Today’s announcement from Stellantis is a major win for Illinois workers, our economy, and the future of American manufacturing. Bringing back the Belvidere plant and creating 3,300 good-paying jobs demonstrates the skill, dedication, and productivity of Illinois’ workforce.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers. The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

I – like Trump and RFK Jr. – do not have a medical degree. So, when questions surrounding medical treatments emerge, I listen to people who do. I get my information from doctors and public health experts – and urge you to do the same.

After two long years being held captive by Hamas, the 20 living Israeli hostages were released and are finally home. There’s still much work that remains to ensure lasting peace but the hostage release and ceasefire serve as critical steps toward closure and hope for the future.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.
