.@GovPritzker signed a whole bunch of new laws that take effect soon.
Some of them are extremely petty.
Are we really micromanaging plumbers and retail customer returns? Are we really doing this?
Always remember:
One million trivial regulations, in aggregate, combine to create a bad business environment in whole.
The economic literature bears this out. Tax and regulatory policymaking customs in Illinois get nearly everything wrong.
Illinois just budgeted $4.4 million for migrant daycare.
A dedicated line item right in the 639-page budget @JBPritzker signed.
The state has already burned through over $2.5 billion on our sanctuary status. Healthcare, housing, food, and now daycare.
Working families foot every bill.
We never voted for any of this.

According to a recent study by WalletHub, Illinoisans pay the highest taxes and fees in the nation, 53% more in taxes than the U.S. average. Meanwhile, a recent WalletHub study showed Illinois dead last in the nation in economic equity.
Minorities, the poor and others who support Pritzkers so called progressive agenda have been taken for granted as Illinois most expensive and expansive government has done little to improve economic conditions and opportunities for its poorest residents.
Illinois third ranking among states in the exodus of residents includes a second ranking for Black residents leaving, while Chicago’s lost more Black residents than any major American city since 2000. No coincidence that they’re overwhelmingly middle income families with school age children.
Any agenda that continuously raises taxes and fees, whose nation leading property taxes drives residents out of their homes and apartments, consistently expands government dependency, returns violent criminals to the streets and denies quality school choice, is not an equity agenda.
Don’t expect Illinois current leaders to reassesses their policies as an increasing percentage of those remaining as well as those arriving, including tens of thousands of international migrants, are government dependent and will continue to vote for the current leadership.
In Africa, black Christian kids as young as 4 years old are being sold inside bags as slaves by Muslim slave traders.
The media, progressives, Palestinian protesters, the UN, and even the Pope remain silent.
Why is everyone silent on this?
Here, the brilliant @Miss_Snuffy from London explains Zoran Mamdani Mania better than anyone in America has so far done so…
This is a great, but terrifying speech…

🚨 I’m a Black man, a proud conservative, and a follower of Jesus Christ.
When I see protesters outside the Collin County Courthouse chanting “FUCK WHITE LIVES!” after Karmelo Anthony’s sentencing for murdering Austin Metcalf, my soul grieves.
This isn’t justice. This isn’t “community.” This is demonic hatred — plain and simple. All lives are made in the image of God. Every single one. Black, White, Brown — doesn’t matter.
Celebrating the loss of any innocent life, or cheering on evil because of skin color, is straight from the pit of hell.
And here’s the truth they don’t want you to say out loud: When Black conservatives, Christians, or truth-tellers like me call this out, we get labeled “traitors,” “Uncle Toms,” or “betrayers of the community.”
Let them talk.
I’d rather be disliked by some in my own community than stand before a Holy God and be found guilty of excusing evil, hating my neighbor, or twisting justice for racial points.
My allegiance is to Christ first — not color, not tribe, not political pressure.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20)
I choose truth over tribe. Light over darkness. God over man.
Who else is tired of the hate? Drop a 🙏 if you stand for real justice — not skin color.
