    Will 25th Amendment be invoked?

    "Pritzker joined an unlikely alliance of conservatives calling for the president’s removal, including former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, former MAGA ally and conservative radio host Alex Jones, and conservative commentator Candace Owens.

    Podcaster Tucker Carlson is also calling on Trump’s Cabinet to reject any plan that would lead to the deaths of Iranian citizens."

  3. #JBPritzker wants a refund for Trump's illegal #tarriffs

    "Your tariff #taxes wreaked havoc on #farmers, enraged our allies, and sent #grocery prices through the roof. This morning, your hand-picked #SupremeCourt Justices notified you that they are also unconstitutional."

    "On behalf of the people of Illinois, I demand a refund of $1,700 for every family in Illinois."

    5,105,448 (households in IL) X $1,700
    = $8,679,261,000.

  4. "Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker called for $1,700 refunds per family after the Supreme Court ruled President Trump’s emergency tariffs unconstitutional, arguing residents should be reimbursed for higher costs tied to the levies. Newsom issued a similar demand."

    JB Pritzker vs Gavin Newsom

    Pritzker is a real leader and Newsom is a cockroach who will throw anyone, even our most vulnerable, under the bus if he thinks it'll score him some points. If the Dems decide to put Newsom up as their frontrunner in 2028 we can kiss that election goodbye, I'm not voting for that piece of shit.

  6. It also requires #hospitals, #daycare facilities & public #universities to institute plans to prepare for #immigration enforcement actions, & bars them from sharing most residents’ info w/ federal agents.

    #Illinois, in the face of cruelty & intimidation, has chosen solidarity & support,” #JBPritzker said before signing the bill…. “Donald #Trump, #KristiNoem, & Gregory #Bovino have tried to appeal to our lesser instincts, but the best of us are standing up to the worst of them.”

    With the longest government shutdown in American history nearing its end, Democratic Gov.JB Pritzker weighed in on the eight Democrats who voted to reopen the government, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s role in leading the party through the shutdown.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker says he’s worried about how President Donald Trump might respond to the growing controversy over documents tying him to Jeffrey Epstein.

    " 'My great fear, of course, is that with the release of that information, which I think will be devastating for Trump, he’s going to do everything in his power to distract,' Pritzker told The Associated Press in a wide-ranging interview on Wednesday. 'What does that mean? I mean, he might take us to war with #Venezuela just to get a distraction in the news and take it out of the headlines.'

    "Pritzker, widely seen as among the top potential Democratic presidential contenders in 2028, also directed some of his sharpest criticism at members of his own party. He said the decision by seven Democratic senators and one independent to side with Republicans in a Senate vote to end the government shutdown was an 'enormous mistake' that played right into Trump’s hands.

    " 'I’ve been on team fight from the very beginning,' Pritzker said. 'And I don’t appreciate when we’ve got Democrats who are caving in and doing basically what the Trump administration wants.' "

    We're all expecting the Child Raping American President to start a war with another country to distract from the fact he is a monstrous Paedophile.

    "Our ally" proudly claims Keir Starmer, currently fighting for his premiership...

    The agents swept through the #Chicago Albany Park & Edison Park neighborhoods, & suburban #Evanston, #Skokie & #Niles Friday morning & afternoon after [dog killer] #DHS Secy #KristiNoem said *enforcement* [terrorist] operations would continue on Halloween despite #Illinois Gov #JBPritzker asking they pause for the holiday.

  12. In a comment in favor of Illinois Governor JB Pritzker asking DHS to postpone their harassment of Chicagoans just for Halloween -- for the kids -- Nicole Koretsky writes:
    "I've always liked Pritzker; I've voted for him without hesitation based on his great policies, and his fiduciary plans that are pulling my state out of the bankruptcy caused by former Republican governor Bruce Rauner. I have always trusted Pritzker. But I have come to treasure him: he has an immutable moral compass; he has indomitable spirit and cannot be intimidated; he has always genuinely given a damn about fellow human beings and as a Jewish person with deep roots in the survivors of the European catastrophe, he has always been finely tuned into the vital importance of the protection of our rights, in the face of the government (any government or party) that would infringe upon them.

    As we Chicagoans cope with this Nazi invasion I am just sitting here feeling thankful that of all of the possible people who could be our governor right now, it's Pritzker.

    Another note: Halloween is big here, but we are a city of about five million if you include the suburbs that are adjacent to the city, and about one and a half million of that population is Latin American. The Dia des los Muertos celebrations here are every bit as big as they are in SoCal, etc, and Nazi Barbie et al know that. And while the administration is the least culturally literate of any in my lifetime, and while they probably don't understand how deeply important this holiday is, especially as their family members are being kidnapped and disappeared and trafficked, and calling on their ancestors is ever more important, they (the new Nazis) know enough to recognize that the brown people will be gathered this weekend, and that they make a good target, just as the Nazis targeted Passover seders, etc.

    I'm not a religious person but I almost wish I were, so I could believe in hell, and pray they burn in it, slowly, for what they are doing."

  13. Democrat #JBPritzker said such raids had “endangered the lives of innocent community members & #traumatized #children”.

    Pritzker’s letter, which was obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times & Politico, came as a federal appeals court blocked an order which would have required a senior border patrol official to give daily briefings to a judge about #immigration sweeps in #Chicago.

  14. A man with a heart vs a heartless man

    #JBPritzker, gov of #Illinois, has urged the #Trump admin to suspend its #immigration crackdown in his state from Friday to Sunday, to allow #children to “spend #Halloween weekend without #fear”.

    In a letter addressed to #DHS Secy, #KristiNoem [dog killer], & the heads of #ICE & #CBP, Pritzker said federal agents were “ignoring their duty to protect the public & uphold the #constitution”…
