Grateful to be delivering my seventh State of the State and Budget Address today. For 207 years, Illinois governors have stood before the General Assembly to do what our first constitution mandated with messages reflecting the unique times they've served. Tune in at 12 PM CT.

Donald Trump's administration with a Republican Congress and Elon Musk intends to take our essential programs away. Let me be clear, that's going to affect your daily lives. Our state budget can't make up for the damage that's done if they succeed.

It's traditions like today that bring together all our branches of government to stand in respect of each other - that underpins the guardrails of our democracy. The only power that the Constitution truly recognizes is power that's capable of humbling itself before our people.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

BREAKING: Massive protest rallies are happening today across the country, blasting DOGE and the guy that nobody voted for. There will even be a protest at SpaceX headquarters. SPREAD THE WORD. 🙏💪

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

The days ahead will be tough, I won't lie to you. But we're Illinois — we're strong, we hang together, and we will win.

Republicans just pushed a bill that spreads lies about abortions, criminalizes doctors using their best medical judgment to treat patients in need, and strips families' ability to decide how to act in situations where a baby won't survive long outside the womb. (1/2)

Thank you, Cardinal Cupich.

57% of all forest land in California is under federal jurisdiction, including the #HughesFire burning in the Angeles National Forest. We're offering mutual aid and support to the federal government to help contain the blaze and we are deeply grateful for the crews keeping our communities safe.

Our new episode with our report on @officialbruce.bsky.social playing at the 25th annual Light Of Day Foundation bash in Red Bank, NJ is now out on all major platforms. Bruce played one song each with Jesse Malin and Willie Nile and then a full 60 minute set with Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers.

Crews are working right now to guard against possible debris flows and mudslides in Southern California. These winter storm events are even more destructive over wildfire-scarred terrain.

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM. I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

I've got your back, Illinois. It's more than talk, it's about action — and here in our state, we're delivering. We've passed balanced budgets, invested in our workforce, rebuilt infrastructure, lowered the cost of education, and put money back in your pockets where it belongs.

BREAKING: Today, the Wisconsin DOJ and I are joining a coalition of states challenging an unconstitutional executive order issued yesterday that seeks to end citizenship for certain kids born in America. My statement ⬇️

House Republicans are celebrating pardons issued to a bloodthirsty mob that violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021. What happened to backing the Blue? Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder. Don’t ever lecture America again. About anything.
