JB Pritzker: If you want to leave, then get up and move.
A governorโs job is to fix the state so people want to stay, not show his own people the door.
I don't believe Illinois is the problem.
I believe Illinois has some of the hardest-working, most generous people anywhere in America.
What's been failing isn't Illinois. It's the leadership. And I we cannot bring that leadership to Washington.
24 members of Congress are 80 or older
13 of them are running for re-election in 2026
Several have served for decades
Congress what NEVER meant to be a career!!
WE NEED TERM LIMITS NOW!!
How Illinois passes a budget:
>The legislature waits until the final night of session.
>At 4:13 in the morning, a 3,000-page, $55.9 billion budget (the largest in state history) gets a take-it-or-leave-it vote.
>Nobody reads it (because nobody has time to).
>@GovPritzker, who does actually get time to review it, has to issue 37 line-item and reduction vetoes to fix the errors legislators never saw. (One error was worth roughly half a trillion dollars.)
>And because revenue once again didn't grow enough to cover the spending, the same budget quietly added: a $300M corporate tax hike through capped NOL deductions, a $200M social media fee, a $60M tax on transferring your own digital assets between your own wallets, a fantasy sports tax, and a digital ad tax with a revenue estimate somewhere between $200 million and $1.2 billion.
On the latest episode of On the Rail, former state reps @mbatinick and @TomDemmer explain why this process guarantees these outcomes, and what more responsible states do differently.
If it turns out that sitting Members of Congress knowingly lied and claimed to have spoken with Senator Mitch McConnell when those conversations never actually happened, then ethics complaints should absolutely be on the table.
For now, document everything. Save the interviews, screenshots, and statements. Build the timeline.
If these conversations occurred, the evidence will support them. If they didnโt, the American people deserve answers and accountability from those who intentionally misled the public.
The architect of the Trump Accounts does the math live for Maria Bartiromo on what a $10/week investment becomes over time.
BRAD GERSTNER: โIf you start with $1,000 and itโs matched at birth and you saveโฆ $10 a week.โ
โItโs $50,000 at age 18โฆโ
โ$200,000 at age 30โฆโ
โAnd itโs $1,000,000 at age 55.โ
One of the most offensive ideas in the modern world is that adults are generally responsible for their own happiness and success.
People love to blame everyone and everything except themselves for their misery and failures.
Did you know the news used to regularly air stories about people's lives being ruined by vaccines?
That all changed after Clinton let Pharma buy out the media.
Here I compiled 56 mind-blowing news segments they'd never air today.
