Governor DeSantis and Governor Pritzker each just signed their 8th state budgets. The contrast couldn't be starker. And the lesson is that who you elect matters. Change out the politicians and you get different policies.
For reference, Florida is 1.8x more populous than IL, 23.37m people compared to 12.71m people. Now consider these points:
1. FL general revenue budget is $52B, IL is $56B. Because state's have different ways of budgeting, lookimg at the total FY27 budgets, FL =$117B, IL=$130B. This doesn't make sense.
2. Pritzker advocated for and signed the largest budget in state history this year and in previous years. DeSantis has lowered the amount spent every year for the last four years and vetoed over $10B in spending during his time in office. Pritzker's budget is up $16B since he took office.
3. Pritzker brags about his credit upgrades, but IL has the worst state credit rating, FL has the best credit rating.
4. FL has a rainy day fund of $18B. IL rainy day fund is $2B.
5. FL is pushing $78B in road programs and moving planned projects ahead 5-15 years. IL can't even get projects planned, permitted and built in a timely manner, so many projects are left undone and money sits in an account collecting interest. And now that surplus interest is being sent to the CTA to bail them out.
6. DeSantis has given back over $9B in taxes. Pritzker has raised taxes every year for a total of over $77B according to IPI.
9. FL is giving $5,000 signing bonuses for police officers. IL politicians want to defund the police.
10. FL is on the cusp of eliminating property taxes for 60% of home owners and they have no state income tax. IL has the highest property taxes, plus individial income and estate taxes, high corporate taxes, and there's been no attempt to meaningfully lower property taxes.
Yes, elections have consequences. But, it can all ve reversed. DeSantis barely got elected 8 years ago. Your vote matters.

@RepThomasMassie can you tell me if @GoldmanCraig is in favor of the SAVE act? I can’t find anything and you’re the only one I trust

I am a 14th generation Heritage American.

My family showed up in 1635 and built this nation out of nothing but blood, sweat, and sacrifice.

Still, I’ve been taught my entire life that I’m on “stolen land” — that I’ve got no right to be here.

However, the children of illegal alien gang members from Venezuela, or of Chinese communist birth tourists?

This nation is their “birth right.”

Americans — you should be enraged.

If a woman gives birth at the Supreme Court, is her baby entitled to automatic status as a justice?

Official transcript from the US Senate on May 30, 1866. Senator Jacob Howard, who introduced the 14th Amendment:

"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens...”

SCOTUS got this ruling 100% wrong. A total travesty.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

The idea that a pregnant woman from Guatemala can sprint across the US border, have the baby 30 minutes after arriving here, and the baby is magically a citizen of the US, is one of the most retarded and indefensible notions ever conceived

[Tim Pool @Timcast]

Tomorrow Barrett will publish her argument that a Chinese Communist party member who flies to Guam so he and his wife can deliver their baby, who then take their child to be raised in China, will be eligible to be President of the United states 35 years later

For those who don’t know Shapiro is referencing a problem in 1970s NYC when Hasidic landlords engaged in mass fire insurance fraud throughout the Bronx when they didn’t get the rent growth they wanted.

Such wonderful people.

Client was pulled over because his rental car plate didn't provide a return when a crooked cop ran the plate for no reason. Within 7 minutes, Enterprise confirmed it was valid. Cop decided he was gonna violate Rodriguez and hold my client until drug dog showed up. Dog did two laps, no hit third lap, handler motioned for the dog to respond to justify a search. Client held over two hours in handcuffs while they went through his stuff. Found nothing, of course, because dogs are wrong 75% of the time. Just got him a $25,000 payday for those 2.5 hours. Lesson learned Montgomery, Texas?!

🚨 José Mourinho: “I once had a player who didn’t want to take a small injection to play a match.

I took off my shoe and socks and I put my foot right in front of his face and I told the doctor: ‘GIVE ME THE INJECTION’. And he gave it to me and my toe was perfect.

Then I told the player, ‘C’mon you can also do it.’ He said: ‘NO, you are CRAZY’.

He played NO matches with me after this (laughs).” [BeastModeOn]

Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu just secured a combined $184 million. Both their teams traded away All-Stars to make room for re-signing them.

But AKME couldn’t get a first round pick.

That, my friends, is why the Bulls have a new front office.

🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration ruled 6-3 that non-citizens who show up to the southern border do not automatically count as asylum seekers under federal law and can be turned away.

Major immigration win.

@broopski @Pies_of_Lee ARENT YOU THINKING IF WHERE THEYRE COMING FROMMMMM?

[Taya Bass @travelingflying]

“Ireland didn’t colonize anybody; they were a colony. They suffered terribly. They were willing to be brutalized, occupied, starved, all of these things for centuries to defend their little slice of the world, and yet Ireland is on track to be a minority Irish by 2070. I don’t like that.

People think diversity means every place in the planet should look like Jackson Heights in NYC, but that’s not diversity at all. Diversity is that when I go to Ireland, it’s Irish.”
