Good riddance, Noem. ✌️
Her and her agency have caused immeasurable harm to Illinois communities, and must still be held accountable in a court of law for their actions.
In moments like this I wish we had a functioning & independent Congress.
May G-d protect our troops, and give us the wisdom to both protect innocent Iranians and bring swift justice to the murderous Khamenei regime.
Illinois is one of the few states in the middle of the country that protects the right to comprehensive reproductive healthcare.
Supporting care here means supporting access for people who have nowhere else to turn.
Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I pause to remember my great-grandparents, Salomon “Sally” Hartog and Jetchen Hartog, who were murdered by the Nazi’s. (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)
BREAKING: Israel confirmed it is currently searching for the remains of Ran Gvili, the last hostage held by Hamas and the PIJ in northern Gaza.
Ran Gvili was killed and kidnapped on October 7 after heroically saving countless lives in Kibbutz Alumim.
How many more innocent Americans have to be murdered by ICE to fulfill the strongman fever dreams of our President?
I worked hard to elect @kamalaharris.com in 2020 and 2024, and I am disgusted to hear of the antisemitic “dual loyalty” questions asked of @joshshapiropa.bsky.social during his VP vetting.
VP Harris should immediately address this with an apology, and make sure this never happens again, DNC.

This guy 👇 wants to deny pre-existing conditions, but send you $100 in Trump Bucks while your healthcare costs tens of thousands.
I’m not kidding - my 3rd grader could have come up with a better “Great Healthcare Plan.”
Sit this one out, man.
This is why Illinois should ban AI from denying your health insurance claims👇
AI offers tremendous potential in healthcare - but AI denying access to medicine, surgeries or prescriptions should be taken off the table.

In the 75 year history of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, we’ve never had a Secretary so committed to gambling with the health of millions of children.
RFK Jr.’s conspiracy theories will lead to higher mortality and death. Get vaccinated!!

Horrified by the vile attack on the Beth Israel Congregation, and praying for Jackson, Mississippi’s Jewish community tonight.
Across the country, we are seeing a disturbing rise in antisemitic hate speech and violence. 🧵
3 years ago Illinois banned assault weapons, high capacity magazines, and rapid-fire devices.
Illinois is undeniably safer - we have had fewer mass shootings and less gun violence.
We will keep making progress, and won’t let the gun industry dictate the safety of our state.👊💪
Shabbat Shalom, Gov (and to the rest of the great state of Illinois)!
Five years later and the wounds from the #January6th Insurrection at the U.S. Capitol are still raw.
We must never take our democracy for granted, and continue pushing to hold those accountable who threatened our great country and attacked law enforcement that day.

As IL legislators who’ve passed some of our state’s most significant legislation on artificial intellgence, we know what we’re talking about when we tell you President Trump’s AI executive order is unenforceable, dangerous and a nonstarter for our state.

Wishing you all an extraordinary, safe and (most of all) Democratic 2026!! 💪👊
Happy New Year 🥳 🎆 🎉!!
Illinois will never, ever, abandon our most vulnerable in need of medical care.
Thank you, @kwameraoul.bsky.social.
Trump should never have tried to subvert our National Guard for his petty grievances.
Hopefully this means our selfless guardsmen and guardswomen can be back home with family for the Holidays.
Illinois will never let RFK Jr. strip away our public health.👊💪.
Donald Trump has bowed to Big Tech, rather than protecting you from AI exploiting your healthcare and data. The President has made it abundantly clear: he wants no protections against AI, no matter the cost to our privacy, health, or safety.

We must denounce hate and evil in all forms against the Jewish people. Joining the Jewish Caucus, please see our official joint statement: we rebuke the horrific attacks witnessed yesterday at Bondi Beach, Australia, as the community celebrated the first night of Hanukkah
As we prepare to light the first candle of Chanukah, my heart is heavy. I am devastated and horrified by the antisemitic terrorist attack in Australia, and by the violence that has taken innocent lives and shattered families this holiday. (1/3)
Tonight, Jews across America will light the 1st Hanukkah candles and we will all be thinking about Bondi Beach and 11 murdered Australian Jews.
The story of Hanukkah is about survival - not just survival from a time of long ago, but survival from today’s antisemitism✡️🕎.
Any elected official just “sending thoughts and prayers” tonight aren’t doing their damn jobs.
Mass shootings continue to happen because “thoughts and prayers” aren’t followed by government action to protect our youth from gun violence 🤬🤬.
The Trump Administration finds new ways to pull the rug out from under Americans every day.
And now they're putting babies in danger.
Illinois just enacted a law to provide our own science-based recommendations to protect access to vaccines so families get the care they need.
“Committee member Hibbeln continued to criticize the efforts to change the recommendations. Hibbeln said this was the 4th version of the language presented in 96 hours, and that ‘no rational science has been presented’ to support changing the recommendations.”
Deadly insanity🤬.
Hell no, Illinois is not gonna let RFK Jr. and his conspiracy theorists destroy our public health system.
IL will continue to make sure our families have access to life-saving vaccines, and that insurance will cover the cost.
