The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority.
There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the @IL_Natl_Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about “law and order,” it’s about creating chaos.
Our National Guard should be used when absolutely necessary and when local law enforcement needs it—
Not forced on our communities to intimidate citizens and inflame tensions Trump created in the first place.
Trump is using military force to crush civilian dissent.
It’s un-American.
Tell me again how AI is ready for primetime, the answer to all that ails us, and not in a bubble. I'll wait.

Amazon: Tariffs are making things more expensive.
White House: No they aren’t.
Amazon: *shows prices with tariffs*
White House: This is a hostile and political act!
Katie Pyzyk retweeted
The people still defending the tariffs now are the equivalent of people who defended Biden running for re-election even after the debate. The best litmus tests I've ever seen for complete partisan hackery.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., put jokes aside when she appeared on the political satire The Daily Show this week as she criticized the Trump administration’s treatment of veterans.

PR and comms folks: Journalists tend to hate April Fool's Day fake press releases and company "announcements." If you waste my time with these, I will wish the wrath of 10,000 fire ants on you.

The specter of #stagflation—a toxic mix of stagnating growth and rising inflation—has been haunting economies again. Once considered a relic of the 1970s, stagflation’s resurgence demands a fresh look at economic management. weforum.org/stories/2025/03/…

Love this show and glad to see all the wins. But for the millionth time, it's not a freaking comedy.

I hate it when newscasters (or anyone, really) say an #Olympic athlete "had to settle for" a silver or bronze. Imagine insinuating that someone's incredible, medal-winning, sometimes nearly superhuman accomplishments are a failure just because they didn't get a gold. smh
