The Trump administration’s attempt to stop the allocation of congressionally mandated funds is illegal, and I am proud to have successfully protected this important funding that helps ensure all children have access to a quality public education: tinyurl.com/3ceupz3a

Congress enacted this critical funding to support families and help working parents access childcare, and the president does not have the authority to withhold it to punish perceived political enemies.

The Trump Administration claims that diversity initiatives violate the Equal Protection Clause and anti-discrimination laws. Just because someone dislikes diversity, does not make it illegal. See how we are fighting back. #ILAGFightsFedOverreach

In 2025 the Trump Administration froze SNAP benefits for almost 2 million Illinois residents who rely on food assistance to feed their families. We filed a lawsuit, and SNAP benefits were restored. Here’s what happened. #ILAGFightsFedOverreach

This is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to invent an emergency in order to further policy preferences. This EO would allow important environmental protections to be bypassed while doing nothing to lower energy prices: tinyurl.com/22ezbs5w

Conceived of by Dr. Carter G. Woodson 100 years ago, #BlackHistoryMonth is a time to celebrate and acknowledge the rich history and accomplishments of Black Americans. We honor those who fought against injustice and use history as a guide for the injustices we face today.

The demands made of Minnesota represent an intolerable threat against democracy. We will stand firm in the face of this administration’s illegal efforts to trample over democratic norms, state sovereignty, and the rule of law: tinyurl.com/46wdmzv5

When President Trump activated 300 Illinois Guard members and sent 400 Texas guard members to our state, he had no lawful reason to do so. We filed a lawsuit challenging the unlawful deployment. Our case made it to #SCOTUS and we won. See how and why. #ILAGFightsFedOverreach

Pres. Trump imposed tariffs: taxes on U.S. consumers & businesses. The Constitution says only Congress has the power to tax Americans β€” not the president.

We filed a lawsuit to challenge the president’s overreach, and the case went to #SCOTUS. Check out how we got here. #ILAGFightsFedOverreach

Though #RoeVWade was overturned almost 4 years ago, my office remains dedicated to protecting reproductive freedom in Illinois. In a climate of uncertainty, this fight is not just about abortion but also health care and bodily autonomy at large.
