If State Farm is truly interested in being a good neighbor, it should be transparent and let the numbers speak for themselves.

Other insurance companies work with us on this, but State Farm has refused.

Without the data, homeowners have no assurance.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Trump promised to lower costs, but that’s not happening – the very least they could do is preserve SNAP access for low-income families struggling to feed their kids.

This doesn’t just impact families – it hurts grocers, it hurts employees, and it hurts local economies.

Why is it that they can find the money during a shutdown to pay their masked federal agents wreaking havoc in our communities, but not help people in need put food on the table?

One child going hungry in America is one too many – this used to be a value we could all agree upon.

The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans need to do their damn job and start delivering for the American people.

Enough is enough.

Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets.

Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away.

We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.

Donald Trump will keep trying to invade Illinois with troops — and we will keep defending the sovereignty of our state.

Militarizing our communities against their will is not only un-American but also leads us down a dangerous path for our democracy.
