Today, while exercising my right to peacefully protest, federal agents deployed tear gas and pepper ball bullets at me and other Chicagoans at the Broadview ICE detention center. We will keep resisting the Trump regime, #handsoffchicago and all of our communities! @handsoffchicago.bsky.social

This is about free speech and intimidation. We must speak up and speak out for the injustices coming out of the Trump regime. From Jimmy Kimmel to immigrants to abortion providers and patients, this is not normal.

Gov. Pritzker signs new laws aiming to shield providers of abortion meds, ban ticketing in schools
Gov. JB Pritzker signed the final two bills from the spring session Friday, giving his approval to more than 430 bills approved by lawmakers this year.
As states surrounding Illinois are criminalizing doctors and making abortion inaccessible, Illinois is leading with bold, compassionate policy. Personal PAC, along with our champions in Springfield, are playing offenseβwe are the ones to determine our futures and safety.

Opinion | Pregnancy Is Going to Be Even More Dangerous in America
MUST READ from @nytopinion.nytimes.com: βThis [bill] will make babies less healthy from the very beginning. Even some of the people who ended up voting for this bill know how devastating it is going to be. What a preventable tragedy. What a pathetic shame.β

The Republican Budget Bill takes away health care from millions of people in order to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. This bill will make health care more expensive, inaccessible, and will strip us of our freedom to decide where we access care.
This bill will make our country sick.

Wisconsin Supreme Court invalidates the state's strict 1849 abortion law
Women in Wisconsin will continue to have access to abortion services under a new ruling from the state's highest court.
Todayβs Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling is a victory for abortion access. This marks a hardβfought victory after a 3 year struggle created by Trumpβs Supreme Courtβs Dobbs decision & decades of legal uncertainty. This is a win for freedom, but the fight for full abortion access continues.

This ruling doesnβt just impact Planned Parenthood, it opens the door for anti-abortion politicians to further erode public health systems & target clinics. Personal PAC is more committed than ever to electing leaders who will stand up to attacks on health care & ensure that no one is denied care.

How the States We Govern Have Stepped Up Since Dobbs
The Dobbs decision didnβt end abortion in America. It just redrew the battle lines, write governors JB Pritzker and Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Illinois so so fortunate to have a governor who champions, protects, and respects our reproductive freedom. Thank you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov!
