White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority.

Holiday filmmakers are flocking to Chicago’s suburbs for the scenery "Christmas on the Ranch" and "Once Upon a Christmas Wish" are the latest on a long list of holiday movies recently filmed in Illinois.

Thanks to our film tax credit, soundstage program, and workforce, our state is more than ready for our close-up.
