Kat Abughazaleh indicted by rump's DOJ

Kat Abughazaleh
Oct 29, 2025

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

We now have legal fees on top of our campaign expenses.

I do wish someone like her was in my district because she seems to know what we're up against better than most in the Senate or House based on her record of covering the far right in the US.

I would donate but last time I donated was to Jessica Cisneros and rarely do my donations help the candidates I prefer win.

Jan Schakowsky was in the seat for like 30 years and she’s retiring. So it’s a wide open primary.
