Starting tomorrow, Illinoisans can apply for assistance with their energy bills. No working family should have to decide between heating their home or putting food on the table. We're making life more affordable for those struggling with rising monthly costs like utilities.

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

Reliability and affordability should come before the interests of utilities and power generators. I'm calling on PJM to be more transparent and accountable to the people it serves. Illinoisans shouldn't have to worry about whether the power will stay on during severe weather.

One of the easiest ban calls in sports. Enes leaves no doubt he opposes and seeks to undermine the very idea of the WNBA. If just words, maybe ignore, but he came to an arena and harassed players. Should be league-wide. That’s on the commissioner. Don’t leave players and the Sky standing alone.

Donald Trump’s decision to flood our grocery stores with foreign-raised beef is another hit to Illinois farmers — it will kill jobs and destroy rural communities here. He needs to reverse course immediately. For those who stand with him, it’s time to rein him in and fix this.

This week, I've signed into law legislation designed to create safeguards against domestic and sexual violence — making us more prepared to stop it before it happens and step in upon its discovery.
Governor Pritzker signs into law legislation closing a legal loophole between emergency and final orders of protection, creating safeguards for those at the highest risk of being seriously injured or killed by an intimate partner, and expanding access to sexual assault nurse examiners with telehealth options.
