Violence Against Healthcare Workers is Out of Control This week alone: 🔴 ER doc stabbed in the chest. 🔴 ICU shooter killed multiple staff. 🔴 Nurse beaten, now on ventilator. Hospitals shouldn’t be war zones. It’s STILL a crime to attack healthcare workers. Be safe out there. #EMsky #MedSky

There are many actions that our Illinois legislature can take to protect our residents from the harmful, reckless and sometimes inhumane actions of this federal government. We’re going to fight like hell to adopt all of them. 💪👊

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her. She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

1st measles death in over a decade. It bothers me to know, that a child had to die from an extremely preventable disease. Vaccinate the kids. What we are doing in this country is criminal. @drsforamerica.bsky.social apnews.com/article/meas...

Elon and Trump complained (falsely) that the USA was supplying condoms to Gaza. Maybe someone should hand Elon Musk a condom after having his 13th child with a fourth woman.

The NRA’s Eddie Eagle campaign lets gun owners off the hook by shifting responsibility onto kids. But children’s brains aren’t fully developed to resist curiosity. Safe storage is the only proven way to prevent unintentional shootings. Learn more at @endfamilyfire.org.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is definitely one of the good ones. Today he HAMMERED Trump with a detailed list of all the prices that are going up because of Trump's trade wars. Make sure everyone sees this.

7 years ago today, my friend Sam Schwartz lost his cousin to the mass shooting at Parkland. Since that moment he’s dedicated his life to the cause of common sense gun reform. Would you follow him today? I’d love to get him 5000 new followers today: bsky.app/profile/samu...
