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.
Republicans are putting auto industry profits over Americans’ lives. Rolling back proven safety rules is reckless and deadly. For my entire career, I’ve stood with safety advocates and heard their firsthand accounts. I refuse to let extremists eliminate lifesaving protections.
Exclusive: Republicans plan to challenge vehicle-safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat.
Refugees fleeing violence deserve safety, not political attacks. They contribute to our economy, our communities, and our culture. Diversity is our strength, and refugees help make this nation great. We must reject this cruelty and choose compassion over fear.
The Trump administration is moving to reinterview certain refugees who were admitted to the United States under former President Joe Biden as part of a comprehensive review of their cases, according to an internal memo and a source familiar with the plans.
This year’s Trouble in Toyland report from Illinois PIRG makes one thing clear: too many dangerous toys are still reaching our kids. It was powerful hearing a firsthand account from Taylor Bethard, a young mom whose daughter died after ingesting a dangerous water bead.
For years, I’ve fought for safer cars, and this is a real win: female crash-test dummies are finally becoming standard.   This victory belongs to the organizing, the science, and everyone who never gave up.   It’s a long-overdue step toward ensuring our safety standards reflect all Americans.
The U.S. government has released a new crash test dummy design that advocates believe will help make cars safer for women.
Today we remember the trans lives lost, and we uplift the strength and resilience of the trans community. We must recommit to creating a world where every trans person can live safely and proudly. I will always keep fighting alongside you. #TransDayOfRemembrance
As a dues-paying @unitehere.org member, I know unions aren’t just important, they’re essential. Unions lift people out of poverty, raise workplace standards, & give workers the voice they deserve. It was great to welcome @gwenmillsuh.bsky.social to our @laborcaucus.house.gov meeting. #UnionStrong
