In the first six months of 2025, the DNC paid $20.5 million to cover post-election bills for Harris. Those expenses stem from her presidential campaign.

However, Harris is currently fundraising for the DNC to help boost their coffers and support future presidential campaigns.

Illinois is launching a new service called Pride Connect.

According to Gov. JB Pritzker, it’s a hotline that offers free legal advice and support to LGBTQIA+ individuals. He said the hotline aims to provide resources to combat discrimination and harassment, as well as facilitate access to housing and health care.

“As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we’ll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion,” he said in a social media post.

The state of Illinois invested $250,000 into the hotline and an additional $100,000 was contributed by various groups and agencies, including the Illinois Department of Human Services.
