Illinois is holding the people of Minnesota closely to our hearts today.
The start of the school year should be a time of renewed hope, not gun violence and devastation.
We stand with the victims and their families in Minneapolis.

Minnesota is heartbroken.
From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together.
Hug your kids close.

Warren: Donald Trump and every single Republican in Congress, including 5 Republicans right here in Nebraska voted to say we're take 10 million people, little babies, and grandmas and tell them no more care for you. That's the Republican Party, Donald Trump is building,

"Newsom is showing not just that resistance is plausible, but that especially when it's backed up with a plan it pays major political dividends — which hopefully will lead other Democrats to resist too."

Under my administration, Illinois has jumped from 30th to 13th in CNBC's Top States for Business — a historic high for our state.
It's a testament to the progress we've made here and a clear sign our fiscal responsibility is paying off.

Beshear on Trump's bill: "It's the single worst piece of legislation I've seen in my lifetime & it is an attack on rural America. In my state alone, 200k are gonna lose their coverage... 20k healthcare workers are gonna lose their jobs & we've got up to 35 rural hospitals that may close."

Illinois has officially ended the fiscal year with nearly $54 billion in revenue — the most the state has ever collected in a single year.
We've exceeded initial projections thanks to responsible fiscal management that prioritizes Illinoisans.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The President does not have the authority to enter into war without Congressional approval—it is unconstitutional. To begin a war is among the most consequential decisions a nation can make, affecting its troops, civilians, and the world.
