In Illinois, we actually give a sh*t about public health. I’ll continue to do everything in my power in concert with @GovPritzker @IDPH @IL_Insurance @IllinoisDoctors @ILPharmacists to make sure vaccines are available and insured in our state.
🚨HOLY SHIT: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker just DEMOLISHED RFK JR. and announced the state will CIRCUMVENT his harmful initiatives by increasing its state funding for vaccines. This is what every Governor in America should do.

Illinois will not flinch, nor will we falter, when confronted with attacks on our healthcare system by figures like RFK Jr. Today, alongside @GovPritzker, my bill HB767 was signed into law: a first-in-the-nation measure establishing a state-based vaccine-recommending body.

This is why Illinois is following our public health experts (not the conspiracy theorists now leading the CDC’s website) on keeping you and your family safe. @lschencker @chicagotribune @IDPH @ProtectOurCare
Scientists at the CDC were left reeling after discovering that the agency had quietly rewritten long-standing vaccine language to fuel a debunked autism claim.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security closed its command center Friday afternoon at Naval Station Great Lakes in North Chicago, ending a two-month-plus stay while conducting immigration enforcement operations in the Chicago area. https://t.co/GE0Q7R3j4u

Lawmakers have passed a bill to strengthen Illinois’ ability to make its own vaccine guidelines – legislation that follows months of tumult over vaccines at the federal level. https://t.co/fVRvUO1sOa

The bill, which follows months of tumult over vaccines at the federal level, expands the authority of the Immunization Advisory Committee.

Imagine being so mad at a politician that you threaten them with lethal injection or to put their family in a wood chipper. We talk to current and former elected officials - republican and democrat - about serving in these angry times. https://t.co/sp3NCB2LpC

Politicians in Illinois have been receiving death threats and other forms of harassment, with some even receiving threats of lethal injection, due to their stances on controversial issues such as g…

Illinois is stepping up where Washington has failed to act. After Secretary Kennedy dismantled the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, I passed HB767, making Illinois the first state to create its own state-based vaccine-recommending body grounded in science, not politics.

Illinois is taking action where the federal government won’t. As the current administration dismantles key CDC guidance programs, my constituents are already feeling the effects of science-based advisory committees being torn apart. (2/3)

Yesterday, I passed HB767 out of the House, ensuring that life saving vaccines are accessible to all, and are covered by insurance without copays or deductibles, regardless of any decisions made in Washington. (1/3)

You really have to go out of your way to be this cruel.
🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will issue guidance tomorrow blocking states from wiping medical debt off credit reports — siding with Wall Street and debt collectors over patients. The move could keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans have been trying to end Obamacare for 15 years. Their recent success will cost you thousands of dollars a year in health care costs.👇 The decline in the health of the U.S. in the coming years will be severe and undeniable.
Illinois residents will pay an average of 78% more across the state for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act exchange if Congress does not extend enhanced premium tax credits, state regulators said Monday. https://t.co/HQWIi9dNoH

How incredibly humbling to have one of my heroes @GabbyGiffords join me today in support of my campaign. Gabby is the embodiment of perseverance and compassion, and has inspired an entire nation to combat political violence after her own personal tragedy.

Declaring “political opposition is not rebellion,” the federal appeals court in Chicago refused to undo a lower court's order blocking President Donald Trump from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois. Deployment is still blocked. From @Suntimes:

While President Donald Trump insists the troops are needed to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities and personnel, Illinois attorneys allege the deployment is really meant to...
