The friendships, the threats, the party I once called home.
But today, I feel something I haven't felt in years.
Vindication.
We refused to bow to Trump. We paid a price. And last night, America roared back.
This one's personal.

There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation:
- For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House.
- At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate.
- At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high.
- A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities.
- Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee.
- @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor.
- @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor.
- @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas.
- @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate.
I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country.
Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.

I joined these lovely ladies on WGN-TV on Daytime Chicago today. Talked about my 2027 Chicago Calendar and more.

Yesterday was a great day for our democracy. If we want to hold on to what we’re feeling today, we need to get to work.

Thinking of the conversations Mike Ditka is having today with Todd O’Connor and Bob Swerski…

The White Sox send our condolences to the family, friends and fans of legendary Mike Ditka. He will be greatly missed.

After the Bears fired him in 1993, Ditka made a cameo appearance on the SNL cold open with the Superfans. What a loss.

Rest in peace, Margaret. Your trailblazing work leading the development of the on-board flight software for the Apollo spacecraft will forever be remembered. 🫡

The seat in Sec. 140 of Rate Field that was once occupied by Pope Leo XIV back in 2005 is held down tonight by his longtime friends from the South Side, who brought him to that World Series game 21 years ago. Naturally, they say the White Sox win it tonight.
