Illinois Governor JB Pritzker told @davidbegnaud that he’s “been driven my whole life to lose weight” — and two years ago, he added a new tool to that effort: A GLP-1.
First on CBS Mornings, Gov. Pritzker shared about the decision to use the medication for weight loss after being diagnosed with diabetes and why he’s directing the state’s insurance plan to cover GLP-1s for state employees.

"Five-beer Fridays are back”: For Father’s Day, some dads may just want to sit back, relax and have a few beers — but as our very own @macfarlanenews and @edokeefe found out, it can get harder to drink a beloved brew without a hangover the next day.

Thank you @nancycordes and @LeteChilds at @CBSMornings for this great coverage of just what #Medicaidexpansion means to people who have previously been forced to go w/o access to care - and what a common-sense policy move it is. Let's close the coverage gap in the last 10 states!
More than 500,000 uninsured people in North Carolina are now getting health care coverage, thanks to a bipartisanship effort years in the making.
@nancycordes spoke with officials on both sides of the aisle in the likely 2024 battleground state about how they built trust.
