My mother was an activist. I could feel her spirit when I raised the minimum wage in Illinois. And when I capped the cost of insulin at $35. And every single time I've stood up for voting rights against Donald Trump. I know she'd be proud.

It's a great time to be a baseball fan in Chicago (especially if you're a Cubs fan like me). Congratulations to both teams for advancing to the postseason!

Law-abiding voters are now at risk thanks to this flawed and rushed system. It’s another disgraceful move by Trump—using government agencies to suppress the voices of the American people.

Medical debt has pushed too many families to the brink, and Illinois is taking action. While MAGA Republicans in Washington forced families off of their healthcare, I was proud to cancel $1.1 billion in medical debt for hard-working Illinoisans.

Trump wants you to believe that independent news agencies are publishing propaganda. If you want to see real propaganda, look no further than this ad, paid for by the U.S. government.

Democrats always clean up Republican messes. Ten years ago, the Republican governor of Illinois made this state a national punchline. Since then, we've balanced the budget every year, earned 12 credit upgrades, and raised the minimum wage to give 1.4 million Illinoisans a raise.

When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the only thing that mattered was protecting my time with my family. Thank you, @peoplemag for sharing my story.

Abraham Lincoln understood that public service was about something bigger than yourself. Donald Trump thinks it's about putting his name on everything he can.

It's time to rein in AI. I signed an executive order creating our new Illinois Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cabinet. Illinois is stepping up. It's time for Congress to do the same.

The president, his family, and his bootlickers are selling influence and power at the expense of our national security and your financial security.

It’s time to demand from our leaders that they show empathy to the struggling and compassion to the destitute. The wind is shifting in Democratic politics, and the public is on board with the new winds blowing.

Thank you to Barb for sharing her GLP-1 story with me and how it’s given her her life back. It helped me tell my own.

You couldn't find a whistle to buy. Neighbors who had never protested in their lives showed up to protect our immigrant and Latino communities. That's who Illinoisans are, and I'm proud to keep standing with them.

So many things impact weight gain/loss regardless of age. Having the courage to make a medical decision that can model healthy choices for others, that’s good stuff. GLP-1s, diet, & exercise is a great combo. Thanks for sharing @JBPritzker & well done. chicago.suntimes.com/illinoi…

“GLP-1s aren’t a moral failing; they are a health tool. For many of us, they are the catalyst that make diet and exercise more likely to succeed.” Governor of Illinois @JBPritzker shares his personal story of how he lost 80 pounds with the help of weight-loss drugs, and why expanding access to them is a "responsibility" for governments jbpritzker.substack.com/p/ye…

.@JDVance — you and Donald Trump don't deserve another chance. Working families are struggling, family farms are in chaos, and the American people are ready for something new.

Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur fast to all those observing around the world. On this day of atonement and prayer, may we all find space for reflection and renewal. From our family to yours, G’mar chatima tova.

In Illinois, we’ve anticipated the risks of recursive AI. That’s why in July, I enacted the most stringent AI safety measures in the country. It’s time for Congress to step up and rein in AI nationwide.

When Donald Trump says our country is in a "golden age," he isn't talking about a golden age for your family. Only for his.
