Affordability is our watchword in Illinois — and the bills I signed today are another step toward quality and affordable health care for all.
Here in our state, we're empowering the stakeholders that matter: patients and their providers.

Six years ago, Illinois was in the midst of a higher education crisis because of my predecessor.
I took office with a mandate to fix a system decimated by fiscal mismanagement and funding cuts.
If you work hard, you can now get a quality higher education here at home.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by our economy? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system.

The Commerce Department's Census Bureau on Thursday reported that the international trade in goods increased by about 11 percent in May as exports decreased while imports remained relatively unchanged — a sign that Trump's tariff strategy has been a colossal failure.

ICE agents are cowards.
Heavily armed masked and afraid to identify themselves they're going after people with no violent criminal history.
Soft targets
And seem to really enjoy beating the crap out of them.

A nursing home exec, who withheld over $10 million in employees’ payroll taxes, is now free of a jail sentence and a $4.4M restitution. All thanks to a pardon from our law and order president after his mother attended a $1 million Trump dinner.
