Glad to have sat down with @ndblumberg for a chat!

Republican leaders criticized the session schedule and new taxes in this year’s budget, but saw progress in their overall inclusion in budget talks.

Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie joined “Chicago Tonight” to discuss the spring session.

Notes are intended to help lawmakers and the public know the true impact of bills, especially the fiscal impact, BEFORE the legislation is voted on. State Representative Patrick Windhorst calls out the shady tactics often used by Democrats to rule notes on legislation "inapplicable" and avoid accountability. #twill

🚨SCUM: 5-hours since 2 Chicago Police Officers were gunned down by a naked felon, 1 cop is dead and the other fighting for his life—crickets from @GovPritzker & @ChicagosMayor.

Gennings Dunker on throwing an NFL Draft party for his Hometown:

“I know the draft party is kind of about me but I don’t want it to be about me. I want it be about the community and the town I grew up in and the people that helped raise me.”

When will the Democrats in Illinois finally admit they messed up and need to make fundamental changes to the SafeTAct?!??

[Ben Bradley @BenBradleyTV]

Prosecutor says SAFE-T Act prevents man arrested for DUI with a 22-month old child in the car from being detained... despite his two previous DUI convictions.

Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor Pritzker... STOP passing the blame!

[Ali Bradley @AliBradleyTV]

After Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called the killing of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman “senseless violence,” her family releasing a statement, “We acknowledge Mayor Johnson’s statement five days after our daughter, Sheridan's murder and his condolences to our family, as well as his recognition of the work of the Chicago Police Department.

But what happened to Sheridan cannot be reduced to a “senseless tragedy,” nor can it be explained in general terms about public safety. Sheridan was our daughter. She was 18 years old. She was doing something entirely normal—walking near her campus with friends. She should be here.

This was not random. It was not inevitable. And it cannot be treated as though it were.
We appreciate the efforts of law enforcement in making an arrest. But safety is not defined by how quickly a case is solved after the fact. It is defined by whether a young woman like Sheridan is protected in the first place.

“Our daughter was not in the wrong place at the wrong time. The system failed her.”
“Calling this ‘senseless’ is not enough. There must be a clear and honest accounting of what went wrong.”
“We are not interested in rhetoric. We are asking for accountability.”

We will not allow Sheridan’s life to be reduced to a talking point or a generalization. We expect leadership that is willing to confront hard truths and ensure that what happened to her does not happen again.

We stand ready to engage with the Mayor and any public official willing to approach this with seriousness, transparency, and a commitment to real change.”

Horrible!

🚨 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says he's going to "double down" on protecting illegal aliens from ICE even after the murder of Sheridan Gorman:

"This tragedy is not going to deter us from our work."

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Johnson NAILS IT, saying the m*rder of young girl Sheridan Gorman in Chicago by an illegal alien was BY DEMOCRAT DESIGN

"The irony of all this is that the system did NOT fail Sheridan. That worked EXACTLY as the Democrats intended."

"You had Democrats in charge of the White House and in charge in the city of Chicago. Open borders policies, sanctuary cities policies, they coddled the criminal illegal alien."

"They empowered, they allowed this to happen and that's why we're so angry about it!"

"He was in the custody of law enforcement TWICE and there were two chances to stop Sheridan's killer."

"But Democrats open borders guaranteed the release and their soft on crime sanctuary policies ensured his impunity and that's why this happened."

"How many more times does this story have to be repeated?! Everybody needs to be asking that question!"

"Unfortunately the Democrats agenda is going to continue to come at the expense of American citizens, innocent American people, as long as the Democrats insist on shielding dangerous criminals from our laws." @SpeakerJohnson

No!!!!

[Chicago Flips Red @FlipChicagoRed]

A sitting alderman, Maria Hadden 🌈🌈🌈 (pronoun fighter) of the 49th Ward, described the murder of Sheridan Gorman as “wrong place, wrong time” and suggested the attacker may have been “startled.”

We have a serious problem in Chicago.

When leadership frames violent crime this way, it raises real concerns about priorities, accountability, and public safety.

This is about the direction of our city and the influence of major political organizations like the Chicago Teachers Union, SEIU, and United Working Families—and whether their priorities are aligned with everyday Chicagoans.

49th Ward: we must make sure this is her last term.

If a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth gets its shoes on, then by the time JB Pritzker got to the podium Tuesday morning, the lie had already lapped him twice.

Here’s what flight records and court records actually showed: https://t.co/gNiMgWyfOa

Wow!!!

[Midwest Millennial @MillennialVerse]

During former President Clinton’s deposition over Jeffrey Epstein, he recalls one of those flights included @JBPritzker.

“I think that I had my first trip for the man who's now the governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker and his wife.”

This is wild!😵‍💫

[RSLC Rapid Response @RSLC_Rapid]

Don’t let JB Pritzker and the Democrats fool you. They want to raise taxes despite what they try to call it.

[Tony McCombie @mccombieforilli]

JB already chased one "millionaire" out! Millions of tax dollars lost that helped our most vulnerable! #waytogo #nonewtaxes

While you use floor time to grandstand and pass meaningless, self serving resolutions, Illinoisans are paying the price for Democrats’ dangerous policies. Why won’t you take public safety seriously? #victimsbeforecriminals

[Emanuel "Chris" Welch @ChrisWelch_JD]

While Tony McCombie and Illinois Republicans double down on their support of Trump and his disastrous policies, Americans are not. Not even in deep red Texas. We will continue to remind Illinois voters who stands with them and the Constitution.

[Tony McCombie @mccombieforilli]

Talking out both sides of his mouth! The Safe-T-Act has failed and continues to so! #victimsovercriminals

[US Holocaust Museum @HolocaustMuseum]

Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.

[Itai Biran @ItaiBiran]

After 843 days in captivity, Ran Gvili’s body was returned home today.

Ran was the first to go out and defend on October 7, and the last to return.

“All of Israel are responsible for one another (Kol Yisrael arevim zeh la’zeh)” is not a slogan.
It is a way of life. One that every Israeli is raised with from the day they are born.

We care for one another, protect one another, and stand for one another, even when the cost is unbearably high. This mutual responsibility is the foundation of our people.

May his memory be a blessing.
