SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is accepting applications for instructors for 2025 summer fishing clinics at locations throughout Illinois for the department’s Urban Fishing Program. Fishing instructors are the department’s boots on the ground at free clinics hosted in communities throughout Illinois. These are temporary positions not to exceed six months, making them perfect for teachers, retirees, students, and others who are eager to help people learn about fishing skills and ecology. “Fishing is a great way for families to spend time together outdoors, and our clinics give thousands of young people an opportunity to experience the fun of fishing every summer,” said Mike McClelland, chief of fisheries for IDNR. “There’s no better way to spend the summer than teaching children and adults about the joys of fishing and the importance of conservation.” Available spots are based in Boone, Champaign, Jackson

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Despite claiming to support IVF, Senate Republicans blocked an amendment led by U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) from being included in the Senate’s budget proposal that would mirror their Right to IVF Act and help lower the costs of IVF treatment for the millions of middle-class Americans who need it to have children. This comes days after President Donald Trump signed an overly vague, toothless executive order requesting policy recommendations to ensure reliable access to IVF as Republicans continue to claim to support IVF treatment nationwide. “Senate Republicans once again had a chance to put up or shut up and prove that their self-proclaimed support for IVF is more than just lip service,” said Senator Duckworth. “Instead, they voted to block our amendment that would help lower costs for middle-class Americans who depend on it to build their families—after blocking our Right to IVF Act twice last year.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) issued the following statement after voting against Senate Republicans’ disastrous budget proposal that would fund tax cuts for billionaires—while doing nothing to help middle-class families struggling with rising costs: “In the dead of night, Senate Republicans rammed through a budget to greenlight massive tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of middle-class Americans who are struggling to get by due to rising costs. Worse yet, Republicans plan to pay for their handouts to the ultra-wealthy by putting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid on the chopping block. “Republicans’ early-hour billionaire budget comes as Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk are already illegally inflicting needless pain on the middle class by ripping away programs and funding that Americans rely on. “This vote makes it clear once again that Republicans don’t care about making government work better

CHICAGO - Attorney General Kwame Raoul today joined a coalition of 23 attorneys general in support of federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) employees who were told by the Trump administration and Elon Musk to stop working on cases investigating deceptive and abusive conduct by companies. The coalition submitted an amicus brief in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in support of CFPB workers who have helped return more than $20 billion to defrauded consumers, slashed junk fees, and stopped predatory auto and mortgage lenders. This is the second action Attorney General Raoul has taken this week to defend the CFPB. “The CFPB expanded upon the work of states and federal partners to become the primary agency setting national rules to reign in the unfair and deceptive mortgage lending and servicing that directly led to the Great Recession,” Raoul said. “My office has successfully partnered with the CFPB regularly to protect Illinois
