@SpeakerWelchIL The gas pumps, the stores, and insurance are all cheaper in Indiana than they are in Illinois. What a ridiculous statement on your part.

@joyfulnoyz @jus10chi The bears pay rent to the city of Chicago to use Soldier Field. They don't get parking or concession revenue. Having their own stadium will provide Billions in additional value to the franchise.

@suzukiplshomer A Cubs fan referring to other franchises as "used to losing" is laugh out loud funny. Cubs have done plenty of losing themselves

@FightOnRusty Sounds like you USC "insiders" need to get on the same page. https://t.co/VhkfgFnvVl

[InsideUSC @InsideUSC]

Since the announcement USC and Notre Dame would no longer play each, USC donors and luxury suite holders have let the athletic dept. know they are disgusted with the decision (and the A.D.) and it played a role in talks resuming

Forgot to say Good Morning, so good evening guys

@DemzDeliver Yeah those of us who live in blue states need more income to pay all of the stupid taxes.

@tonygoatjas @TVanderwijst @J5_Sports1 Whats the back story on the other 4 names mentioned?

[NDJim @jcesak]

@DissidentTherap @J5_Sports1 Keep an eye on the DL commits ND picks up over the next couple of weeks. No one in South Bend is worried about one guy staying home.

[NDJim @jcesak]

@PSUinPA @J5_Sports1 Yes because NFL scouts drool over Pop Tart Bowl game film

[NDJim @jcesak]

@TVanderwijst @tonygoatjas @J5_Sports1 Joey O'Brien, Khary Adams, Grayson McKeough, Tyler Merrill and Jajuan Seider would like a quick word. Let's see where defensive line recruiting goes for Notre Dame over the next couple of weeks before worrying about the one kid from PA who actually did stay home.

@LaurenUnderwood Its an Illinois residents pay the highest tax burden problem. That comes from you and the other democrats who run this state, not any republican.

@DoctahDean Maybe start with movie reacher and work your way up in weight class

.@GovPritzker, I saw your post honoring lives lost in Minnesota—standing publicly, naming Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and laying flowers in their memory.

But where was that same compassion on January 19, 2025?

That is the day my 20-year-old daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed here in Illinois. She was innocent. She did not knowingly put herself in the middle of an ongoing law enforcement situation. She was not making a dangerous choice.

She was simply living her life—and it was taken from her.

You have never said her name. You have never come to where she died. You have never acknowledged her publicly.

And beyond that—you have never even responded to me.

I sent you a simple, non-political letter. Not for attention. Not for headlines. Just a father asking for clarity, for answers, and for understanding of the state’s position.

You never replied.

And now, in the wake of another tragedy here in Chicago, your public display of compassion elsewhere—while remaining silent about victims in your own state—feels deeply disconnected from the reality families like mine are living every day.

Instead, you continue to defend sanctuary policies that create the conditions where preventable tragedies like hers can happen.

This is not about politics. It’s about leadership and accountability.

When you choose to publicly mourn some victims while remaining silent about others—especially those lost under policies you support—it sends a message.

Whether intentional or not, it tells families like mine that our loss does not matter the same way.

So I am asking you directly:

Where is your compassion for my daughter? Where is your acknowledgment of victims here in Illinois? And when will you take responsibility for the consequences of the policies you defend?

Say her name: Katie Abraham.

Stand where she died. Show the people of Illinois that every life matters.

[NDJim @jcesak]

@DoctahDean Some grudges will never die. This is one of them.

[NDJim @jcesak]

@SenatorDurbin 74 homicides in Chicago so far this year. If one death a week is a crisis then what do you call it when the rate is 6 times that?

[NDJim @jcesak]

@SenDuckworth Of course you will vote no. You have embarrassed the people of Ilinois and even though 90% of people want this you will choose to self serve and vote along party lines because of your TDS.

@jakeryan2112 If NBC wants to make us pay for Peacock to access ND TV feeds sounds to me like that would be the perfect place to do so.
