Every night in the ER, I see the fallout from bad policy decisions — people suffering because leaders chose not to act. I’m running for Congress to change that. Join me in building a government that heals: thomasfisherforcongress.com

I’m honored to have the endorsement of @RoKhanna! Rep. Ro has shown what it means to lead with principle and challenge concentrated power when it harms working people. That kind of leadership matters right now. #midterms #election2026 #chicago

Years working in the state’s busiest trauma center has shown me many of these lives will changed for ever. This is the true cost of war. What is the point of this unconstitutional war?

NEWS via @CBSNews: An Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed U.S. service members in the early hours of the war with Iran was more severe than previously known, with dozens suffering injuries that included brain trauma, shrapnel trauma and burns, per sources. More than 30 remained in hospitals yday with battle injuries — one at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, 12 at Walter Reed, and about 25 at Landstuhl in Germany, sources said.  Of those, about 20 arrived on a C-17 military transport aircraft at Landstuhl on Tuesday with injuries the military designated as “urgent” and requiring evacuation. More than 100 medical personnel were sent to Landstuhl to assist. Report here from @ellee_watson @JimLaPorta and me. cbsnews.com/news/strike-in…

Why are we bombing health infrastructure in Iran? Does this help us get healthcare to everyone? Does this help us afford housing? Does this lower our bills? We deserve better
Idrees Ali@idreesali114

GENEVA, March 5 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization chief said on Thursday that it has verified 13 attacks on health infrastructure in Iran amid a U.S.-Israeli campaign, killing four health care workers and injuring 25 others.

WBEZ lays it out. @MCEforCongress is backed by AIPAC-aligned super PACs and MAGA billionaire money. She won’t condition aid. She won’t call genocide genocide. Moral clarity matters. I don’t take Corp PAC or AIPAC money. I answer to the people of IL-07. wbez.org/politics/2026/…

I said what I said. ICE has grown into an agency with too much power and too little accountability. We need to end the fear-driven enforcement model and refocus federal resources on building an immigration system rooted in due process, dignity, and the rule of law.

Thomas Fisher @drthomasfisher says that ICE cannot be reformed and should be abolished

Democratic candidate in the Illinois 7th Congressional District, @drthomasfisher, talks with @wcpt820's Richard Chew about Medicare for All and increasing funding for research universities in order to medical prices down so people can afford to live. "I don't want to denigrate how much work it takes to create pure and reliable medications that extend across the entire country. But if they don't get in your body, it doesn't matter."

The Trump admin brought back measles and now they don’t want to take “credit” for their “accomplishment.” Too humble. No, we should congratulate RFK Jr for unleashing measles, it wouldn’t have happened without him!
CDC@CDCgov

Framing measles as an American policy failure is inaccurate and misleading. Under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s leadership, the CDC has surged resources, including vaccines and therapeutics, nationwide to support state and local response efforts and contain outbreaks. We are setting the global standard for public health. -Dr. Ralph Abraham, CDC’s Principal Deputy Director

From the Editorial Board: In the endorsement business, it is both rare and heartening to be genuinely excited about a candidate for Congress. We feel that way about Thomas Fisher. trib.al/VI4l0jg

Honored to be endorsed by the @chicagotribune. I have spent my career taking care of people at their most vulnerable and I am running for Congress to bring that same commitment to service to Washington. Grateful for the support and ready to keep fighting for the 7th District.

Taking healthcare from people is immoral. We can and must fix this. This is a healthcare election. "Wait times will be longer in overburdened emergency departments. Premiums for commercial insurance will go up ... to compensate for the loss of Medicaid revenue...."

Alex Pretti, 37, was an ICU nurse at the VA. He cared for his neighbors when they were sick and stood up with them against ICE. A healthcare worker who defends his community….. ICE cannot be retrained or reformed. It must be abolished.
