Pritzker: “Democrats want to cut taxes for everyday people.”

Also Pritzker: 7% statewide tax on Netflix, concerts, and sports, on top of Chicago’s 10.25% tax on streaming at home.

House Democrats pushed that last fall. In Chicago, it would have meant about 17% on streaming and nearly 19% on tickets. Lollapalooza said the tax threatened the festival.

Under Pritzker, Illinois now has the highest combined state and local tax rate in America. At least 63 tax and fee hikes. $77 billion in cumulative costs to taxpayers over 8 years. About $1,400 more a year for the median household.

“Cut taxes?” More like stack taxes.

Congress hasn’t worked enough goddamn hours in 2026 to meet SNAP’s own work requirements.

Just in case you were wondering who the “welfare queens” really are, it’s those lazy-ass motherfuckers in Congress.

@Jordan_Sather_ I refer to AI as “Accessible Information”. As you said, it’s a tool, and I use it for that purpose. I consider the term “Artificial Intelligence” an oxymoron.

I just watched Sheridan Gorman's family speak at the Republican Midterm Convention. People of Illinois, WE CANNOT ALLOW @GovPritzker to continue to be governor. He values illegal aliens over Americans and this poor family lost their baby. It's sickening.
Get out and VOTE RED!!!!!

[Jeff Wheaton @Jwheaton2963]

@MissinRoyko Imagine if he worked as hard for Illinois as he does at lying and blaming.

[War Correspondent @warDaniel47]

🚨 FACT: If you make "F*CK ICE" signs for your children so they can ditch school and protest the arrest of illegal alien r*pists and m*rderers, you're a horrible parent.

When Pritzker took office, Illinois had ZERO Flock cameras.

Now we have 7,000+.

7,000 government eyes tracking where innocent Illinoisans go.

Pritzker let a mass surveillance network grow across our state.

I’ll tear it down.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

JB Pritzker has spent eight years taxing Illinois families to death, and voters have had enough.

He’s unpopular. He’s under 50%. And this race is within reach.

We can and will beat JB Pritzker.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

Governor McBillions doesn't care about farmers.

He's had three budgets to kill the death tax on family farms. He left it out of all three.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

We’ll give JB Pritzker a few minutes to figure out how Donald Trump did this.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

Chicagoland woke up last Saturday to yet another tax hike.

Illinois politicians keep taking and taking because there’s no adult in the room to say NO

When I’m governor, the tax hikes stop.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

I'm not going to outspend a billionaire. Never was.

But JB Pritzker can't buy back the eight years he spent taxing you out of your home.

We win this the only way we ever could. Neighbor to neighbor, county by county.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

Illinois isn't just dealing with a few bad apples.

We have one of the most corrupt political machines in America.

It's time to clean house.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

Someone asked what Pritzker legislation I wouldn't sign.

Short answer: All of it.

He’s destroying Illinois, and we can’t let him finish the job on his way to a presidential run.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

You can tell JB Pritzker is feeling the pressure.

If he had eight years of success to run on, he'd be talking about that.

Instead, he's calling me a racist.

Tomorrow I'll probably be a fascist.

Friends, I just want to lower your taxes and keep the bad guys in jail.

[The SCIF @TheSCIF]

Trump was so far ahead in the 2020 Election, that Democrats had to literally shut down the count, some even stopped in the middle of the day for no reason at all, and they had to cheat on top of already cheating in order for Biden to clear the margin of victory.

Every vote that came in when counting resumed was for Biden, which is statistically impossible. The 2020 election was stolen, and everybody knows it.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

Tough scene for JB Pritzker.

Campaigning for president 24/7 against Donald Trump (who won’t even be on the ballot) only to be non-existent in polling.

THREAD: The judge who sentenced Shiloh Hendrix to a 90-day stayed jail sentence, 200 hours of community service, probation, and a $1000 fine for using the n-word has a history of giving sex offenders no jail time.

Quick question for JB Pritzker:

Why did Chicago homeowners eat a property tax hike the same year the Hyatt Regency got a $150 MILLION assessment cut and taxpayers kept funding renovations at a Hyatt-run hotel overseen by your appointees?
