At CDC, we just received a form email saying our records (SF-50s) changed.

When we checked, our union rights were gone.

This comes while we’re still reeling from an armed attack on our campus fueled by disinfo from our own boss, RFKJ.

To Donald Trump and his administration:

If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

🚨 Judge blocks HHS from giving ICE the personal info of 79M Medicaid enrollees.

The plan, rolled out without public notice, included addresses and Social Security numbers, prompting lawsuits from 20 states.

Every small hurdle helps protect privacy and access to care for the most vulnerable.

We're putting affordability for working families at the top of our agenda — that starts with lowering the cost of prescription drugs.

We're also putting a stop to PBMs gaming the system and offering direct support to small independent pharmacies.

SNAP is a lifeline for working families — helping to put food on the tables of hundreds of thousands of Illinoisians.

I'm joining my fellow governors in urging Congress to reject any proposal that would slash this vital program and harm the health and stability of Americans.
That’s why I organized a multi-state effort to urge congressional leadership to save SNAP. I’m grateful to the 22 governors who joined me.

Bravery is wheelchair users putting their bodies on the line to stop Medicaid cuts.

Shame is arresting them instead of listening.

Medicaid is a lifeline — not a line item.
People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

At a time when other politicians attempted to distort the truth and disrupt our state, we stayed true to the virtues of the Land of Lincoln.

As long as I'm governor, Illinois will uphold our Midwestern and American values — by treating people with dignity, respect, and fairness.
