As someone who wears hearing aids, I’m so grateful to @POTUS for the new FDA rule which expands access and makes them available to be sold over the counter. This will allow so many more people to get the care they need!

Millions of public sector workers have their Social Security benefits reduced or eliminated — even though they pay into the system just like others.

No American should be penalized for a career in public service.

The #SocialSecurityFairnessAct would make that a reality.

My message today is loud and clear: Since Congress is not acting on the climate emergency, I will. And in the coming weeks my Administration will begin to announce executive actions to combat this emergency.

I told you I would not be silent. Heading home from D.C. after testifying before @JudiciaryDems about a Post-Roe America. Everyone deserves the freedom to make personal decisions about their bodies, lives, and futures without political interference. We won’t go back.

This is a huge step in the fight against our stolen extreme court. Now we need Congress to Act! Until they do, America should know that Illinois will always protect the reproductive rights of women because we trust women to make their own healthcare decisions. – at Westchester, IL
Today I signed an Executive Order to protect the reproductive rights of women in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's extreme decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. It formalizes the actions I announced right after the decision and will add new measures to protect women's health.

And 100% of mass public shootings happen with guns. As Governor, on behalf of the people of Highland Park — leave us the hell alone.
Since 1950, 94% of mass public shootings occurred in gun-free zones.
