JB Pritzker is against using Illinois taxpayer dollars to help keep the Chicago Bears in Illinois. But he’s perfectly fine with using $180 million in taxpayer money to renovate his downtown Chicago Hyatt hotel.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s “office of lgbtq advancement” is holding a “trans period pride” event to discuss menstrual equity & the experiences of transgender menstruators
The office received nearly $1 million in taxpayer funding this year
This is real
What a time to be alive
Listen to this guy just flat out spew lie after lie after lie while standing behind the sign that reads “FIGHTING for ILLINOIS”
which is his biggest lie
People of Illinois wake up. The polls show King Pritzker has a double-digit lead over Bailey. Pritzker is the WORST governor in the history of Illinois. A lot of Republican voters sit on the couch and don't vote because they think we have no chance. We can't afford any more destruction to this state. Pritzker is a human wrecking ball who has never suffered in his life. Please let's make Illinois great again and flip it red.
STOP THE PRESSES! New video from Chicago Mayor Johnson's pressers.
Chicago Mayor Johnson refused to answer my questions yesterday about waste, fraud, and abuse tied to his lavish Rome trip with an eight-person entourage — plus his personal police security.
Instead of answers, I got ducking, dodging, staff interruptions, and the usual attempt to shut me down.
So today, I gave him another chance.
Johnson said the purpose of the trip was to deliver the Pope a Cubs hat. I told him Chicago taxpayers could save a lot of dough if he just mailed the cap.
Then came the real question: who’s picking up the tab?
Johnson says no taxpayer money is being used. But World Business Chicago is funding the trip — and World Business Chicago is funded by the City of Chicago. Johnson is also the chair.
Then I asked if anybody doing business with City Hall is going with him to Rome. His answer? He said he didn’t have the guest list. C’mon. Does that sound straight to you?
Chicago deserves answers from Mayor Johnson. Watch the full video.

.@GovPritzker If you spent 1/3 of the time you spend talking about our President and use it to work for the people of IL life here might improve. Instead your blame game obsession with him makes you look ridiculous. You embarrass yourself over and over.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Rep. Byron Donalds just MIC DROPPED every Democrat traitor in America
"They will watch people STARVE. They will watch people be oppressed and they won't lift a FINGER, but they'll go to their cocktail party and talk about how they 'stand for freedom and liberty and democracy.' Give me a BREAK!"
"The fact that you have Democrat senators who want to stop President Trump from doing what he can to help free Cuba from more than 60 years of totalitarianism and a DICTATORSHIP."
"But then the SAME Democrats will come here and LECTURE everybody in America about how they're the 'only ones that stand for freedom, that stand for democracy.' Give me a BREAK!" 🔥
"They're lying. But this isn't new. They lie about this stuff all the time because we work in these halls and when we try to just do simple common sense policy to actually open up America's economy for the American people, drive down costs, have health care that makes sense..."
"...You know who stops us? The same Democrats who go on the trail and talk about how they're the only one standing for the little guy!"
"That war powers resolution that they're bringing is indicative of the fact that the Democrats will tolerate totalitarianism on THEIR watch and they will let it happen."
"I don't listen to them anymore and that resolution is why."
Next governor of Florida. 🇺🇸☀️
In Part 2 of today’s Pritzker blame games, this time he’s going after Trump for Illinois’ high gas prices.
But somebody – like the press, if they would – needs to ask Pritzker why Trump’s policies don’t hit the Midwest equally. Why is Illinois’ $5.05 per gallon gas price (avg. per AAA):
94 cents higher than Indiana’s?
88 cents higher than Kentucky's?
87 cents higher than Missouri's?
76 cents higher than Iowa's?
55 cents higher than Wisconsin's?
25 cents higher than Michigan's?
Pritzker’s honest answer would be: “Because after I doubled the motor fuel tax in 2019 and then tied those taxes to inflation, we now have the nation’s 3rd-highest gas taxes. It’s on me.”
But don’t count on Pritzker to tell the truth. Or the media to challenge Pritzker on it.

@DarrenBaileyIL Good Morning Mr. Bailey. The school district tax my property is $5600 of my $9500 property taxes. I never had children. Can you do something, discount property tax charges for all people who are childless? I understand the schools need support, but holy cow!!
Very solid Property Tax Relief Proposal from @DarrenBaileyIL
Step 1: Freeze Property Taxes
Step 2: Hard 1% Cap on Property Taxes
Step 3: DOGE Efficiency Audits to Find and Stop Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
Step 4: Used DOGE savings to fully fund schools
Today I spoke before the Chicago City Council about showing up, listening, and making every neighborhood safer, more affordable, and full of opportunity.
Here are my remarks:
