Expect some fireworks on the House floor this afternoon as @HouseDemsIL plan to run resolutions condemning President Trump for his January 6 pardons, his now-blocked exec order freezing federal grant spending, his efforts to undermine DEI initiatives and his immigration actions:

[Brenden Moore @brendenmoore13]

Rep. Gregg Johnson, D-East Moline, to me: "Donald Trump is a person who, quite frankly, has never had to want for anything. And him taking things away from people who are having to want just to get from day-to-day, it’s a pretty rich concept for me.”

More Illinois react ⬇️

As our state’s first Black Speaker of the House, Emanuel “Chris” Welch is adding to Illinois’ Black history. In 2021, more than 140 years after John W.E. Thomas became the first African-American to serve in the Illinois House-diversity is our strength, unity is our super power.

John W.E. Thomas: Thomas was the first African American to be elected as a state representative to the Illinois House in 1876. A notable leader in the African-American community, Thomas successfully passed the state’s first civil rights legislation and election reform.

Black History Month is an opportunity to celebrate changemakers, pioneers, activists, and creators. Every day we must remember those who have overcome adversity, recognize the obstacles that still hold people back, and support those who are continuing to work toward equality.

Illinois faces a shortage of DNR Conservation Police, making the state less safe and less environmentally friendly
This legislation helps by bringing the hiring standard for IDNR in line with existing standards for Illinois State Police.
