Since Hamas launched a terror attack on Israel over two and a half years ago, and the war in Gaza began, far too many mothers, Palestinian and Israeli, have lost children. This is one mother’s story. cbsn.ws/3QPGAkk

Ensuring state employees retire with dignity, while balancing fiscal responsibility for taxpayers, will always be a priority of mine. I passed HB 5196, which extends the Pension Buyout Program. (1/2)
Hidden fees are driving up costs of everyday purchases for families.
The price you see should be the price you pay.
That’s why last week, Illinois House Democrats passed Representative @bobmorganil.bsky.social’s Junk Fee Ban Act, to protect consumers and level the playing field for businesses.
Let us recommit ourselves to standing against antisemitism and hatred in all its forms - especially as it persists today.
May we never forget, and hold their memories as a blessing. (2/2)
Yom HaShoah - beginning at sundown tonight we pause to remember Holocaust Remembrance Day. Take a moment to remember the millions murdered for how they pray, who they love, and the color of their skin. (1/2)
The bill requires businesses to clearly display the full price of products or services upfront, and sponsors said the price you see should be the price you pay.
I passed the Junk Fee Ban Act out of the Illinois House.
At a time when families are being squeezed from every direction, hidden fees are making it harder to afford everyday purchases.
This bill is simple: the price you see should be the price you pay. (1/2)
NO KINGS in Highland Park, NO KINGS in America!!!

1/ Is the price you see the price you pay?
Junk fees make it harder for consumers to know what they are paying—and often don’t show up until the last possible moment. 🧵👇🏼

So far, this program has already cut billions in pension liabilities, proof that smart, responsible reforms can deliver results. I will be moving this bill forward to the House floor for a vote as we continue working toward a more fiscally responsible state. (2/3)
My bill HB5196 passed out of the Personnel & Pensions Committee with unanimous, bipartisan support. This legislation extends the highly successful COLA Buyout Program, helping reduce its long-term pension debt while delivering real, immediate savings for taxpayers. (1/3)
An honor of a lifetime to continue to be your Illinois State Representative for the 58th District (I know, being uncontested is anticlimactic, but I’m no less honored!).
Congrats to all who won last night, and thanks to all who threw their name in the ring to better our world💪.
Get out there and VOTE!! Democracy is on the line folks, make sure you do your part🗳️
Another horrific reminder of why IL has invested over $50mil in non-profit security grants to protect our religious institutions.
Praying for no injuries, and for a time when attacks on our synagogues, mosques and churches are a thing of the past.

Good riddance, Noem. ✌️
Her and her agency have caused immeasurable harm to Illinois communities, and must still be held accountable in a court of law for their actions.
In moments like this I wish we had a functioning & independent Congress.
May G-d protect our troops, and give us the wisdom to both protect innocent Iranians and bring swift justice to the murderous Khamenei regime.
Illinois is one of the few states in the middle of the country that protects the right to comprehensive reproductive healthcare.
Supporting care here means supporting access for people who have nowhere else to turn.
Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I pause to remember my great-grandparents, Salomon “Sally” Hartog and Jetchen Hartog, who were murdered by the Nazi’s. (1/4)🧵

BREAKING: Israel confirmed it is currently searching for the remains of Ran Gvili, the last hostage held by Hamas and the PIJ in northern Gaza.
Ran Gvili was killed and kidnapped on October 7 after heroically saving countless lives in Kibbutz Alumim.
How many more innocent Americans have to be murdered by ICE to fulfill the strongman fever dreams of our President?
I worked hard to elect @kamalaharris.com in 2020 and 2024, and I am disgusted to hear of the antisemitic “dual loyalty” questions asked of @joshshapiropa.bsky.social during his VP vetting.
VP Harris should immediately address this with an apology, and make sure this never happens again, DNC.

This guy 👇 wants to deny pre-existing conditions, but send you $100 in Trump Bucks while your healthcare costs tens of thousands.
I’m not kidding - my 3rd grader could have come up with a better “Great Healthcare Plan.”
Sit this one out, man.
This is why Illinois should ban AI from denying your health insurance claims👇
AI offers tremendous potential in healthcare - but AI denying access to medicine, surgeries or prescriptions should be taken off the table.
