The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park has been named one of the most innovative companies in economic development. We're making Illinois the undisputed leader in quantum — and bringing the discoveries made right here to the world.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Donald Trump promised to lower prices on Day One. Instead, his administration is telling us to raise our own chickens and embarrassing our nation on the world stage. All while hardworking Illinoisans suffer at the checkout or the pump.

People with developmental disabilities can wait years for community placements, state records show. An important story from @olivia0.bsky.social and @jeremygorner.bsky.social www.chicagotribune.com/2025/03/03/s...

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate: - Emergency response in natural disasters - Education and healthcare for disabled children - Clean air and water programs - Gang crime investigations - Monitoring of nursing home abuse - Nuclear reactor regulation - Cancer research

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

Thanks to my administration's economic agenda, Illinois doubled private sector investments from $6.3 billion in 2023 to $12.5 billion in 2024 - quadrupling the number of retained jobs in our state.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

This is Rupert Murdoch's Wallstreet Journal… Headline: “The Dumbest Trade War in History”

Just to repeat, I am currently covering the Musk/Federal government takeover stuff and can be reached on Signal here: signal.me#eu/fRqEx6402...

President Trump has insisted that his new tariffs on the country’s largest trading partners will not increase prices for Americans. But a review of how they work suggests that is not the case. Here’s what to know about who pays.

NPR has identified dozens of Jan. 6 defendants that Trump pardoned with prior convictions or pending charges for crimes including rape, sexual abuse of a minor, domestic violence, manslaughter, production of child sexual abuse material and drug trafficking. www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

No other state in the nation imports more goods to Canada than the Land of Lincoln, and Illinois is one of the Top 5 states in exports to both Canada and Mexico. All together, Illinois exports support 800,000 jobs – jobs now at risk thanks to Trump’s Tax on Working Families.

In a statement, @govpritzker.illinois.gov calls the imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China “Trump’s Taxes on Working Families.” #twill

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart. Don’t sell against the competition. Sell what you are doing to reduce people’s stress and make their life better It’s not about what’s wrong with the competition. It’s about what is right with you

Guess they didn't background check any of the j6 pardons. Shocking

Yes, the HPV vaccine is safe, despite R.F.K. Jr.'s claims. It's remarkably effective at preventing cancer — roughly 97% effective in preventing cervical cancer, and nearly 100% effective in preventing external genital warts.

A record-breaking high of nearly 466,000 Illinoisans signed up in the Get Covered IL Marketplace for affordable, high-quality health insurance. Through enhanced subsidies offered on the marketplace, our residents saved on average $540 a month on health insurance costs.

This is new level Handmaid’s Tale shit out of a memo from the new USDOT Sec. He wants to prioritize directing transportation dollars to communities with higher than national average of marriage and birth rates? 🥴

Caroline Kennedy stepped out of the shadows and onto social media to assail her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on the eve of his Senate hearing.

This, this, all of this! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

After speaking to Stellantis this afternoon, I’m proud to announce construction will now begin later this year. A win for workers and all of Illinois.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

ICYMI: The @chicago.suntimes.com investigated the shadowy world of crypto ATMs. We found they're used a lot by drug dealers and elderly scam victims, who are often duped into depositing money they'll never get back. And they're largely unregulated. chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

There’s no “speculation” here @nytimes.com. Fix your headline and condemn this foul gesture.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Written right there in the Constitution. The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

From public libraries to community centers, the city of Chicago offers more than 190 public facilities where anyone can go to keep warm this winter. Also, six warming centers open up when it drops below 32 degrees. Here's where you can find them. to.wttw.com/4g5wG5d

Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional. In Illinois, we follow the law. This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.

More the opposite. If I lived along the border in Indiana, I’d be begging to get ceded into Illinois.

Hello Bluesky! 👋 I made the jump. #Notgoingback 😉 If you know me, be sure to follow and I'll do the same. 👍
