[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

It's been a long time coming, but Illinois has now earned our NINTH credit rating upgrade.

Our state is back in the A's with all three agencies now — a complete turnaround from the past administration's fiscal failures.

And it means saving Illinoisans millions of dollars.

Gaining U.S. Citizenship changes lives forever. Immigrants and refugees are a vital part of our society, and we are strengthened by our diversity. As we celebrate #CitizenshipWeek, we'd like to share @repdagmara story! #twill

[Illinois Craft Brewers Guild @IllinoisBeer]

Chicago has been named the BEST BEER CITY (ahead of destinations like Denver and Portland) in a new survey by @HomeToGo, which considered number of breweries, price, and proximity to vacation rentals.

We'll raise a glass to that! 🍻

New research alert: "[M]aking sentences harsher does not reduce crime and making them more lenient does not increase crime, and prison sentences have not been shown to reduce reoffending compared to non-custodial sanctions such as probation."

It brings me exceptional pride to sign into law the declaration of Juneteenth as a formal state holiday in Illinois, making us one of the few states in the nation to give it the full status it deserves.

Begging fellow reporters to not fixate on ~wEiRd ShApEs~ this week.
Squares work in Iowa because it's a much more homogenous state with fewer mid-sized cities.
There are far more nuanced arguments **on both sides** than just district shapes.
And look! Even Iowa isn't all squares!

Here is an animated GIF of what the entire state looks like for the Illinois House redistricting maps from 2011 to the 2021 proposed maps.

Edward Guerra Kodatt will be the new State Rep for the 22nd House District, replacing former House Speaker Mike Madigan after 50 years in the Illinois House. He’s 26 and works for the Madigan-Quinn operation.

[Rep.Kam Buckner ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ @RepKamBuckner]

If you grew up like me, you were told turn off the lights when you leave a room. If you’ve gotten out of the habit, get back! If not to save money, if not to save energy, if not to save the earth; at least do it in solidarity with our friends in Texas. Don’t take it for granted.

[Greg Harris🐀+🦄 @repgregharris]

A little history made today! Illinois is divided into 59 legislative districts. As of this morning, the delegation from the 7th is 100% LGBT. First Black gay Senator @MikeSimmonsChi, first lesbian Rep. @RepKellyCassidy and me, first gay House Majority Leader.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸

[North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic @NSuburbanLegal]

Removing the term "illegal alien' from laws and other legal documents is long overdue. These words evoke prejudice and encourage racism. Words matter. Thank you, President Joe Biden. #NonCitizen #Immigration #Law

There is no time to waste when it comes to tackling the crises we face. That's why today, I am heading to the Oval Office to get right to work delivering bold action and immediate relief for American families.

@JLo’s words did more for me than the last president did. After the rapist and criminal rhetoric, hearing “libertad y justicia para todos" & seeing the representation on that stage brought me to tears.The UNITED States of America❤️#Inauguration2021 @KamalaHarris @soniamsotomayor
