Democratic Party of Illinois

At midnight, nearly 2 million Illinoisans could lose food assistance.

Republicans are holding SNAP hostage while families struggle to afford groceries.

They’re using hunger as leverage.

Let’s share ways to help: feedingillinois.org/food-resources-illinois

While Republicans cause chaos and hurt the economy, Illinois Democrats are keeping things steady. Ten credit upgrades mean lower costs, stronger schools, and a steadier economy for working families.

This is what real leadership looks like.

While the GOP is fine with kids going hungry, @govpritzker.illinois.gov directs millions to help keep food on families' tables.

Kristi Noem came to our border to talk tough about Illinois from the safety of Indiana. If she’s so proud of what she’s doing, she can come here and face the communities she’s terrorizing.

By the end of this week, thousands of Illinois families could lose access to SNAP because of the Republican shutdown.

Here’s what that means for our communities ⬇️

Illinois residents to see 78% average cost increase for Affordable Care Act exchange plans if subsidies expire Illinois residents to see 78% average increase in cost of Affordable Care Act exchange plans, if Congress allows subsidies to expire

Republicans are making Illinois families pay the price for their shutdown.

Health care premiums will jump from 260 to 464 dollars a month.

While Republicans play politics, Democrats are fighting to keep health care affordable and protect working families.

Happy Filing Day Illinois!

There are no words for such loss. Our hearts are with the Bailey family.

It’s hard not to feel discouraged right now, but that’s what Trump and Republicans are counting on.

Every voice, every protest, and every act of courage proves them wrong.

Keep speaking out, standing up, and showing up for each other.

That is how we’re going to beat this.

Nearly 2 million Illinoisians set to lose SNAP benefits amid congressional stalemate Article Summary About 1.9 million people in Illinois are set to lose Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits beginning Nov. 1

🚨 1.9M Illinoisans will lose their SNAP benefits on Nov. 1 because Republicans WON'T DO THEIR JOBS.

Chair Hernandez: “Somehow, they can find the money to pay the ICE agents who have terrorized our communities, but not to keep food on our kids’ tables.”

Healthcare costs are out of control in America and Republican policies are going to make them rise even higher. If they let the ACA tax credits expire, a 60-year-old couple in IL-13 making $85,000 a year will see their health insurance costs increase by $24,861 per year.

I've delivered on the promises to help Illinois families through the Birth Equity initiative, and I'll do the exact same when I get to Washington. Thank you @illinoisdems.bsky.social for facilitating these vital conversations.

As part of our Statewide Listening Tour, we brought together South Side Chicago community members, organizers, and leaders for a community salon town hall to uplift the voices of Black women.

The cost of health insurance is about to spike across America.

Democrats are ready to negotiate and prevent these increases, but Republicans would rather pretend that nothing is wrong.

🚨 DAY 9 OF THE GOP GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN 🚨

Rep. Darin LaHood helped Trump and congressional Republicans shut down the government.

Premiums in his district will rise 44% — an extra $1,010 every year.

He stood with Trump’s billionaire tax breaks instead of working families in Illinois.
