Pritzker frustrated several of his counterparts by trying to get them to sign on to a group he started postelection to push back on Trump, but only Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed on as a co-chair. Pritzker has his staff exploring ideas such as blocking GPS tracking on apps for women who may be traveling to the state to get abortions, so that there would not be records to potentially subpoena back home. “We all have apps on our phones that track where we go. If an attorney general or US attorney wanted to pull that data and determine whether someone drove from Indiana to an abortion clinic in Illinois, we can protect people and their privacy,” he told CNN.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Quietly? Big boy and others started flapping their soup coolers before the last vote was counted. Now JB is changing his tune and saying criminals need to be deported, something he would’ve scoffed at six million months ago. Like any bully, one swift punch to the gut brings him around.
The IL Dems think that once illegal immigrants enter this country, they instantly acquire many rights that citizens have; these rights are then funded by taxpayers. This is an example of pretzel logic.
What a maggot Pritzker is.
Making extensive plans to protect Illegals and baby murderers. No plans whatsoever to protect anybody else. No plans about pensions, unemployment, real estate taxes or anything that might help you. Is any of this getting through to you idiots?
Kinda like the Covid fiasco, turn McCormick place into a major make shift hospital, stock it to the gills with everything lord fauci says you need , and then tear it down without using it !
Hopefully when Kennedy starts his new position the truth will come out. They vilified Ivermectin as “Horse Paste” and would not let any doctor prescribe it or lose their license. Meanwhile they repurposed Ozempic as a weight loss drug even though that was not its original purpose. Now the may use it for depression since it is a huge moneymaker for the company.
Not one word for 3 years on Vitamin D/probiotics/zinc/B12/etc to help build out own immune systems just the jab and ventilators.
That is JB at his best. Making plans for ridiculous things that are never going to happen like prosecution of women going out of state for abortions or nationalization of local police forces. When those thing’s don’t happen, he’ll claim that if not for his brilliant planning, these things would have surely happened!
The bit about Tim Watlz running for president was the best laugh line of a column packed with whoppers.
As to illegals. Trump just has to ship them to the Governor mansions in Colorado and Illinois (or where ever they are actually living.). Then the fun begins.
Go a negative TD. Give me your real name and justify your response. If you have the guts, which you don’t.
As I said, no guts!
Talk about dividing the country, such childish individuals with Pritzker the head child.
A petulant child who wants to run the country. Heaven forbid!
