Cheers to Gov. Pritzker for being the best Governor in America. Illinois is #1! #1 in Highest Property Taxes #1 in Property Tax Task Forces #1 in Highest Combined State and Local Taxes #1 in Highest Cell Phone Tax #1 in Highest Proposed Corporate Income Tax Rate #1 in Units of Local Government #1 in Fiscal Instability #1 in Lowest Bond Rating for 13 Consecutive Years #1 in Lowest State Pension Funding Percentage #1 in Most Public Corruption in a Federal District (Northern Illinois) #1 in the Biggest Gas Tax Increase Since 2019 #1 in Eliminating School Choice Programs for Families @GovPritzker is proudly presiding over the most taxed, least solvent, and most dysfunctional state government in American history - he's #1 where it hurts the citizens of Illinois the most.

Hey Chicago Bears Fans, Your blood is about to boil reading this: I just did some research. The state of Illinois has spent over $2.5 BILLION on free benefits for illegals last year. At the same time Illinois Governor @JBPritzker was telling the Bears there’s “no money” for tax relief on a new stadium. Let that sink in. For $2.5 billion the state of Illinois could have PAID for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears. Instead, they spent it paying for lavish benefits for aliens, while running a $3 billion deficit and losing a franchise they've had for over 100 years. This is what Democrat priorities look like. They hate you and will destroy your state for power.

My two cents, JB is behind the whole Bears relocation to IN drama and will swoop in during the 11th hour with some grand plan to keep them in IL and will tout that rescue into a 2028 presidential campaign painting him as a hero rather than the feckless politician he is.

Robert Duvall, about as iconic of an actor as his generation produced, has passed away at age 95. To be in the Godfather movies, and Apocalypse Now alone sets him in elite status, & that doesn’t even cover his other iconic roles. Always remembered, never forgotten. RIP, legend

Armed robbery in the West Loop. In broad daylight. This isn’t the Chicago the people built. The West Loop was once a symbol of revitalization, thriving businesses, families strolling the streets, restaurants, and entrepreneurs investing in our city. Now, we’re dealing with shootings in broad daylight. And yet, the @ChicagosMayor and @GovPritzker keep telling us this is the "safest city." Listen to their own words. You be the judge. But remember, they have police details and security. You don’t. You have to live with this reality. It’s right here. The only way this changes is if you vote these people and policies out. @FlipChicagoRed #votered

If Congress won’t pass a bill that 83% of US citizens are asking for— that means we have taxation without representation. I do not consent.

Jajaja... De mis sketches favoritos de Saturday Night Live. Ni Ryan Gosling pudo aguantarse de risa de interpretar a Beavis. Realmente Beavis & Butt-Head son un icono para la banda que creció en los 90s y de las mejores series animadas de todos los tiempos.

I am horrified. I cannot believe it. I analyzed public databases and media reporting on violent confrontations with ICE over the past year. Just 9 counties accounted for TWO-THIRDS of violent confrontations with ICE in America. This is twice all violent confrontations in the remaining 3,134 counties COMBINED. A violent confrontation in these 9 counties was 590 TIMES more likely than any of these other 3,134 counties. 590 times. I plotted these 9 counties, and I found that all 9 counties are sanctuary jurisdictions run by Democrat politicians that resist immigration law enforcement. These violent confrontations are RARE in states and cities where local officials cooperate with law enforcement.

WOW! Senator Chapin Rose exposes how Illinoisans’ electric bills have skyrocketed since Pritzker became governor: “Since Governor Pritzker, Illinois has lost 6,000 megawatts of reliable, 24-hour power — that’s the equivalent of three nuclear power plants, or enough energy to power a million homes in this state. Here we are, with $8 billion in rate increases on the people of Illinois. In 2019, electricity was 8.6 cents per kilowatt-hour. In the summer of this year, it tripled under the leadership of Governor Pritzker. Governor Pritzker and the supermajority Democrats — an $8 billion rate increase on the people of Illinois.”

Pritzker signs 2 gun control bills today and says this: "I’m tired of forcing our children to duck and cover because too many politicians are ducking and covering for the gun industry’s money.” WHAT Politicians? Your party has controlled the state for over 2 decades and Chicago for almost a century.

Illinois Democrats won’t do DOGE, so we joined forces with private citizens and did it ourselves. Over $1 BILLION blown on DEI grift and bureaucratic bloat—while working families get squeezed. This is theft, not governance. We need to gut the dead weight and put the people back in charge. #DrainSpringfield #ILCorruption #EnoughIsEnough #ILDOGE #DOGE @ILFreedomCaucus @JeanneIves @IlliniJen @FlipChicagoRed

Illinois' sanctuary policies threaten the safety of our citizens. It's time to end these failed policies and protect Illinois families. thecaucusblog.com/2025/05/il… #twill
