Last night, I had a short but powerful debate with Democratic Rep. Terra Costa-Howard, the sponsor of #HB2827, on WTTW Chicago Tonight. This bill is a direct attack on homeschooling freedom and parental rights in Illinois! #Homeschooling #parentalrights #Chicago

@AngelH29962447 @TeamIllinois1 @Awake_IL @wttw "We DON'T BELIEVE that it does" She knows exactly what the bill says and is trying to gaslight.

@AngelH29962447 @TeamIllinois1 @Awake_IL @wttw Thank you for representing the loving and sacrificial work that homeschool parents do every day. 🙏

@AngelH29962447 @TeamIllinois1 @Awake_IL @wttw Latasha, that was a confident, well-informed debate on your part. Just because Costa Howard doesn’t acknowledge the statistics of Chicago Public School abuse, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. She is disingenuous and overtly lying. WE SAY NO TO HB2827

@AngelH29962447 @TeamIllinois1 @Awake_IL @wttw 🔥 you won this debate when your opponent was forced to say “she’s correct” and then proceeded to stutter her way to the end.

@AngelH29962447 @TeamIllinois1 @Awake_IL @wttw Thank you Latasha for being our voice. I don't think Terra realizes that that "outlier" is the main reason my family has stayed here despite everything else wrong with this state. If it becomes law, she will then see just how many families will die on this hill and finally leave.

I joined Chicago Tonight for a debate on the cause of Chicago Public Schools' $732M budget deficit and potential solutions. The Chicago Teachers Union refused to participate. We need more of these conversations.

It's Not Just The Chicago Bears that Indiana is trying to Steal from Illinois. Indiana Congressman Explains how his State is trying to take 33 COUNTIES away from the Blue State. Rep. Marlin Stutzman tells me he would VOTE 'YES' to annexing southern Illinois and freeing it from Chicago’s control. “Those folks in southern Illinois get beaten on a daily basis by Chicago politics, and they take them for granted.” People prefer freedom over the tyranny of JB Pritzker. Southern Illinois is tired of being ignored, over-taxed, and dictated to by Chicago Democrats who don’t share their values or care about their communities. we can send this in the same 15 flow with the show clips

Today, I rose in the House to speak on Bill C-9. Bill C-9 is a direct attack on fundamental freedoms in this country. I will stand with the Canadians who wrote to me and with faith communities across this country. I cannot and will not support Bill C-9.

Trump: "We're heading to Chicago, because we want to save Chicago. Do you know they had over 4,000 people killed in Chicago over a short-- 4,000 people. And I have to watch this slob of a governor stand up and say, 'Well, everything is okay.'"

Illinois doesn’t have a penny for the Chicago Bears but they spent hundreds of millions on Obama’s presidential library. Barry Obama isn’t even from Chicago. His library is possibly the ugliest building in the United States of America.🤡

The role of the physician is to advocate for the patient, not to blindly follow a state-mandated protocol. This latest bill in NY is a direct threat to the doctor-patient relationship and parental rights. Children’s Health Defense
