Welch’s office initially defended the issuance of the order based on the highly dubious rationale that lawmakers engaging in such conversations could create an ethical breach — even though such discussions are constitutionally protected First Amendment free speech and the speaker’s staff could produce no statutory prohibitions on lawmakers answering questions from reporters at the State Capitol or elsewhere.
Just like the clown that floated the ideas of no drivers licenses or plate stickers and the other one pushing churches for reparations, they are always throwing out something outrageous and hoping that it sticks.

If DJT said the same thing, the howls would be deafening…

The Leftist Democrats and their authoritarianism comes right from the top with Joe Biden. The Red States are the real America, not the Blue States or the Imperial Capitol in D.C.

For once, the Trib actually tried to investigate some Dem shenanigans. The Dems reacted pretty quickly, trying to muzzle the Trib reporter for not going along with the usual “see no evil, hear no evil”, eyes closed. And doubled down, until the optics started looking bad with even their usual defenders in the media protesting. Would like to see more of this investigative reporting of Democrats. (Easy, the Republicans barely exist).

Yeah, this doesn’t make Welch look bad at all. Clown.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
