In this all-new episode of the Mendoza Podcast we are talking about planning for retirement. I spoke with Richard Corral, Founding President of Retirement Systems about pension benefits, Social Security and why it's more important than ever to start saving for your future now. Tune in Monday!

Construction season is heating up so it was great to check in with the RFD Radio Network's Jim Taylor to discuss my office's efforts to enforce prevailing wage laws. We fight to make sure workers on publicly funded projects are paid a fair wage as required by law.

Today, I along with Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives President David Doig, testified on HB 4712, which would bar municipal officials from using TIF surplus funds to fill budget holes.

Health outcomes should not be determined by ZIP code. Safety net hospitals like Roseland Community Hospital are essential to public health, providing critical care to those who need it most. It is our responsibility to ensure they have the resources needed to continue serving our communities.

What makes our state and our nation strong is the diversity of people, cultures, and perspectives that shape it every day. I’m proud to celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month and recognize the impact and resilience of these communities. pantagraph.com/news/local/v...

Take a moment to appreciate the women in your life—the ones who inspire you, support you, and show up in ways big and small. Happy Women’s History Month to all the incredible women who make a difference every day. 🤍

We have a responsibility to pour into our young people and remind them of their power. At the Springfield Capitol building, I met an incredible group of students from Innovations High School in Chicago. I’m excited for what the future holds for them!

“The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is also called Passover, was approaching. The leading priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they were afraid of the people’s reaction.

Really, a Snake Plissken? One time on X, I ran into two Snake Plisskens—they were both MAGA—I looped both into a thread, started off with: Snake fucking Plissken wouldn't kneel before Donald Trump, then switched the genre to "Highlander" and said: there can be only one Snake Plissken! 😂
