Replying to @GovPritzker
@GovPritzker, didn’t you lower standards in our schools?
Illinois will not abandon our pursuit of academic excellence just because the federal government refuses to recognize it. To our students and teachers: we believe in your potential, celebrate your achievements, and will keep showing up for you. dailyherald.com/20261020/edu…

How come Pritzker can’t get a handle on the state’s food stamp error payment rates?
NEW Illinois food stamp enrollment has fallen to a 13-year low of 1.44 million residents. However, the state's 14.67% state payment error rate, which is driven overwhelmingly by overpayments, means that taxpayers now face a looming $500 million federal penalty. The state’s administrative budget for the program has ballooned to over $100 million.

The governor and mayor keep telling us crime is down on CTA. #ChicagoSOS🙏
CHICAGO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS GETTING OUT OF HAND! Two men threw fireworks at a woman before one of them turned violent and attacked her. How is anyone supposed to feel safe riding the CTA when things like this happen?

There is a war on preborn babies being waged by the enemies of God. Do not be deceived by the "victim" narrative; these abortion cheerleaders are intentionally advocating for the shedding of innocent blood. (Pro. 6:17)

🚨#BREAKING: IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN!!!!! A mother in Queens has been arrested after she allegedly SUFFOCATED HER 5-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO DE*TH. Her name was Fabiana Cabello, she was 5 years old and about to start KINDERGARTEN. On Wednesday, just before 7 p.m., police say her mother, 32-year-old Francis Cabello, called 911 saying, "I k*lled my daughter." Upstairs, in a bedroom, they found little 5 year old Fabiana unconscious with a bruise on her temple. Officers RAN her out of the house and rushed her to Jamaica Hospital. She didn’t make it. The medical examiner found scrapes and BROKEN BLOOD VESSELS around her eyes, her heart and her lungs that suggest asphyxia. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MOTHERS K*LLING THEIR CHILDREN?!!!!!

The Democratic Party of Illinois need voters to believe the lies about Republican candidates! They have nothing but failures, no gains. We are at the bottom of every good list and at the top of every bad list! TrussellForIllinois.com

I'm shocked anyone who is pro-life would denigrate the White Rose Resistance, who are HEROES in the movement. We should be able to have differences with one another without this kind of attack. I'm very grieved to see it. @SGruber91 is a friend and an American hero.
Kristan Hawkins continues her weekly attack against me and @whiterose_life She is libelous and deceitful! We have never called for the death penalty for the small handful of women who will have abortions after it is criminalized. The Supreme Court has ruled that an automatic death penalty for any homicide charge is itself unconstitutional (see Woodson v. North Carolina, 1976). We have simply demanded that legislators treat abortion like infanticide. We are mobilizing the Church to pressure legislators to give unborn babies the same protections that infants have. Kristan isn’t stupid. She was in the movement before I had a 5’oclock shadow. She knows this. She is simply scared and her organization threatened because Christians are realizing she and her friends have ZERO plan to end abortion and her donors are leaving her to support organizations willing to put in the political sweat work to fully protect the smallest children. Ask Kristan how she plans to protect the 700,000 babies being murdered every 12 months via the pill while simultaneously insisting aborting mothers should receive zero consequences for killing their child, all while @StudentsforLife opposes legislation that would protect such children? If you don’t like her answer, we at @whiterose_life and @WRAction will put your money to good use as we work to criminalize abortion state by state and put ourselves out of a job!! Further up and further in! SDG!

DOJ is suing California after flagging more than 20K registered voters as likely noncitizens. These allegations demand careful verification. #Illinois voters deserve the same scrutiny of our voter rolls. Election integrity matters! theepochtimes.com/us/doj-sue…

SCAM ALERT! This is just gross gaslighting of Illinois' working-class families. Since 2019, he's raised state taxes and fees on working families 71 times, totaling over $90B in new taxes. 10 tax hikes this year and next. pritzker-tax-meter.bmcosti.c…

This is a stupid lie, @JBPritzker. @DarrenBaileyIL was in the legislature when they passed the data center tax incentive bill - SB 690. Bailey voted no. JB Pritzker signed it into law. Pritzker removed his Press Release from his website, but I found it elsewhere. ilga.gov/Documents/legislati…
.@DarrenBaileyIL: 💻 opposed @JBPritzker stopping data center tax incentives 💻 said he has “no problem” w/ data centers 💻 claimed we "have to have data centers" It's clear where Darren stands.

Pritzker has never passed a budget without tax hikes. 71 tax hikes in 8 years. Pension debt up $12B. How could the budget be balanced? Biggest spending growth in the nation at 112% over the first 6 years. Worst bond rating in the nation for 13 consecutive years. Highest combined state and local taxes in the nation. Worst fiscal instability in the nation. $170B in new taxes since 2017. $90B in new taxes since 2019, enacted by Pritzker. Real wage growth: -2.4%. Slowest GDP growth of any big state. Highest unemployment in the Midwest. We are going the wrong way quickly.
12 consecutive credit-rating upgrades, 8 balanced budgets, reduced debt, no bill backlog, and a growing Rainy Day Fund. We're in our strongest financial position in decades — and it's all for the people of Illinois.

If you don’t believe that Preborn little babies should receive the same legal protections against being killed that infants already have, you don’t actually want to end abortion and you’re tacitly endorsing a pro-choice position: that unborn babies aren’t persons like you and I.

I will be watching and live-tweeting the Pritzker-Bailey debate tonight. Predictions: I hope they cover all these issues, but I'm guessing they'll cover only 3, and the questions will be heavily slanted in Pritzker's favor. The crime in Chicago question will be asked in a way that highlights decreasing murders and violent crimes, but not in a way that compares Illinois and Chicago to other states and cities. The property tax issue will be framed so it gets obscured by other cost-of-living issues, and Pritzker will respond by talking about tariffs and the War in Iran. A question will highlight our improved credit rating but not address that we've raised taxes on our citizens by $170B since 2017 to do it, and we're still the worst in the nation for 13 consecutive years. The longest streak in American history. Other predictions. Pritzker will blame everything wrong with Illinois on Trump and Rauner. Pritzker will mention grocery tax "relief", earned income and child tax credits while neglecting to mention he raised grocery taxes on 2/3 of Illinois on August 1st and that he's raised 71 taxes for over $90B in new taxes on working-class people in Illinois. An abortion question will be asked, but not in relation to Pritzker repealing the partial birth abortion ban, but rather how "radical" Bailey's position is. There will be a question about the Bears, and the answers will make all the headlines tomorrow. Pritzker will say something about protecting taxpayers, and the bill he eventually supports will offer little to no taxpayer protection for anyone other than the Bears. There won't be questions about School Choice, Fiscal Transparency, our highest combined state and local tax rates, or how much money Pritzker has contributed to politics. They'll ask about ICE, Trump, and Federal Government issues that have little or nothing to do with being Governor of Illinois. Pritzker won't be challenged on virtually any of his falsehoods or omissions, and Bailey will be repeatedly. Final prediction: Pritzker won't be asked about running for President, even though he was unofficially campaigning for president in South Carolina a little over 24 hours ago.

Is The Failing Obama Library About To Get A Government Bailout? Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich predicts Democrats could quietly sneak funding into a congressional appropriations bill if they regain control of the House. The Obama Presidential Center is already facing major issues: -Costs are at $1 BILLION, over triple the original $300 million budget. -A $40 million discrimination lawsuit. -Multiple construction contractors have filed lawsuits alleging millions in unpaid bills. -Current employees are revolting and threatening to unionize over pay, benefits and working conditions. -Declining revenue and concerns over mounting expenses. Could U.S. taxpayers be forced to foot the bill? This is insane @realBlagojevich

BOMBSHELL: Former Illinois Governor just revealed there are DAMNING FBI Tapes of JB Pritzker that could END his 2028 Presidential run Rod Blagojevich says JB Pritzker is on tape begging to be made a U.S. Senator and going on racist rants. He says JB could be implicated in the same crimes that he was accused of and jailed for. Pritzker also called President Trump demanding to keep Rod in jail. This could end his political career. Should the tapes be released, @realBlagojevich?
