🚨One year after the Big Ugly Bill, @cmitchellforlg & @illinoisdems are at Living Fresh Market in Forest Park, highlighting how @JBPritzker is putting money back in people’s wallets, providing $400 in emergency assistance to families kicked off SNAP
🚨‼️ @JBPritzker x @kaitlancollins: Trump and MAGA Republicans take positions based in racism. Their attack against birthright citizenship is one of them.
🚨‼️ @JBPritzker x @kaitlancollins: Surprisingly, the Supreme Court made the right ruling. It’s a wonder why birthright citizenship was even adjudicated when the Constitution clearly says it’s the law of the land.
🚨‼️ @JBPritzker x @kaitlancollins: Are you a fighter? Are you someone who actually believes in lowering costs for working families? That’s how we win in 2026 and beyond.
.@JBPritzker understands that in order to win in 2026, Democrats need to reach voters where they are. This group is mostly non-political, with a major focus on lifestyle, comedy, things to do in Chicago/IL, and culture.
‼️HAPPENING NOW: @JBPritzker & @cmitchellforlg celebrate Pride Month w/ 45 local content creators who have a collective audience of 14.5M across platforms
🚨‼️ @JBPritzker: The White House and Congress have fallen into the hands of grifters of false pride, purveyors of bigotry and hatred, spelunkers for misery. Their aim is to enrich and aggrandize themselves and do it at the expense of the powerless and the most vulnerable.
🚨‼️ @JBPritzker: I fought and won on the issue of raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, paid leave, and increased funding for education. I enacted the Clean Slate Act, which makes it easier for nonviolent offenders who've served their time to rebuild their lives.
🚨‼️ @JBPritzker: We've been laser focused on making IL a state where everyone can experience the dignity of a good job, a safe home, a good education, and the protection of their rights. We're making progress every day in a world where Donald Trump is trying to take us backward.

@NatPurser this shade is much more pointed at people who try to start off as "dc influencers" but later pop up in chicago disparaging it because they never left a transplant neighborhood, to be fair
