A beautiful evening for the Maple Park Fun Fest Parade! 🇺🇸

One of my favorite parts of a parade is getting the chance to stop along the route, say hello, and visit with the families who come out to enjoy it.

Thanks to everyone in Maple Park who made it such an enjoyable evening!

Landmark Meta Settlement Could Bring New Protections for Children, Nearly $768 Million to Illinois

A proposed multistate settlement with Meta could bring stronger protections for children and teens on Facebook and Instagram, while providing Illinois nearly $768 million over the next 10 years.

The agreement includes stronger age safeguards, increased privacy protections for teens, limits on notifications and platform use, and additional tools for parents.

Parents and advocates have raised concerns for years about social media companies putting engagement and profits ahead of children’s well-being. I support efforts that put the safety and well-being of our children first and give parents more tools to protect their kids online.

✈️ Friday Fun Poll!

A father and daughter — both pilots — were preparing for separate flights at Dulles International Airport when air traffic control caught a pretty relatable father-daughter exchange.

Dad pointed out that his daughter may not live at home anymore… but she’s still on the family cell phone plan.

I can relate — my adult children are still on mine, too!

So, parents of adult kids, let’s hear it:
Are your adult children still on your cell phone plan?

👍 YES — Still on the family plan
😂 NO — They’re on their own
❤️ YES — And I’m pretty sure they’re never leaving!

Getting a prescription filled shouldn’t become a hassle simply because your pharmacy is out of stock.

A new Illinois law makes it easier to transfer certain prescriptions to another pharmacy when needed, helping patients avoid unnecessary delays in getting their medication.

A practical change that makes accessing needed prescriptions a little easier.

I first met Basic Becky (Becky Barrus) and her son Tyler at a Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce event. Since then, they’ve joined me in Springfield while Tyler interned for the day, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know them both.

Always great catching up with Becky! She’s a Huntley small business owner, a proud mom, and someone I’ve enjoyed getting to know.

Be sure to check out Anything But Basic Tees & More and support local. And I’m looking forward to hearing about Tyler’s adventures at Syracuse!

Thanks to Senator Dave Syverson for stopping by!
