Illinois has always been a place where things get made. That spirit is still very much alive today — we're home to more than 18,000 manufacturers, employing more than 650,000 people. And we're seeing more bring new tech and choose us for their next generation of manufacturing.

Illinois is always proud to host the International Manufacturing Technology Show. It's incredible to walk the floor and see new ideas being tested, partnerships being formed, and technologies changing the world right here in our state.

Illinois remains vigilant and prepared a year after Operation Midway Blitz. We will continue to defend our people's rights and protect our communities with every tool at our disposal. The most visible violence from ICE in our streets has ended, but their intentions remain.

Illinois enacted the strongest artificial intelligence safety and accountability bill in the nation. We need to take the threat that AI poses seriously, not just state by state, but on a federal level. The stakes are too high to sit around and do nothing — it’s time to act now.

Illinois woman who was “very interested” in the Lindsay Clancy trial, allegedly hanged her 2 year old child from the rafters in the basement of her $1M home. 2-year-old Barrett Walsh was found hanging with his feet off the ground. His mother, Corie Walsh, immediately told investigators she thought he was the “devil” and the “anti-Christ.” One witness says Walsh was “very interested” with the Clancy trial. Absolutely horrific. The female true crime cult has their new hero.
