My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.

Dolly Parton's free book gifting program was such a profound gift. No one asked for it. She just sent books to kids all over the US and elsewhere. My children loved receiving their "dolly books." An act of pure generosity that meant so much to so many families.

BREAKING: The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Protect IL Communities Act. Illinois will continue banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines capable of inflicting mass casualties. A victory in the fight to end gun violence that helps keep our communities safe.

Today, we pause to remember the lives stolen and many more forever changed by the mass shooting in Highland Park on the Fourth of July parade-goers. We honor those we've lost, stand with survivors, and recognize the strength of a community that refused to be defined by violence.

Illinois has the most diverse and equitable cannabis industry in the nation — as the industry evolves, our laws must too. Today, we strengthen protections for children, expand patients’ access, advance further social equity, and operate our regulatory system more efficiently.

What was once common sense is now the absurd under Trump. These dangerous weapons of war were taken off the streets to save lives. Here in Illinois, we took a stand against the gun lobby to keep communities safe with our assault weapons ban — and we’ll keep taking a stand.

Happy Pride, Chicago! 🌈 Today we celebrate love, authenticity, and the freedom to be exactly who you are. But here in Illinois, Pride isn’t just a parade or a month on the calendar. It’s a promise. We celebrate equality, inclusion, and dignity 365 days a year—and we’ll never stop fighting for a state where everyone belongs. Happy Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #Pride #Pride365 #WinnersDoTheWork #GoodTimes

Illinois is reining in the corporations looking to make an extra dime off the backs of Illinoisans. Enough is enough. Today, we say goodbye to junk fees once and for all.

Since SCOTUS gutted access to reproductive health services, the last 4 years have been marked by loss and pain for families all over the country. Illinois is now—and will always be—a safe haven for healthcare.

Grateful for @RepBobMorgan, Sen. Omar Aquino, and @ILAttyGeneral for their leadership in crafting and passing this bill to ensure Illinois keeps standing up for affordability, accountability, and transparency. I look forward to signing this into law and banning hidden junk fees.
