The governor, who bought his nearby rental, reportedly signed more irrelevant legislation given the continuing inaccessibility of menstrual products via Electronic Benefit Transfer as promised especially since antipsychotics remain legal despite new screening measures for tardive dyskinesia and "cut[ting] the program giving non-citizen adults healthcare."

Statement from Precious [07/03/25]:

"I'm writing this statement to describe my trip to Oak st. Beach on July 2, 2025 around 9 pm. It was my first day visiting Chicago & I had actually just got to the city the beach was my first stop. I walked from my hotel to the beach and everything was going fine until it was time to pass through the tunnel. I saw three police officers standing there, and I was walking through by myself. In the process, one of the officers asked if I have alcohol, which I didn't. He then proceeds to say he has to check my bag anyway and it's see-through. He grabs from my bag as another officer grabs for my bag. They start digging through my items, pulling everything out then when they weren't satisfied with what they found, they just joked it off. I just felt racially profiled because I was the only one who got searched while I was walking there were other people around me walking to the beach as well. It just seems like an aggressive approach to a tourist who's coming to visit the beach for the first time. The bag was see-through. I don't understand what the purpose was of taking all my items out. In front of everybody I didn't commit a crime nor was I suspected of committing a crime. I wanted to tell them not to search my bag, but I'm not from there so I didn't know what would happen if I refused."
