I just got back from Ukraine 🇺🇦

I just got back from Ukraine. I’m one of a small handful of Members of Congress to travel there in the past year — and I need to tell you what I saw, and why it matters so much to this fight. For over four years, Ukraine has been fighting for its survival against Vladimir Putin's unprovoked invasion. I've stood with them since day one. I've led bipartisan legislation to arm Ukraine's military. I've fought to hold Russia accountable for war crimes. I've warned, again and again, that appeasing Putin doesn't bring peace — it invites the next invasion. Here's what I saw on this trip: A country still fighting, still resilient, still holding the line — and increasingly uncertain about whether America is still standing 100% behind them. That uncertainty didn't come from nowhere. Donald Trump has spent his presidency squeezing Ukraine while handing Vladimir Putin exactly what he wants.   I didn't take this trip for a photo opportunity. I took it because Ukraine needs to know that not every American leader has abandoned them — and because I wanted to see, firsthand, what's actually at stake in Ukraine. This is exactly why Equal Opportunity Now exists. We need Democrats in office who understand that standing up to authoritarian aggression isn't optional — it's central to who we are as a country. MAGA Republicans cannot be trusted with this. Time and again, they have shown they'll trade away our allies' security for a photo op with a dictator.

I haven’t missed Mitch McConnell

Sandeep, Mitch McConnell has been my senator since I was 2 weeks old. I’m 41 now. I’ve spent my whole life under his leadership, and I can say first hand that Mitch McConnell has never done anything for me, or the folks I grew up with in Louisville’s West End. The candid truth is, the past two months without Mitch McConnell’s leadership is not an absence I have felt. Because when you grow up in a family like mine, it doesn’t matter how much power and influence your Senator has in Washington if you’re still struggling back at home. My family was the epitome of the working‑class struggle countless Americans are facing. I spent my youth in the West End of Louisville, where I’ve been homeless. I watched my parents drop out of high school to raise my siblings and me. I watched my mother skip meals so that I wouldn’t have to. I rationed my insulin as a Type 1 diabetic. So when I say we need Medicare‑for‑All, universal child care, housing you can actually afford, and a floor of $40,000 a year for anyone working full time, that isn’t just a political ideology – it’s something I’ve lived. For decades, working families across this Commonwealth have been asked to sacrifice while Washington insiders like Mitch McConnell have worked for the wealthy and well‑connected. I’m running for Senate because Kentucky deserves better than Andy Barr, AKA Mitch 2.0, and I’m ready to fight for it. There is no Senate majority without seats like this one.

leaked tape

Rick Jackson wants armed troops at polling places to intimidate Democratic voters

I’m aghast at what was just exposed.   Leaked audio just caught Georgia Republicans red-handed plotting an outrageous scheme to intimidate voters and potentially overturn the upcoming gubernatorial election in Georgia. GOP nominee and billionaire Rick Jackson was secretly recorded reassuring supporters that he will see to it that the National Guard will be weaponized to monitor polling places. The Republicans are literally scheming to use armed military force to stop us at the ballot box. I will NOT allow them to cheat and bully their way back into power! I’m launching an emergency defense strategy right now to thwart this secretive plan to sabotage our democracy. I’m calling on 2,220 grassroots Democrats to stand with me before midnight to power our response, turn out every single voter, and stop the GOP’s military takeover delusions from becoming reality. Can I count on you split $10 between my campaign and Equal Opportunity Now immediately to help me stop these extremists from EVER holding power over us again? >> SPLIT A DONATION » Winning this governor's race is the ONLY thing standing between Georgia families and a radical GOP plot to militarize our elections, roll back our fundamental rights, and destroy our democracy.   Look at where we stand right now: LEAKED audio reveals Jackson expects armed troops to monitor polling sites on Election Day. The race is locked in a dead heat. And Jackson’s right-wing backers just flooded the state with an astounding $87 MILLION ad buy to tear me down. Slick Rick Jackson thinks he can intimidate Georgia voters, spread Donald Trump's dangerous election lies, and buy this office. If we lose because we fell short of our emergency response budget, we will regret it for the rest of our lives. Please, Sandeep — I need you to step up right now and split $10 between my campaign and Equal Opportunity Now to make the GOP's corrupt plot completely BACKFIRE.   Will I see your name on my official list of defenders when I check it tomorrow morning? >> If you have saved your information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Keisha Lance Bottoms and Equal Opportunity Now will process instantly.  DONATE $10 DONATE $25 DONATE $50 DONATE $100 DONATE $250 Another amount Thank you for taking quick action, Keisha Lance Bottoms Visit Our Website To Learn More!   Equal Opportunity Now is d/b/a Reviving American Jobs Again  PAC (RAJA PAC) Equal Opportunity Now P.O.

"Had an abortion, search for female."

I need to tell you about a search term that should make your blood run cold.   "Had an abortion, search for female."   That's what a Texas sheriff's office typed into a nationwide surveillance tool to track down a woman who exercised her constitutional right to reproductive care. The search pulled data from more than 6,800 networks and 83,000 cameras — including cameras right here in Illinois, in a state where abortion is legal.   Here's how it works:   A company called Flock Group sells automatic license plate readers to police departments across the country, marketed as a public safety tool. In reality, it's become a surveillance dragnet — one that lets any local law enforcement agency, anywhere, search a nationwide network of cameras for any reason they type into a box.   And it's not just reproductive care. In Richmond, Virginia — a city with an explicit policy against helping federal immigration enforcement — an ATF analyst used Flock's network to run immigration queries anyway. Richmond had to block federal access entirely just to protect its own residents from a company they never agreed to let ICE use.   Months ago, I launched a formal investigation into Flock Group alongside Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia. We are demanding a full accounting of every search involving "abortion," "ICE," or "CBP." We are demanding Flock's contracts and communications with ICE. We are demanding to know what, if anything, they've done to stop this abuse.   I've spent my career fighting for privacy, civil liberties, and reproductive freedom, and I am not going to let a private company build a nationwide tracking network and call it a public service.   Will you chip in $25 or $50 to Equal Opportunity Now today to help us hold Flock accountable and elect leaders who will fight for your privacy?
