BREAKING: The media was looking for off the cuff, powerful moments, and when President Biden delivers, they ignored it. Retweet so all Americans see this powerful clip and call the media out on their BS.
She inspires me.
Thank you, Madam Vice President
@KamalaHarris
for reminding us all to fight for the ideals we cherish as Americans—guided by optimism and faith.
Just 72 days. Let’s give it all we’ve got and we’ll finally say those 2 words: Madam President.
Women’s rights are human rights.
The people of Illinois stand in solidarity with women across the country at today’s
#WomensMarch
-- because we will never go back.
Illinois -- tonight we celebrate!
Thank you for entrusting
@JBPritzker
and me to continue the fight we’ve begun to put our state on the right track.
Friends, tonight we are a beautiful light. It is on every single one of us to keep that light going. Thank you!
JB, this week was an overwhelming success and yet another example of how Democrats deliver.
Thanks for all you do to uplift our state and build our party!
The Harris-Walz ticket is exciting!
But I’m also thrilled for my dear friend and fellow LG
@peggyflanagan
of Minnesota who could make history as the first Native American woman to serve as Governor in the US!

and you’ve got my support, Sister!
I’m from Chicago and I don’t care what Donald Trump says in that interview.
Nothing will erase his degrading remarks about Chicago and its people.
What he does need to know is that next month in Chicago we will formally nominate
@KamalaHarris
and we will beat him in November!
1st Black Lt. Governor of IL, yours truly.

#Harris2024
This morning, I was proud to be sworn in as the first African American lieutenant governor in Illinois history. I plan on working tirelessly to ensure that communities across the state have a government that will fight for them.
I was excited to meet first-time voter, Logan, on the first day of early voting in Minnesota!👏🏾
Young people are fired up to elect
@KamalaHarris
and
@Tim_Walz
and are voting early. Why? So they have more time to help get others out to vote for

What an honor to greet former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as they arrived at the United Center tonight.
In 2016, she touched that ultimate glass ceiling. Now, in 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris will shatter it to pieces!
#DNC2024
Thank you to our supporters, volunteers, organizers, and all of you who made tonight possible!
I am so honored and so blessed to represent the great state where I was born and raised.
Now let’s win this thing in November and continue this amazing journey together, Illinois!
Darren Bailey has said it time and time again: he wants to outlaw abortion, send us back to the Stone Age, and end a woman’s right to control her own body.
Illinois won’t go back. Not now, not ever.
Four years ago, Illinois had an insurmountable bill backlog and no fiscal leadership.
Four years later, we've paid off our bills, balanced four budgets, and earned six credit upgrades -- putting Illinois on the right track.
Thank you to our supporters, volunteers, organizers, and staff who made tonight possible! I’m proud of the campaign that we ran; none of this would be possible without you. I’m so excited to serve as the next Lt. Governor of Illinois!
Abortion is still safe and legal in Illinois. We won't stop fighting until every woman has access to the same rights we have here.
Today is a dark day for our country, but we will not give up.
After watching tonight’s
#ILGovDebate
, the choice couldn’t be more clear.
@JBPritzker
fights for working families every day, and Darren Bailey wants to stand in the way.
I’m proud to be on
#TeamJB
-- and I’ll be proud to stand with him come November when we keep Illinois BLUE!

When Darren Bailey tells you he cares about the “sanctity of life,” don’t believe it. What he really believes in is control over what a woman can or can’t do with her own body.
And in 16 days we’re going to send him a resounding message: in Illinois, we trust women.
This is your reminder that under
@JBPritzker
’s leadership, the state’s rape kit, Medicaid, FOID card, and bill backlogs have all been eliminated.
That’s good governance -- case closed.
In case you forgot: Illinois Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility AND stability.
We now pay our bills on time, received six credit rating upgrades, and saved up for the future with our Rainy Day Fund.
In case you were wondering, the Illinois delegation is a bunch of “joyful warriors” who can’t wait to welcome 50,000 visitors to Chicago for

JB and I had so much fun thanking them for their service—they’re fired up and ready to go!
Over the past few weeks the whole country got to see what we in Illinois see every day:
@JBPritzker
is an extraordinary leader who cares deeply about the people of Illinois and does everything he can to make their lives better.
I’m proud of you, my friend!
This is a Coach Dawn Staley appreciation post!
Grace under pressure.
Brings out the best in her players.
And just plain cool.
Congratulations on your championship, Coach! And what a way to build a bench!
This moment was so beautiful me.

We proudly say gay.
We protect trans youth.
And we boldly proclaim that Black Trans Lives Matter.
And if your Governor and Lt. Governor won’t say the same, we welcome you with open arms to the great state of Illinois! 👏🏾
You all remember this race?! 😬
8 years ago today I woke up as the newly elected State Representative for Illinois’ 5th District. Wow, time flies when you’re having fun!
Today was a dark day for our democracy. I don’t blame you if you felt a bit weary taking it all in.
So get some rest.
Because tomorrow and every day through Nov 5th we must mobilize and get everyone in our sphere of influence to vote.
We have no other choice. It’s up to us.
Over the past four years, it’s undeniable that
@JBPritzker
has been a leader for our state.
But Darren Bailey would take us so far backward -- he’s out of touch on women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, workers’ rights and so much more.
We can’t let Bailey win.
The choice in this election couldn't be more clear after the
#ILGovDebate

@JBPritzker
is fighting for working families every single day, and Darren Bailey is working to divide us.
I’m proud to stand with the very best governor in the nation now and in November.

They are ready and we can’t wait to welcome you to Chicago!

Just a good, decent man and a true servant-leader. Thank you, President
@joebiden
, for 50 years of dedicated and compassionate service to our country.🇺🇸
Black History is American History.
Black History is Illinoisan History.
Black History is still being made.
I am so proud to serve as Illinois' first Black Lt. Governor and I know that together, we have more history to make.

My voice is GONE! But thank you

for leading us right into my season, Virgo season! 🙌🏾
And no, this ain’t Texas…because here in Illinois, we trust women!
I am proud to receive
@emilyslist
’s endorsement for Lieutenant Governor of Illinois! I share their passion for electing pro-choice Democratic women to offices across Illinois and the country. Let’s get to work!
Let’s be clear about who Darren Bailey is.
He doesn’t believe a woman should be able to control her own body.
He doesn’t believe in the sanctity of life.
And he sure as hell doesn't believe in trusting women.
On this day five years ago, I joined
@JBPritzker
in the fight to get big things done for Illinois as his partner and running mate.
We will win this fight again because we see the power that is not just within each other, but within us together.
So blessed to make it another year! This birthday, I’m grateful for the gift of amazing parents, mentors, and teachers who taught me early on that my voice is powerful and that

.
Tonight’s
#ILGovDebate
will make clear that Darren Bailey doesn’t share the values Illinois working families have or care about what they need.
@JBPritzker
and I are working to bring our state together -- I know that there's no limit to what we'll accomplish for Illinoisans.
Caregiving for my mother was one of the greatest joys of my life -- it was also incredibly stressful. I know that so many people, especially women, work tirelessly day in and day out, but go unseen.
So today on
#NationalCaregiversDay
, take time to
#ThankACaregiver
in your life.
Four years of balanced budgets. Four years of eliminating backlogs. Four years of good governance.
And the next four years will be the same with
@JBPritzker
leading the way.
Unearthed video: JD Vance attacks women “who can't have kids” because they “passed the biological period when it was possible” as “miserable” people who “have no real value system” and struggle to find “meaning”
To the thousands and thousands of people across this state who knocked on doors and made phone calls, who shared ideas and shaped our policies, who gave their time, their energy, and their passion to this campaign, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Darren Bailey’s been clear on how he views our state’s progress.
He doesn’t believe in workers’ rights. He doesn’t believe in women’s rights. He doesn’t even believe in a state minimum wage.
He must be defeated in November.
BREAKING: CNN is now reporting that over 140 Project 2025 workers were at one point employed by the Trump White House or campaign. The cat is out of the bag. A Donald Trump Presidency would mean the implementation of Project 2025 and the end of our democracy as we know it.
Four years ago,
@JBPritzker
and I were determined to put Springfield back on the side of working families.
Four years later, we’re more energized than ever to continue the fight!
Tonight, Secretary of State
@HillaryClinton
joined
@JBPritzker
and me at a discussion with high school students in Chicago. JB and I will work every day to support organizations that promote women in leadership across Illinois!
I started my morning knocking on doors supporting
@NabeelaforIL
, a trailblazer in her district ready to build upon the work we’ve done to lower health care costs and defend women’s rights.
Together, we'll continue the work to put Illinois on the side of working families.
First, they’re coming for the right to choose, then it's marriage equality, then it’s protections for minority communities.
In Illinois, we will fight back. Every day.
Our first election made history. The significance of my inauguration has never been lost on me.
200 years after IL became a state - with the DNA of my formerly enslaved great-great-grandfather in my genetic makeup - I'm so proud to serve as our state's first Black Lt. Governor.
Thank you to every single supporter, organizer, staff member, and volunteer - I’m so proud of how hard we’ve all worked and JB and I can’t wait to bring this energy and this excitement all the way Springfield!
I'm furious and disappointed at the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
It was for this very devastating reality we wrote reproductive freedoms like abortion into state law.
We'll fight to ensure Illinois remains a safe haven for women and families everywhere.
Can you believe?! Thank you,
@KaramoBrown
for coming out to last night’s debate and cheering on
@JBPritzker
with us! You and the rest of the Fab Five are welcome to come out on the campaign trail with
#TeamJB
anytime. 😉
At last night's
#ILGovDebate
, Darren Bailey made his anti-worker agenda clear.
He doesn't support the minimum wage, he doesn't support equal pay for equal work, and he doesn't support our unions.
Democrats created jobs.
Democrats raised the minimum wage.
Democrats rebuilt Illinois.
Democrats stood up for women.
We’re not going to let that Trump-endorsed, MAGA extremist get in our way this November.
Afterwards, I was proud to use my voice and vote for a better future for all Illinoisans. The rights of women across the country are on the line – make sure you’re ready to cast your ballot.
