SPRINGFIELD — Today, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) announced that she is a cosponsor of the Feed Our Families Act, the Aviation Funding Stability Act, and the Fair Pay for Federal Contractors Act to support families and federal workers during the government shutdown. “Federal workers and families in my district shouldn’t be paying the price for Republicans’ refusal to make a deal to reopen the government and save healthcare,” said Congresswoman Budzinski. “That’s why I’ve cosponsored legislation to help protect the services and programs that folks rely on during this shutdown, as well as ensure that federal contractors - like food service and janitorial workers - receive fair backpay to make up for their lost wages and benefits.” The Feed Our Families Act would appropriate three months of funding into the SNAP reserve fund so that families do not lose access to nutrition benefits during the lapse of government funding.

CHICAGO – Attorney General Kwame Raoul today announced that after he led a coalition of 20 attorneys general in filing a multistate lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the DOJ has now dropped its plan to impose illegal conditions on nearly $1.4 billion in Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grants. Earlier this year, the Trump administration, disregarding the clear letter of the law and intent of Congress, declared that states would be unable to access VOCA funds unless they agreed to the administration’s demands that states assist in federal immigration enforcement. VOCA funds are used to support victims and survivors of crimes and are not related to immigration enforcement. “This is a win for survivors of violent crimes who rely upon this funding for programs that help them recover from the physical and emotional trauma they have endured,” Raoul said. “These funds have no relationship to civil immigration policy, and the Trump administration’s

SPRINGFIELD - Upon learning through media sources that Secretary Kristi Noem is visiting Illinois, Governor JB Pritzker released the following statement. “Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities. “Secretary Noem should no longer be able to step foot inside the State of Illinois without any form of public accountability. Last time when the secretary was here, she snuck in during the early morning to film social media videos and fled before sunrise. It's been nearly 45 days since Secretary Noem has held an official press conference, so it’s time she faces the public and takes questions from the press to be held accountable for the Trump Administration’s gross misconduct. “Illinois is not a photo opportunity or warzone, it’s a

Did you know that the average homeowner spends over $300 on outdoor decorations each fall, yet many end up with items they rarely use again? Transforming your porch into a warm and inviting autumnal retreat doesn’t have to break the bank or result in clutter. With a little creativity and resourcefulness, you can achieve a stylish and cozy look that welcomes guests and reflects the spirit of the season. Embrace Natural Elements from Your Surroundings One of the most cost-effective ways to decorate your porch is by using what nature offers. Leaves, pine cones, branches, and pumpkins are all readily available and free or inexpensive.

Use sturdy branches to create a rustic frame for your porch or to build a simple wreath. Incorporate pine cones and acorns: These small treasures can be placed in mason jars, mixed with fairy lights, or glued onto wreaths and garlands
