I love elves so I don't want to be too harsh towards Mike Johnson but he’s the worst Speaker in a long line of awful Republican speakers and that includes Dennis Hastert and Newt Gingrich.

The Trump Administration is betraying every American who relies on the Great Lakes.

The President must uphold his stated commitment and deliver the federal funds for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project.

Illinois has done its part — it’s past time he does his.

This Republican Congress had its chance to limit Trump’s reckless war. Instead, they chose to let him continue his bellicose and deranged assault that increasingly endangers the whole world. History will show their sycophantic failures are central to this broken era.

We all know how Trump’s Iran War ends. With the military doing what they were ordered to do very well, Trump failing to achieve what he promised, costing taxpayers a fortune, America’s standing in the world diminished, higher gas prices & inflation, with Trump declaring victory.

The scariest words in horror used to be “He’s behind you.” Now it’s “He’s president again.”

So then WHY are we using AI in healthcare if it “underrates” 52% of the time?

The “suffering” was in their warped & miserable heads.

Trump Removes Sanctions on Russia to Help Oil Flow Amid Iran Conflict

1. Donald Trump starts a war with Iran, deeply unpopular with the American people, that causes oil prices to spike.

2. Trump allows Russia to sell its oil at those inflated prices, giving Russia far more money for its war with Ukraine.

3. Trump is Russia First.

Tweet from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:
Justice has been done.

I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them.

This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled.

The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas.

I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path.

The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.

I've read accusations that Donald J. Trump is a pedophile from thousands of people.

Odd, how the notoriously litigious Trump hasn't filed even *one* lawsuit for defamation.

It's almost as if a lawyer told him that truth is an absolute defense in defamation cases . . .

Illinoisans can't afford more chaos from Trump.

The Supreme Court was clear that his tariffs were illegal — now it’s time for Congress to check his power.

I'm joining my fellow governors to call on them to block his tax on working families.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Donald Trump owes Illinoisans $8,679,261,600.
