This is a monumental victory for online safety. After decades of putting profits before children, this $17B settlement requires Meta to comply with injunctive terms that make its platform safer and puts our children’s mental health at the forefront: https://t.co/mvdEL81uNF

The president’s attempt to punish states he disagrees with politically was illegal, and I'm pleased with our win in this case: https://t.co/jx2M3CPaU1

Whether virtual or physical, bullying is no joke. It can result in physical injury, social and emotional distress, self-harm, and even death. #NationalBullyingPreventionMonth is a reminder to be an upstander, not a bystander, to help stop bullying in our communities.

I thank the Gillespie Police Department, Macoupin County Sheriff’s Office and State’s Attorney Garrison for their assistance in this case. My office’s ICAC Task Force will continue to work w/ law enforcement agencies to stop individuals who exploit minors: https://t.co/ohclqDHz1w

I'm proud to join the FTC and my colleagues in moving to stop this merger between two of the country’s largest playground manufactures, which would significantly raise prices for Illinois schools and park districts in an already over-priced market: https://t.co/UzTf8VUSJT

[Illinois Attorney General @ILAttyGeneral]

Non-competition clauses illegally and unfairly lock workers into low-paying jobs and make it more difficult for law-abiding businesses to hire workers and compete fairly in the labor market. I will continue fighting to protect worker's rights: https://t.co/EwUSsJb19d

https://t.co/H4QkuzHOPA’s bankruptcy proceedings highlight the need to ensure transparency and privacy. I will continue to work across party lines to ensure AI development is responsible, transparent and protects children and user privacy: https://t.co/8BoaWAz9m5

Our waters are essential to our environment and must be protected. Instead, the Trump administration continues to threaten essential policy with proposed changes that threaten to pollute the water ways we rely on for years to come: https://t.co/YtnI3iQBzx

There is no reason children should lose access to quality early childhood education. The Trump administration’s attempt to cut the Head Start program’s standards ultimately punish innocent children who face challenges beyond their control: https://t.co/nmOb5llmMb
