Trump's administration is not only openly flouting the law, but they're also abandoning their responsibility to our students.
Today, I'm joining governors across the nation calling upon Sec. McMahon to release $6.8B the administration is withholding from schools and students.

Thanks to the Christian County Democratic Women for inviting @annecaprara.bsky.social & me to speak at their town hall meeting in Taylorville. When @jbpritzker.bsky.social said “everywhere, all at once” this is what he meant.

Take it from former Sec. of Education Duncan: students should be able to get a bachelor's at a community college.
To build an economy where every Illinoisan can get ahead, we need an education system that meets them where they are, regardless of age, background, or zip code.

With Trump dismantling k-12 education and attacking higher ed, there has never been a more important time for states to lead and create more educational opportunities for their residents.
That’s exactly what Gov Pritzker is doing here in Illinois- appreciate his vision and leadership!

A bill is moving through Springfied with support from @govpritzker.illinois.gov to allow community colleges to provide four-year degrees. @arneduncan.bsky.social leans in to support. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/04/28/o...

Trump has exactly zero educational achievement goals for our nation’s children.
No goals
No strategies to achieve a goal
No metrics to measure success
No transparency around results
Education is nation building work
It should be the ultimate bipartisan or nonpartisan issue
Kids deserve better!

@organizeil.bsky.social is a dynamic leader who is going to center children and families as the state prepares to launch the new Department of Early Childhood. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Today, I'm proud to announce Dr. Teresa Ramos as Inaugural Secretary of the Illinois Department of Early Childhood.
I can think of no better person positioned to shepherd IDEC. Her expertise across the public and private sector assures me that she will lead with success.
