Governor JB Pritzker signed his $56B budget yesterday, bringing the number of tax and fee increases in his two terms to 63.

In his two terms, his tax increases have taken a cumulative $77 billion more from taxpayers, and this does not include an additional $8.5B a year higher property taxes since 2019.

Illinois residents now pay the highest state and local taxes and fees in the entire nation. Pritzker’s tax policies have throttled Illinois economy, which has produced less than 10K private sector job growth since Pritzker became governor.

The CTU isn’t the only one trying to hide audits. Gov. JB Pritzker’s office’s last published state audit was dated June 2023. The next audit was expected in 2025, but it hasn’t been published.
Why? 

Pritzker says he reviews all audits while trying to downplay the continued negative findings in audits of individual state agencies by dismissing them as repetitive.

Pritzker has shrugged off the Illinois Auditor General’s (IAG) finding that $5.2 billion in fraudulent unemployment insurance payouts during COVID as meaningless, saying other states had experienced fraud.

To deflect from his incompetence, Pritzker specifically pointed to the massive insurance fraud in California—estimated at over $20 billion,  taking a shot at chief rival for the Dem nomination for president, Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Evidently, this makes massive fraud in Illinois OK.

Pritzker also had no explanation for the IAG’s special audit in Feb. 2025, that revealed health benefits for undocumented immigrants cost over $1.6 billion, three times the initial projections.

You can’t make this up.

Hypocrisy on full display.

There was Mayor Johnson standing in the cold to protest the ICE shooting in Minneapolis and calling for its abolition while saying nothing about Kiara Jenkins, 36-year-old Black mother of five, shot five times and killed on her way to church.

Neither the Jenkins shooting nor recent violence in Chicago's West and South Sides which saw multiple fatalities across the Lawndale , East Garfield Park, and Woodlawn neighborhoods brought the Mayor, CTU, pastors or activists out into the cold to protest.

Neither has the carnage against Chicago’s school children. In the last two years, 504 school age children 17 years and younger have been shot and 107 killed including 23 murders of children 12 years old and younger.

Where’s the outage, the protests, the same sense urgency.

Silence from the Mayor, the CTU and their supporters.

Not shocking but Brady is really good on air.

[Bulls on CHSN @CHSN_Bulls]

At the end of his postgame interview after dropping 20 points vs. the Mavericks, Ayo Dosunmu said, "Watch how the Bears come back."

The Bears were down 21-6 when he said that.

They won 31-27.

THE CARDIAC BEARS STRIKE AGAIN

[BearsShowYo @BearsShowYo]

Caleb Williams made the greatest comeback of all time against the Packers.

[Max Markham @MaxMarkhamNFL]

Today is the biggest Bears game since I don’t know when. This one will be different for me, I won’t be watching from the comfort of my own man cave or at a friends house.

I’ll be watching on my laptop from the corner unit in the oncology ward, as my youngest daughter receives chemotherapy to fight Stage 4 Kidney cancer.

I’ve never felt so close to hell being surrounded by rooms of balding, crying children and one of them being my own.

I have hope that through it all God is still good. I am confident of this.

But mann would it ever help if the Bears beat the Packers today. 🐻⬇️

Makes sense after Eberflus became available.

[El Centro Sector Border Patrol @USBPChiefELC]

Why are we in the greater Chicago area?

To arrest bad people and bad things.

Exhibit A: Illegal alien from Mexico arrested by Office of Field Operations Operation Midway Blitz…

In addition to 9 previous arrests (including felony and misdemeanor convictions), his most recent arrest made national news, when on March 30, 2025, he allegedly posed as a rideshare driver in Chicago, IL and sexually assaulted a woman inside his vehicle after picking her up outside a local nightclub. He was charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated kidnapping with bodily harm, and unlawful restraint. He was released from detention two days after his arrest.

With a lengthy and violent criminal record dating back to 2002, why has he been living free as a bird in the Windy City? Because of Chicago’s embrace of sanctuary policies, which hurt rather than help its residents. But no more. Operation Midway Blitz is here to rid Chicago of criminal illegal aliens like him.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

For years, @GovPritzker and his fellow sanctuary politicians released rapists, kidnappers, and drug traffickers on Chicago’s streets—putting American lives at risk.

Operation Midway Blitz will surge DHS law enforcement to Chicago to target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens.
