If President Trump is violating the Constitution every day, then why aren’t Democrats filing articles of impeachment every single day?

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

The Supreme Court has struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, which we've been paying for about a year now. This is good news for the American people - and it's the latest proof that this president, no matter what he says, can be stopped.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Illinois tops Midwest in workforce development, ranks No. 3 nationally Illinois has earned national recognition for its workforce programs, with Site Selection Magazine ranking the state #1 in the Midwest and #3 in the nation for workforce development in 2026.

Illinois has been recognized as the #1 state in the Midwest and #3 in the nation for workforce development.

It’s a testament to the work we’re doing to level the playing field so everyone in our state can access cutting-edge training and good-paying jobs.

Jack Smith wants to testify in public - Republicans refuse.

He wants his depo tape made public - no again.

The second strike boat video? - nope.

Epstein files law complied with? - not today.

Vote on ACA? - maybe next year.

Republicans: Hide, obstruct, lie, delay, deny.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

"I guess I have a very different view of the dangers and real-world consequences of your position than what you explored with Justice Kavanaugh. My understanding was that independent agencies exist because Congress has decided that some issues, some matters, some areas should be handled in this way by nonpartisan expertsβ€”that Congress is saying that expertise matters with respect to aspects of the economy and transportation and the various independent agencies that we have. 

"So having a president come in and fire all the scientists and the doctors and the economists and the PhDs and replacing them with loyalists and people who don't know anything is actually not in the best interest of the citizens of the United States."

Of the 1,895 people ICE detained in Illinois, 1,271 lacked any criminal record and only 28 had been convicted of a violent crime.

It was never about going after the β€œworst of the worst." It has always been about weaponizing and normalizing racism.
