Not only did federal goons show up to try and intimidate our governor, they did so on hallowed ground. Gov. Newsom was speaking at the Democracy Center at the Japanese American National Museum, which I helped found so we do not repeat the horrors and injustices of the past. Shameful.

Today, I’m signing a package of legislation that protects Illinois workers from the Trump administration’s assault on labor. We're restoring the hard-fought protections that Trump and Congress are trying to destroy — it means he can't take these rights away from our workforce.

Governor Pritzker in front of signs that say 'Unions for Pritzker, Thank you JB!, and JB Means Jobs Governor JB Pritzker joined state legislators, labor leaders, and union members to sign a bill package protecting Illinois workers and supporting organized labor. Governor Pritzker speaks at the podium. Signs that read 'JB Means Jobs' and 'Thank you JB!'
