On day one of my administration, I promised to get big things done for Illinoisans.
We've raised the minimum wage, guaranteed paid leave for workers, enshrined the right to choose, legalized adult-use cannabis, and rebuilt our infrastructure.
It's just the start.

#Easter is an important day for many and sharing a meal is a traditional part of this celebration. People like Betty who harvests carrots in CA’s Central Coast, make these sacred meals possible. #WeFeedYou

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."
BREAKING: Pope Francis Dies at 88. Here's How He Should Be Remembered
The late pontiff was a progressive pope who was outspoken on Trump, Gaza, the climate, and more.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.
Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.
Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.

As the judge said in his ruling: “The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders — especially by officials of a coordinate branch who have sworn an oath to uphold it.”
If the Administration ignores his ruling, he can hold them in contempt.
