Happy birthday, President Obama! I was proud to be part of your 2012 campaign and the movement you built around hope and the belief that we could make this country better.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Block Club Chicago. Read our new article now.

It's our young people that bring the energy to every fight. It was an honor to join the College Democrats of Illinois at their annual convention.

It was a pleasure to attend the 46th Annual Chinatown Summer Fair! It was a beautiful celebration of food, history, and culture in one of our most vibrant communities.

Chicago knows ball. I'm proud we could host the @wnba.com All-Star Game—right here in the greatest city in the world!

Packed house. Loud crowd. Great basketball.

Everyone watches women’s sports. Welcome to Chicago, @wnba.com.

We only have 100 days until Election Day, folks! It's been an incredible ride so far, but me and @jbpritzker.bsky.social aren't done yet. Let's keep it going.

We get to write the next chapter for this state, for this country, and for this century. And Illinois Democratic Women are leading the way.

Every day until Election Day, we're going to organize, and we're going to fight. Thank you, @lakedems.bsky.social, for having me at your Unity BBQ.

The future is still in our hands, and @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I will be marching on with you each and every day until victory is won. Thank you, Rock of Ages Baptist Church for having me.

Here's the truth: Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

Donald Trump isn't protecting our elections; he's weaponizing 'election integrity' as a pretext to dictate who is allowed to win.

Trump: "Congress must pass the SAVE America Act"

Illinois just passed one of the toughest AI safety laws in the nation. Workers and consumers absorbing the risk while Big Tech reaps the profits? Not here. This is the kind of leadership our state should be known for. Under @jbpritzker.bsky.social, it is. https://bit.ly/4gBm4iv

A bipartisan housing bill passed Congress last month. Trump refused to sign it — holding it hostage in an attempt to force his voter suppression bill through. Last night, due to his inaction, that housing bill became law anyway. Despite Trump, not because of him.

Happy birthday, America! 250 years ago, our founding fathers believed in this country. It's up to us to carry that legacy forward.

Almost one year ago, Donald Trump celebrated the founding of our country by stripping millions of Americans of their healthcare and food assistance. America deserves better.

We come together to do amazing things. That’s what gives me hope. That’s the America I believe in. It was an honor to join @jbpritzker.bsky.social for Lynnwood's @america250.bsky.social Independence Day Cookout.

Congratulations to Superintendent Larry Snelling on his upcoming retirement: the City of Chicago and State of Illinois are stronger and safer for his dedication, leadership and professionalism. https://bit.ly/4p1F8Zm

Donald Trump knows he can’t win every election. That’s why he keeps looking for new ways to keep Americans from participating in them. Today, he failed.

It's been four years since Trump's Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — and four years of devastating consequences for women. Illinois protected women's right to choose. It's time for the rest of the country to do the same.

Calumet Fisheries is a nearly-century-old Chicago institution, and a delicious one at that. Thank you for letting me show you one of our gems of the city, Pooja.

My grandfather was my hero, and I miss him every day. Happy Father's Day to all the dads and father figures out there.

Juneteenth isn't just a celebration. It's a reminder of our past, and a promise we carry into the present to never go back. Happy Juneteenth, Illinois.

From Lincoln to Obama, Illinois has always been home to history. Congratulations, @barackobama.bsky.social and Michelle Obama. Chicago is proud to welcome the new Obama Presidential Center.

Congratulations, @jbpritzker.bsky.social, on signing your eighth consecutive balanced budget. Illinois is proof that the right leadership changes everything.

JB and I have seen how this administration is doing everything it can to divide us. When racism and fascism go unchecked, hatred is allowed to grow. We won’t stand for it. https://bit.ly/4vpme0T

Pritzker summons words of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson to decry cross burning in Grant Park

“‘Keep hope alive,’” Pritzker said, after saying Tuesday’s cross burning in Grant Park “speaks to what happens when the seeds of racism and fascism grow unchecked in our country.”

Mayor Williams continues to make his mark on Urbana, from strengthening public safety and encouraging economic development to making the young people of Urbana the heart of everything. It was a blast attending this year’s Mayor’s Charitable Ball.

The Trump Administration is not only trying to take away your health care coverage, but they are also trying to force you into debt while doing it. https://nyti.ms/4orKwF1

One of my favorite things about traveling across Illinois is spending time in places like Urbana. Local farmers. Small businesses. People putting in the work every day to strengthen their communities.

Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and Stephen Miller — we're gonna hold them all accountable.
