Americans want to be able to afford health care, not another war in the Middle East. The consequences of Donald Trump's actions are mounting, and it's only getting worse for working families.

Donald Trump will cut $1 trillion to Medicaid — with as many as 400,000 Illinoisans losing their health care coverage by 2028. Tax breaks for his donors and friends on the backs of working families. Where are the President’s priorities?

As Women's History Month comes to a close, we celebrate the women in Illinois who broke barriers and moved our nation forward. Their stories don't end in March; they inspire us all year long — and we commit in our state to empowering the next generation of women and girls.

Social media companies have shown us they won't step up, so Illinois is stepping in. It's time to pass the Children's Social Media Safety Act.

Here in Illinois, we're investing in high-quality child care and early childhood education. I was honored to speak about the progress we've made toward universal pre-K and more with @hillaryclinton.bsky.social and Former Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs at the Common Sense Summit this week.

Vietnam War Veterans Day is a time to honor and remember our veterans for their heroism and sacrifice. It’s their courage that continues to inspire us all. Thank you for your service.

A historic run 20 years in the making! Congrats to the Fighting Illini. Let’s take it home. I-L-L!

There isn't enough housing available — and outdated laws make it difficult and expensive to build more. The Building Up Illinois Developments plan would eliminate unnecessary barriers to housing construction and close financing gaps for housing of all kinds.

Let’s cut the red tape, modernize codes, streamline permitting, and lower costs. It’s time to build, Illinois.

Welcome to the stage, The Chicks! Just the latest in a string of powerhouse performances we’ve brought to Springfield. Look forward to seeing you all there!

Expanding E15 fuel helps lower prices for consumers amid rising costs while boosting demand for corn grown by Illinois farmers. That’s why I joined a bipartisan group of governor’s to push for this to help provide relief. Now, let’s make it permanent.

When the federal government abandons its responsibilities, Illinois will step up and be prepared. We’ll follow the science, listen to the experts, and do everything in our power to make sure families get the care they need.

Big Tech has to answer for the harm that social media is causing our children. Yesterday’s verdict confirmed these platforms were designed for addiction — and proves the Children’s Social Media Safety Act in Illinois is needed now. Great to speak with @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social on our efforts.

Firefighter Michael Altman passed away in the line of duty after battling a fire in Rogers Park. Our hearts are with his family and the CFD as we grieve the loss of this hero. I’ve ordered our flags to fly at half-staff in his honor. May his memory be a blessing.

Equal pay for equal work. On Women's Equal Pay Day, we renew that call. Under my administration, we have raised the minimum wage, ensured fair compensation for workers with disabilities, and increased salary transparency — and we'll keep fighting to close the wage gap.

Pulling National Guard members from their families, jobs, and communities to make a political statement is wrong, and doing so while refusing to pay TSA workers is indefensible.

We want to make it easier, faster, and more cost-effective to build homes in Illinois. An ambitious slate of reforms to eliminate barriers, lower costs for construction, produce a wider range of family-friendly housing, and streamline construction processes.

We need to get out of Iran, not deploy troops there. This is just another one of Donald Trump's illegal adventures around the world that doesn’t make any sense.

We need to stop prioritizing parking lots over people. Today, I assembled a roundtable to discuss our Building Up Illinois Developments Plan — and the consensus was that we need to act fast. Looking forward to passing it and getting to work in our neighborhoods.

Illinois continues to prove it’s the place for companies that want to grow and compete. Mars Snacking’s decision to expand its global HQ and create 600 new jobs reflects the strength of our workforce, infrastructure, and business environment. More opportunities for Illinoisans!

The Court saw what was obvious to all. Trump’s pause in funding the Red Line Extension was a desperate attempt to distract from his failures and to use as leverage in a political game. Work needed to deliver on an overdue promise can continue for Chicago's Far South Side.

Standing with the future of agriculture in our state today. As the FFA say we’re learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, and living to serve.

Happy #NationalAgDay, Illinois!

Illinois farmers feed the world. Soybeans, corn, pork, beef, pumpkins, horseradish, and more — we're working with them so they remain competitive in this uncertain world economy. To the farmers at Illinois Agriculture Legislative Day and across the state, we have your backs.

It's not just saving for a home. It's saving for everything else too. IHDA Access Home helps first-time home buyers in Illinois cover those upfront costs with up to $15,000 in assistance. Making that first step feel more within reach. Find a lender at ihdamortgage.org.

Sheridan Gorman's murder is a tragedy — and the person responsible must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. My deepest condolences to the family, friends, and Loyola University community grieving this devastating loss. May her memory be a blessing.

ICYMI: Hyundai Translead is creating nearly 2,500 new full-time jobs in Will County. Another win to add to the list of businesses expanding and relocating to our state.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are keeping our airports in chaos and instilling fear in Illinoisans to pass a voter suppression bill — instead of paying our TSA agents. It’s time to get our nation’s airports back on track now.

ICYMI: Illinois’ #CEJA Workforce Training Hubs are helping Illinoisians prepare for jobs in the clean energy industry. 🔋 Read more about the program’s impact on the Waukegan area. – www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/06/g...

#Illinois is a rising film & TV production hub, hitting a record-breaking $700M+ in expenditures in 2025 according to data from @govpritzker.illinois.gov and @illinoisdceo.bsky.social#Illinois Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4bYrMan

Illinois is leading the quantum economy and accelerating opportunity. The On-Ramp program ensures that the tenants of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park can hit the ground running.

Donald Trump is focused on gold coins bearing his own face and his gilded ballroom. Meanwhile, you’re focused on paying the rising costs of gas and groceries. Make it make sense.

Illinois is on its way to being the best state in the nation to live and raise a family — and that starts with buying a home. Our new program provides a boost for first-time buyers who are putting down roots in communities across the state.

It's time to build, Illinois.

It’s not enough for Donald Trump to leave housing alone; he’s attempting to roll back civil rights protections in housing. Thank you, @ilattygeneral.bsky.social, for leading this challenge.

I've made it my mission to allow filmmakers to share their stories — all while creating good jobs for our people: 📽️ Extending the Illinois Film Production Tax Credit 🎬 Investing in the Film Workforce Development Fund 🎞️ Upgrading the Illinois Soundstage Capital Grant

The future of film will be shaped right here in Illinois. We're home to the third-best big city for those who work in film & TV, 2 million square feet of studio space and nearly 70 sound stages, and regional film offices across the state.

When I visited Cinespace in 2019, I promised to forge a path forward so that the film industry can reach even greater heights. And now we’re delivering with more than $700 million in film production in our state in 2025.

A win against Trump and RFK Jr.'s agenda to erase the trans community. Here in Illinois, we will continue to fight for a future where the trans community and their providers live freely, without fear of punishment.

Eid Mubarak, Illinois. As we mark Eid al-Fitr, may today be filled with family, friends, and blessings after a long month of reflection.

The war with Iran should have never happened — it must end now. Everybody will suffer from those on the front lines to those at home with rising gas prices.

Proud to be here at Cinespace today to announce an all-time record for the Illinois film industry. Last year, film production expenditures in Illinois reached an all-time high of $703 million. That’s generated over 18,000 hires paying out over $400 million in wages.

Locked in, Illinois. My March Madness picks are in — Duke and Illinois all the way.

He would and he will. Don't worry, we'll make sure to hold you accountable.

Donald Trump is lining his own damn pockets. All while he owes Illinoisans $8,679,261,600. Time to pay up.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Illinois!

Every Illinoisan deserves to have their ballot cast and counted. In our state, our elections are safe and secure — your voice will be heard and respected. We’ve expanded early voting, curbside voting, and made the vote-by-mail registry permanent to protect your right to vote.

Make your voice heard, Illinois. Polls are open until 7 PM — make time today to cast your ballot if you haven’t yet. Find your polling place at elections.il.gov.

As the Trump Admin fails to keep airports running and make transit safer, Sec. Duffy launched a sham investigation into our local transit. Maybe when you care less about pajamas at the airport and more about real solutions as we do, we'll take note. Get back to work, Sean.

Welcome to Illinois, Hyundai Translead! As a new manufacturer in our state, their investment will create 2,500 jobs and opportunities for working families in Will County and beyond. Another addition to a growing list of companies relocating or expanding to our state.
