This is not a drill folks. We are in a historic constitutional crisis. Impeachment is a rare a serious situation that will become the defining moment of this generation. Strongly consider your position and patriotism. Search within and find the strength to fight.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Let’s all take a moment to think about Illinois workers, recognize #WorkersMemorialDay and honor those we have lost on the job over the last year. We must continue advancing measures to keep workers safe and prevent as many senseless tragedies as we can. @AFLCIO @chicagolabor

[Anne Caprara @anacaprana]

Irresponsible, reckless, ignores the law, science and medical experts so that one grandstanding legislator can get a few press hits. An absolute disgrace. The state will appeal immediately and work to protect the many, many lives we are entrusted with.

Representative Darren Bailey's reckless lawsuit has put all Illinoisans at risk, we are grateful for @GovPritzker 's leadership in keeping us all safe during this incredibly difficult time. Representative Bailey should be ashamed and immediately withdraw his suit. #twill

Illinois wins as most representative in @NPR's "Perfect State Index" based on five factors (age, education, income, race and religion).
The governor appears to call for action, tweeting "it’s time for the most representative state in the country to be the first in the nation."

He threatened her. 🙄🤦‍♀️

The president threatened a serving State Department official during his July 25 phone call with Ukraine's president. “She’s going to go through some things,” Trump said of the country's former ambassador. https://t.co/dJYzZUrQ4T # via @HuffPostPol

[Indivisible Springfield @IndivisibleSPI]

Extreme partisan Rep @RodneyDavis seems intent on sticking his head in the sand no matter the facts and again putting the cart before the horse. He’s a bootlicker. #bootlickerDavis @IndivisibleTeam @CU_Indivisible

[Mark Maxwell @MarkMaxwellTV]

Look at that. Congress still capable of doing things, despite the noise about impeachment.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

The Senate’s bipartisan vote today to terminate @realDonaldTrump’s fake national emergency is an important step to saving the $3.6 billion of critical military construction projects that improve the quality of life for our servicemembers & their families. https://t.co/20mZMGxj6Z

JUST IN: An adviser to Ukraine's president tells ABC News that Trump's insistence for the two leaders to discuss a possible investigation into Joe Biden was a precondition for their now-infamous July 25 phone call. https://t.co/ah8VHMb5z5

Per this May 2018 report, this might not be the first time this has happened.

The last time Ukraine sought US anti-tank missiles, they appear to have believed that the cost of getting those Javelins included...
