I cannot think of a bigger hypocrisy in America than Congress voting to cover up sexual harassment and the associated payoffs using taxpayer dollars. Voting to cover up crimes of their own members simply enables more of this behavior. You all scream for Epstein file transparency, but when it comes to exposing your own members you are complete hypocrites. Thank you to @timburchett@RepNancyMace@realannapaulina
Illinois is becoming a business killer, and Chicago is becoming a small-business killer.
DraftKings announced it will close its Wrigley Field sportsbook on May 31. In a statement published by the Chicago Tribune, the company pointed directly to Illinois’ tax policies as a major reason for the decision.
“While we are proud of what we have built alongside the Chicago Cubs, we are taking a more focused approach to where we invest in the state. The cost of operating in Illinois, including its high tax structure, makes it more difficult to justify continued investment in a standalone retail sportsbook.”
The “high tax structure” DraftKings referenced includes Illinois’ per-wager tax that took effect on July 1, 2025:
• 25 cents on each of the first 20 million online sports bets annually
• 50 cents on every online sports bet after 20 million wagers
When businesses openly cite taxes and operating costs as reasons for leaving or scaling back investments, Illinois leaders should pay attention.
Every time a company closes a location, reduces investment, or chooses another state, it impacts jobs, economic activity, and future opportunities.
The question Illinois taxpayers should be asking is simple:
How many businesses can Illinois afford to lose before elected officials realize that overtaxing employers comes with consequences?
Welcome to Illinois where politicians keep looking for new revenue while businesses keep looking for the exit. 🌹📉

Absolutely not the way any man reels in a sailfish. Ask ANY angler and you will get a unanimous response. I have fished in marlin tournaments out of Cabo, Orange Beach Alabama, Bermuda and more times than I can count out of Los Suenos and Quepos in Cosat Rica. No one uses the chair for anything but marlin.
@RepThomasMassie@WhiteHouse@mevans5729 And yet you still haven’t named names. You are a fraud. BTW, you sat in the chair reserved for marlin to reel in a sail. You’re a complete pussy.
You are the biggest fraud grifter of the modern age. Why don’t you fund all of the fraud in SNAP out of your inheritance? Why don’t you we have the highest taxes in the country under your pathetic “leadership”? Why did you and your family escape to Florida during COVID while you had Illinois in complete lockdown? How did your “blind trust” have the knowledge to invest in COVID testing kits at exactly the right time, of course while you were demand testing? How many toilets did you have removed to scam on your property taxes again? I could go on. You are nothing more than a trust fund joke and the Pritzker family is full of demented people-some quite publicly. Run for President. I have a better chance of winning that election. Narcissist to the core. Earned nothing, built nothing, deserve nothing.
@BobRowell1@BasedMikeLee Ah, I see. So you have found a local/state election where Trump had zero endorsement and because a Democrat won, you view that as what exactly? A referendum? A political wave? Just trying to follow it.
You act like getting a 50% bounce on a highly speculative stock is some sort of major achievement. You obviously aren’t following the broader market. There are so many stocks that have shown multiple hundreds of percent increases over the past six months thst I can’t even list them all. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel. And you spend all of your time touting one single stock and a 50% gain? SMH
@SenRandPaul Aren’t you still investigating Fauci as well? Grandstanding without actual results simply means that you are either completely incompetent or you are in fact just an attention seeking politician.
@LeaderJohnThune@usd Over half of America hates you-for good reason. You are a traitor to your party and more importantly to the majority of Americans.
