ICYMI: Illinois is the first state in the country to mandate public schools offer mental screenings. Next school year, they’ll be required to be offered to grades 3-12 so long as the state has a free tool.

What’s the end goal? Our position is that it’s to engage follow up services via BEACON/Google Cloud when you consent to your child having a state controlled file. The cloud uses human centered AI.

And you were worried about chromebooks?

Imagine 6 state agencies having control over your child’s mental health screening data.

Our model policy maintains opt in ONLY policy.

Adcock: The Tribune Calls Pritzker Moderate – I Paid the Difference https://t.co/JjCqRfbSxh

[Awake Illinois @Awake_IL]

The Chicago Tribune calls Pritzker “moderate.”

Illinois families know the reality: we’re drowning in property taxes funding the nation’s worst pensions.

Economy and taxes are the #1 voter concern. Everything else is noise.
November 3rd — vote like your property tax bill depends on it.

The @chicagotribune: Pritzker is moderate.

Illinois families: We’re drowning in property taxes funding the nation’s worst pensions.

Economy and taxes are the top voter concern.

On Election Day Nov 3rd, vote like it.

Weitzel, “The @chicagotribune is an arm of the fake ‘criminal justice reform’ movement, really just activism dressed up as a newspaper, certainly not a fair-minded journalist. I'm sure @CWBChicago did their due diligence; wait and see.” @Awake_IL @John_Kass @MorningAnswer

Stratton mentioned Trump countless times this evening.

We didn't hear "Illinois families" from her once.

The FBI has announced that reputed Chicago gang member Joseph “Troubles” Matos has been added to the”Ten Most Wanted” lust for the 2021 murder of an Illinois National Guardsman. A reward for his capture now stands at $1 million.

I stand in truth and will not be silenced. Thank you @Shannon_A_IL @Awake_IL @AjayGuptaTweets @marsha_mcclary @Moms4Liberty_IL @MarkAVargas who have stood shoulder to shoulder with me since day 1.

[Awake Illinois @Awake_IL]

Spot on. Well said @MarkAVargas.

[Shannon Adcock 🇺🇸 @Shannon_A_IL]

Thanks to @MarkAVargas for keeping the spotlight on parental rights and Title IX here in Illinois.

He’s referring to my friend @georgas_ni80016 and her courageous effort to protect her 6th grade daughter who was expected to change in a @DPS109 locker room with a male classmate. The admin at the school punished the girls for “bullying” him for recognizing him as a male.

Federal complaints to the @CivilRights and a federal lawsuit are pending.

[Awake Illinois @Awake_IL]

Facts.

Dirty, dirty cheats.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Cook County put voting booths inside high schools, let teenagers run them, and then tried to keep Republican poll watchers out.

I'm not spinning this. Cook County GOP Deputy Chair T.J. Brown says the clerk's office told Republicans on Oct. 14 that their poll watchers could not go inside the school sites. The office flipped only after the Illinois GOP's lawyer called.

By the time Republicans got the full school list, some sites had already finished voting with no GOP watchers in the building.

Only students and staff could vote at these sites. Student election judges checked people in and handled the ballots.

Now the part that stinks. District 214 is in the program while its neighbors are not, and District 214 has a $295 million bond referendum on the Nov. 3 ballot.

The corporate press covered this as a feel-good "Teen Takeover for Democracy." Not one of them asked why observers got the door slammed in their face.

Election law doesn't stop at the school door. Open it up or shut it down.

THE face of the Illinois Republican Party right here!

They said we couldn’t. Then we DID.

We launched this campaign as outsiders, without the advantages of an established political machine. We started with a vision, a willingness to work, and a determination to show up even when the odds seemed overwhelming.

Since then, we have knocked on doors, traveled across this district, built relationships, raised grassroots support, and reached people who had never heard from a congressional candidate before.

I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together.

This campaign has tested my faith, my endurance, and my commitment. But it has also reminded me why I stepped forward in the first place.

I believe deeply in the future of Illinois’ 1st Congressional District. I believe our communities have tremendous potential, and I want to help restore opportunity, strengthen families, improve public safety, and bring greater accountability to government.

I believe we can win on November 3. But I also recognize that the decision belongs to the voters.

Thank you to every volunteer, donor, supporter, and family member who has poured their time, energy, and heart into this campaign.

They said we couldn’t. We proved we could.

And our story is still being written.

Nothing has changed. The Democratic Party wants to feel fear if you make a choice for YOURSELF.

It’s the same party. Their way or the highway.

I’d never vote Dem again.

If you see something when voting, say something.
Call the Illinois Board of Elections immediately.

Springfield: [phone]
Chicago: [phone]

And tell the poll workers and watchers that you have a concern and complaint. Send to us and we will tag @illinoissbe.

HOLY CR*P 🚨 American went to vote in Illinois, she says when selecting the conservative candidate the screen displays a message that says “people are not typically choosing this person, exclamation mark”

“I picked the Republican judges and once I selected one of the judges, I got a notification on the bar that said, people are not typically choosing this person, exclamation mark. — So why is my ballot telling me that who I'm picking isn't the more popular choice? I have a problem with that”

I have verified this woman is in Cook County, Illinois and Cook County used Dominion Voting machines

According to the Illinois State Board of Elections’ Voting Systems Equipment Log, Dominion is listed as both the equipment vendor and support vendor for their voting machines and has their contract

It’s RIGGED

[The Chicago Thinker @ThinkerChicago]

@ElissaSlotkin The president is criticizing you because you told us and young conservatives that you wanted your political persecution to scare us out of serving our country in government. Your continued lies surrounding your remarks are truly shameful.

This is coming to America if we don’t dismantle the power structure of the nation’s largest teachers’ unions—the NEA and AFT. Their PACs and affiliated spending send 95–99% of political contributions to Democrats and progressive organizations, according to OpenSecrets and recent cycle data. Through monopoly collective-bargaining laws in most states, they wield outsized control over public schools and the millions of children trapped there by compulsory attendance statutes, shaping curriculum, policy, and priorities far beyond any genuine educational mandate.
