I’m ending Hanukkah feeling grateful and hopeful. Gathering this weekend at my son’s Hanukkah party was a beautiful reminder that community and love can carry us through even the hardest moments. May that light guide us forward.
This inhumanity is unacceptable, and we will continue to defend the dignity of every person in our community. To all those in the 9th District, and across the Chicago area, it’s crucial that you KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
Yet again, we are seeing reports of U.S. Border Control agents terrorizing community members in the 9th District. I’m disgusted and outraged. My team and I are monitoring developments closely and working with local partners to protect our neighbors.
U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino led a caravan of SUVs through Chicago and into the suburbs Wednesday morning, making at least one arrest in Evanston after a surprise return to the city a day earlier.
There’s a reason attempts to block state AI protections keep failing in Congress: they’re unpopular, undemocratic, and dangerous. Now the same Big Tech billionaires who stood behind Donald Trump at his inauguration are abusing executive power to get their way.
President Trump signed an executive order that aims to neuter state laws that limit the A.I. industry, granting broad authority to the attorney general to sue states that do not support the "United States’ global A.I. dominance." nyti.ms/44oIXPn
I recently spoke with three mothers who lost a child due to Big Tech’s negligence. For over a decade, they’ve demanded action, and Congress hasn’t delivered. Congress should not stop states from protecting children. Families have already paid the ultimate price. Congress must not fail them again.
Everyone, regardless of their immigration status, deserves to live with dignity and without fear. I'm proud of my community and @govpritzker.illinois.gov for speaking up, standing up, and defending our core American values of equality, justice, and the rule of law.
Today, I've signed into law legislation that expands legal protections for the people of Illinois. Dropping your kid off at day care, going to the doctor, or attending classes should not be a life-altering task. We will counter the Trump Administration's depravity.
Governor JB Pritzker joined bill sponsors, officials, and community advocates in Chicago’s Little Village to sign HB 1312. This pivotal legislation enshrines protections for immigrant families in Illinois in the wake of the Trump Administration’s lawless and aggressive immigration enforcement actions.
The Trump Administration's decision to roll back CAFE standards will squeeze our wallets, endanger our health, and increase climate pollution.   Republicans are handing a win to Big Oil and getting in the way of innovation.   We will not stop fighting for a clean energy economy!
Signed into law in 1975, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards regulate how far vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel.
The Iranian government’s relentless assault on its Baha’i minority is an outrage that demands action.   My updated bipartisan resolution with Rep. McCaul sends a stronger, unified message condemning Iran’s grave human rights abuses.
The Trump administration’s reckless and dangerous decision to abandon mandatory asbestos testing in cosmetic products is a failure of public trust and consumer protection. We must strengthen our cosmetic safety laws, close loopholes, and ensure supply chain transparency.
The FDA has suddenly dropped a proposed rule to require asbestos testing in cosmetics. The rule would've set up testing to identify cancer-causing asbestos in talc-containing products. Contamination has repeatedly been found in talc-based cosmetics before. www.consumeraffairs.com/news/fda-dro...
Ignoring a global epidemic doesn't make it disappear. The Trump admin choosing not to recognize World AIDS Day isn't just negligence, it's a conscious choice to abandon the countless people still fighting for their lives. To all those impacted, we see you and won't stop fighting on your behalf.
Wishing you all a warm and peaceful Thanksgiving! 🦃 Every day, I’m grateful for our communities’ compassion, resilience, and commitment to one another. May your day be filled with love, connection, and gratitude.
