The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority.
There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the @IL_Natl_Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

The specter of #stagflation—a toxic mix of stagnating growth and rising inflation—has been haunting economies again. Once considered a relic of the 1970s, stagflation’s resurgence demands a fresh look at economic management. weforum.org/stories/2025/03/…

If you’re in your 40s or 60s and suddenly feel older, it might not be all in your head. Scientists suggest we age in “waves” at certain points of our lives. on.wsj.com/4cU5y7N on.wsj.com/4cU5y7N

The NYPD flagrantly violated the press freedom rights of these journalists (and many others). Good to see a modicum of accountability, and we hope there's more to come.
