To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom, opportunity, and dignity of Illinoisans, I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior.
You come for my people – you come through me.

Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair
Shoutout to my boss @GovPritzker for making Election Day a state holiday and allowing procrastinators like me who don’t early vote a whole day to get it done!
Gov. Walz: We just found out Trump had his branded Bibles printed in China. This dude will even outsource God. But hey, I don’t blame Trump for not noticing the ‘Made in China’ sticker. They put them on the inside, a part of the Bible that he’s never looked at
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "We have a choice, America. Between the man who left our country a total mess and the woman who has spent four years cleaning it up. And I think it's time we stop expecting women to clean up messes without the authority and the title to match the job. Vice President was a good title for Kamala Harris. You know an even better one? President of the United States of America."
I wish to personally express my sincerest gratitude to whomever it is on the Trump campaign who convinced Trump it was a good idea to have him appear before the @NABJ. Whoever you are, you are a true patriot, and your country is in your debt.
JB Pritzker on the White Dudes for Harris call: Afterward, of course, there's another Zoom that I invite you all to called "Couches Against Trump," better known as CATs
Today, I signed the forms officially declaring my candidacy for President of the United States.
I will work hard to earn every vote.
And in November, our people-powered campaign will win.
Trump: I didn’t cut Social Security, remember?
(Fact check: Trump introduced a budget to cut Social Security and Medicare every single year he was in office. The reason it didn’t happen was because Democrats stopped him)
