Illinois State Rep. Amy Elik rips into Progressive Democrats for "working out" the Illinois' 2026 budget in secrecy.

“The people of Illinois deserve so much better. I hate this for them.” 🎯

[Commissioner Sean Morrison @SeanMMorrison]

🚨 Illinois taxpayers, listen up! 🚨
Because Gov. Pritzker, democrat state reps, and senators refuse to cut waste, fraud, or bloated government, every Amazon, UPS, and FedEx delivery will now come with a $1.50 PER PACKAGE TAX, forever.

Every box you order, every delivery you make, you’ll pay extra, just to keep funding Springfield’s mismanagement. Enough is enough! 💸📦

[Adam Niemerg @adamniemerg]

Illinois Democrats just passed a reckless budget… and it’s going to cost YOU!

Illinois doesn’t have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.

Instead of cutting waste, Democrats in Springfield are raising $1 BILLION in new taxes — all to shove through a budget filled with political handouts and woke priorities:
•$21 million for abortion programs
•$65 million to promote electric vehicles
•$28.5 million for non-governmental organizations
•$39 million for services for illegal immigrants
•$87.8 million for DEI initiatives
•7,000 PAY RAISES for legislators

Working families are paying the price for this out-of-control spending.

Here’s why having a rational conversation doesn’t work in CA

CA uses 1.5-1.7 mil barrels of oil a day. CA produces 400k yet has more than enough to be self reliant. Instead CA buys from Iraq and other countries to supply the need. It costs more, is dirtier and burns more pollutants in the air, needs to be shipped around the world in cargo ships that pollutes the air and has a possibility to spill more oil exponentially into the oceans then the pipeline with safety valves which far exceeds the requirements (SOC Sable offshore). This is a case of idiots wanting what “sounds” good rather than is good for the environment. The govt needs to see the big picture and do what’s best for the state and country and stand up to this incompetence, however the CCC (CA coastal commission) is made up of said idiots 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Last year, my daughter got cut from her 7th grade volleyball team.

She made the first cut, and thought she had a good chance. But on the second and final cut, they called her name, and she put her head down and walked out to the car where her mom and I were waiting.

She opened the car door, sat down, and started bawling. It was so hard to watch. She wanted to be on that team more than anything. I thought she was good enough, but the coach didn't.

My heart went out to her. But we didn't sugarcoat things for her. We told her we understood how much it stings. I've been cut before. Her mom had been cut from sports before, too. It's an ego shot and a gut punch.

We told her to go ask the coach what she could work on for next year. The coach gave her good feedback. And told her she was the "first girl cut". Which sounded promising, but only added to the sting. She said to me, "If only I had been a little bit better and made a few more serves..."

We told her she had a few choices. She could let this be the end. Or she could use this as fuel and fire. And to use it as motivation to work hard to make the team next year.

For a solid year, she practiced 4-5 times per week minimum. She went to every camp, every practice session she could find, found a travel team she could play on, and spent her entire summer at camps, practices, or in our backyard smashing the volleyball against our house (and denting our siding lol).

She had her tryouts this week. In the first tryout, she unleashed her new jump serve and hit 20 straight volleyballs over the net. The coaches were stunned. She said all the coaches came up to her immediately in the first 5 minutes with their clipboards and said, "What's your name?"

They started using her as a demonstrator, saying "Hey, Brooklyn, can you show everyone how to do this?" Even over the returning starters.

I asked her how she did when she got back. "Hey, you've been around a lot of volleyball in the last year. How did you do? Were you in the upper half of the players?"

She's a humble girl. And she proudly said, "I was the best player on the court."

She made the team, obviously. I'm beaming as a father this week.

I told her how proud I was of her. But not just because she made the team, or she's a great player now. But because she didn't give up. She didn't cry about it (after that first day). She didn't ask mom and dad to go lobby for her to be on the team.

She got after it and worked hard for a full year, taking no breaks. Her other volleyball friends were for sure taking it easier. Chilling out and vibing during the summer. She was attending camps and practicing and getting better while they were relaxing.

Sometimes as a parent, you hope you're teaching your kids how to do things.

But this was a case where she taught me how to do things. 100%.
