With less than a week to finalize Illinois’ state budget, one of my top priorities in Springfield is continuing funding for our Nonprofit Security Grant Program. At a time when hate crimes and targeted violence are on the rise, no one should feel unsafe because of who they are or how they worship.

Today is a BIG day for Illinois! I joined @GovPritzker as he signed the Clean & Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA) into law, a historic win for working families, our clean energy future, and a stronger, more reliable grid. (1/5)

Today, we're back in Springfield, kicking off the start of the Spring 2026 legislative session, and my focus is clear: affordability and real relief for working families. (1/3)

The price you see should be the price you pay at checkout. Earlier this week, I passed HB 228, the Junk Fee Ban Act, out of the Consumer Protection Committee, with the goal of requiring all hidden costs, like convenience and service fees, to be disclosed upfront. (1/3)

I passed the Junk Fee Ban Act out of the Illinois House. At a time when families are being squeezed from every direction, hidden fees are making it harder to afford everyday purchases. This bill is simple: the price you see should be the price you pay. (1/2)

With less than two weeks left in the Spring 2026 Legislative Session, my colleagues and I in Springfield have a lot on our plate to get done before June 1st. #Illinois #Springfield #springfieldil #springfieldillinois #StateBudget

🚨 The Supreme Court just made it easier to supress your vote, and nobody is talking about it.  In February 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the USPS can't be sued, even when it intentionally refuses to deliver your mail. (1/7) #illinois #pritzker #earlyvoting #election #vote

As the Chief Sponsor of the Illinois Assault Weapons Ban, I have always vehemently opposed the work of the NRA, an organization that prioritizes weapons over human lives. 🧵(1/2)

Illinois will not flinch, nor will we falter, when confronted with attacks on our healthcare system by figures like RFK Jr. Today, alongside @GovPritzker, my bill HB767 was signed into law: a first-in-the-nation measure establishing a state-based vaccine-recommending body.

My bill, HB 862, has passed the House - a major step forward for disability rights in Illinois. This legislation creates the Illinois Department of Disability Advocacy and Guardianship, elevating the current commission to a Cabinet-level agency to strengthen accountability and transparency. (1/2)

This claim is 100% weapons grade bullshit. Another Fox "News" host that's full of shit...

With modern technology, the elderly and disabled can do a lot to take care of their own day-to-day needs. Architecture also helps. Elderly people on upper floor balconies can watch grandchildren playing in protected courtyards of courtyard buildings. Some nurses assist or design clinical trials.

When the people speak, it's not our job to tell them they're wrong. Our job is to listen. We can advocate against it all we want, but once that ballot initiative passes, you've got to respect it. These guys don't respect it, and they don't respect us. Let's vote them out.

The SCP Foundation is nearly 9,000 entries of horror written as bureaucracy. That's the secret. Clinical language applied to impossible things creates a dread that straight horror can't touch. Here are our thoughts: buff.ly/N3nqh4a #SCPFoundation, #SCP, #Creepypasta, #HorrorFiction, #NerdChic
