We took an important step toward tackling Illinois’ pension debt. In partnership with Senator Martwick, we passed legislation to extend the bipartisan, voluntary COLA Buyout Program for an additional 2 years - building on a solution that’s already reduced our pension (1/3)

You might have seen the headlines about Illinois pensions. Here’s what it actually means for you: (1/4)

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)

Taxpayer dollars should never be used to reward attacks on our democracy. Yet today, we’re seeing a dangerous precedent unfold. Trump created a $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” which would allow individuals who claim they were “wronged” by the federal government (1/4)

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)

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

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.

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)

Black Liberals and their white-capitalist apologia.

Look what landed in my arm today. While working on my balcony garden, I felt this on my arm, at first I thought it's worm, but then I saw it. It's a baby praying mantis. It's so tiny (4-6mm) and so fragile. Put it on one my plants that has a few aphids on it so it can have a fiest.
