Our budgeting process is a disaster. Last-minute bills, rushed midnight votes, thousands of pages - and not a single counter-budget from republicans. It’s not leadership, it’s surrender.

I refuse to sit on the sidelines - digging through the numbers myself and finding $5 billion in savings. Illinois families deserve accountability, honesty, and transparency.

In this episode of Jed Talks, I expose how Springfield’s “bud...

This week, I close out the DCFS intern investigation issue — after direct exchanges with the director, we’re at a stalemate. But silence isn’t an option.

Illinois families are feeling the heat, and not just from the weather. Electric bills are soaring, and it’s no accident.

In this episode, I break down what the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) actually did, how both parties voted for it, and why your power bill is the receipt for bad policy.

I explain how the MISO and PJM grid systems work, why coal and gas are vanishing faster than you think, and how solar fields...

Illinois Republicans are on the ropes - and it’s time we face the reality. In this episode, I break down why the party is stalled, what’s holding us back, and how everyday folks can spark real change. It’s not about finger-pointing - it’s about stepping up and turning the tide.

Bonus: A surprise guest appearance by my dog, Rusty 🐾 (he’s got strong opinions and zero filter).

In the very first episode of Jed Talks, I explain why I’m stepping behind the mic - and why Illinois needs a voice willing to speak plainly. Then we dive into the latest head-scratcher out of Springfield: record tax revenues … and yet, more taxes? Including a new hit on leased property, getting one of my constituents fired up, and rightfully so.
