Trump cut SNAP. Now he’s hiding the data showing how much worse food insecurity has become. Families deserve solutions—not coverups.

A bit of good news for your feed! More proof that healed people heal people.

Every woman deserves to bring life into this world safely and with dignity. In Illinois, we're working to end diaper need. Read more: 19thnews.org/2025/09/diap...

We're looking for answers for our people and for Illinois' law enforcement. This isn't a game—this is about people's daily lives.

Those closest to the problem are often the ones with the most insight into real solutions. Listening and learning from those creating better, safer neighborhoods—that's the path to true community safety.

¡Feliz Día de la Independencia de México! 🎉 Today is a celebration of Mexico’s independence, resilience and the fight for freedom. ¡Viva Mexico!

Let’s be clear: troops in any American city aren't okay and can't be normalized. Leaders in Illinois were united in telling him loudly we don’t want him here—there’s no emergency. While Trump moves his circus on, we will still be here making Illinois the best place to call home.

On the anniversary of September 11th, we remember the lives lost and the families who mourn. May we also remember the spirit of humanity that united us that day. May today forever serve as a reminder of the strength we find when we stand together.

Chicago's resilience is in its people. At Nam Bac Hang, that spirit shines bright—proving that care and compassion is our strength.

There’s no emergency in Chicago.

CNN reports the Trump admin will begin an 'immigration enforcement operation' as soon as next week. Let me be clear: there is no emergency here—he wants to bait us. Trump's plan to attack Chicago has nothing to do with immigration. This con of his has nothing to do with safety.

70 years ago, Emmett Till, just a teenager from Chicago, was lynched. His family’s courage after his death changed the course of history and forced the world to confront the violence faced by Black Americans. We honor his memory and their bravery.

To the families grieving this unbearable loss, Illinois has you in our hearts. To every Minnesotan feeling afraid and heartbroken, Illinois is with you. All of our children deserve to see tomorrow's sunrise.

On Women’s Equality Day, we honor the trailblazers who fought for the right to vote and recognize the work still ahead. Equality isn't a moment—it’s a movement that we continue every day.

I stand with @govpritzker.illinois.gov. Our city is a home, full of families and communities who deserve respect—not fear mongering from the President. Deploying the National Guard against our own people is unconstitutional and un-American.

FYI Mr. President: "African-American ladies" aren't looking for tanks in our neighborhoods—we want economic justice.

Last night’s reporting from the @washingtonpost.com that President Trump is preparing to deploy federal troops in Chicago proves what we all know: he is willing to go to any lengths possible to create chaos if it means more political power—no matter who gets hurt.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the legal system to silence journalists. Democracy cannot function without a free press—Illinois is fighting back.

FACT: Trump is putting at least 360,000 Illinoisans at risk of losing SNAP. That’s food off the table for families—and a direct hit to our local economies, farmers, and small businesses.

A win for Illinois workers, businesses, and communities!

Proud of Illinois’ community colleges! 🎓 With the third largest system in the nation, we’re making education more affordable and accessible—so our students can find opportunity right here at home.

The Pritzker-Stratton administration puts people over policy, always. The Birth Equity initiative is tackling the maternal mortality crisis so women in every zip code can give birth safely. 📸: Chicago South Side Birth Center Initiative, 2024

In Illinois, we stand with our workers and protect working families. The bills signed today ensure Illinoisans are paid what they’re owed and protected by the strongest safety standards. Illinois will remain a national leader in protecting workers' rights—no matter what.

Say her name: Sonya Massey. When a community cries out for help, it is our job to respond with action. The bill signed today bearing her name is one step of many to enact change. Sonya Massey will not be forgotten.

Getting ready for the first weekend of the Illinois State Fair and we’re here for it, Springfield! Find our tent at Brian Raney Avenue off Main Street—we’ve so much to share. 🎪 Come say hi!

Celebrating everything that makes Illinois special—our farmers, families and fair fun!

We never expect our armed forces to be in harms way while at home—but the gun violence epidemic doesn’t discriminate. To the service members and their families who call Fort Stewart home, I’m lifting you in prayer. abcnews.go.com/US/active-sh...

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became a reality due to the relentless activism of people across the country—including my dad, who marched in Selma. My father’s journey inspires me everyday and I channel his courage and conviction as we continue the fight for civil rights.

Happy Obama Day! 🎉 Happy birthday, @barackobama.bsky.social—and thank you for being a proud son of Illinois and a true leader for our nation.

While Trump's ego continues to wreak havoc on our economy, Illinois has shown that stability is possible. We kicked republicans out for playing with our livelihoods and delivered 7 balanced budgets since. We know how to deliver stability. Trump knows how to deliver chaos.

I want every Black woman in Illinois to hear this: Donald Trump may be trying to erase the gains we’ve made, but he can’t erase us. Black women are the backbone of the economy. When we lose ground, the whole nation feels the impact.

As lawyers, we fight for trust, justice, and the rule of law. Right now, this commitment is being tested by some of the most influential powers in the world. Thank you National Bar Association for your long and continuing history of standing up for justice and congratulations on 100 years!

60 years of Medicare = 60 years of dignity for American seniors. From routine checkups to rehabilitative care, Medicare fills essential gaps. Now, Trump is paying for billionaire favors by cutting our seniors' most basic needs. We are fighting back.

ICYMI: Trump’s attack on our bipartisan TRUST Act was dismissed in court. The law is clear: state and local law enforcement are meant to protect our communities.

Yesterday we witnessed the trauma of two mass shootings within hours of each other.    This is not normal.   In Illinois yesterday, two new commonsense gun safety bills were signed into law. Our work is far from over and we won't stop fighting until every community is safe.

We're fighting for you, Illinois.

It’s World IVF Day and the advances we have made in safe, effective reproductive healthcare deserve to be celebrated. In Illinois, your right to choose when, where, and how you create a family is a nonnegotiable—we will remain a safe haven.

We’re 14 days away from the Illinois State Fair! Be sure to swing by our tent—we’ve got lots to share! What are you most excited for this year?

Trump keeps breaking promises. He said his tariffs would lower costs—but Americans are paying price. Illinoisans, know that @govpritzker.illinois.gov and I are fighting back: cutting the grocery tax, lowering prescription prices, and making college more affordable and accessible.

You can't be what you can't see! Through our Girls Lead program, Chelsea joined Senator Doris Turner's office and got a front-row seat to the hard work that makes Illinois the best place to call home—from agriculture to education and more!

Proud of the many trailblazing women who call Illinois home! Congratulations to the recipients of Chicago Innovation's Women in Innovation Awards. Thank you for the doors you open, the seats at the table you create, and the work you do to make a brighter future for us all. 📸: Chicago Innovation

Illinois colleges and universities will be more accessible and affordable for our high school grads!

Hurt people, hurt people. But we also know that healed people, heal people. With our Justice, Equity, and Opportunity (#JEO) program, we are making sure no community in Illinois is left behind.

Today, we mark five years since the loss of Congressman John Lewis. I'm thinking of good trouble today and our continued fight for equality.

We're making your prescriptions more accessible and affordable.

The Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation awarded 150 scholarships to Black students continuing their education at a 2 or 4-year school. Not only was this a celebration of their achievements but also a reminder of the important work they’ve yet to do. The future is bright! 📷: Ven Sherrod

Illinois is open for business 🙌🏾

Across Illinois, we’re seeing food banks, grocery stores, farmers, and state officials stand together in the face of Trump’s devastating cuts to SNAP—we will always fight for our communities.

Thank you to every member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists who joined us this week. Day in and day out, you shine a light for your communities, drawing national attention to the issues that need it most. Your dedication to the free press does not go unnoticed—keep up the fight!
