Ummm … JB, not sure you’re going to convince many people that you know more about health than RFK Jr … Just saying .
RFK Jr’s views are dangerous, misguided, and deeply disturbing. Frankly, his policies will hurt people. I will push back on any attempts to disrupt the health and safety of Illinoisans.

If you don't live in Illinois and are uncertain about what a @JBPritzker presidency would do to the nation, ask a friend or relative who lives here just how bad it is.
JB Pritzker would destroy America, just like he's destroyed Illinois.

4/20: Just kidding. Everyone wear a mask.
11/20: So the spread hasn’t stopped but keep masking.
5/21: If your vaxxed, no more masks.
8/21: Just kidding. Masks back on.
1/22: We meant N95 masks! For everyone!

In Illinois, we follow the law … except when we govern by emergency order for 3 years. Then, we just make stuff up and govern like a dictator.
Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional.
In Illinois, we follow the law.
This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.

Illinoisans pay the highest combined tax rate of any state in the nation, because of you.
Shut. Up.
Donald Trump may want to call this ‘Liberation Day,’ but there’s nothing liberating for those who are grappling with the high costs of food, housing, and utilities.
Tariffs are a tax – a tax on working families, a tax on groceries, and a tax on other everyday necessities.

The problem in Illinois isn't President Trump, it's you.
I’ve spoken to officials from Canada and Mexico this week as a part of my ongoing efforts to protect Illinoisans and keep costs down from Trump’s Tax on Working Families.
I plan on staying in touch as we work together to strengthen our economic ties with both nations.

Don't forget this conversation JB Pritzker had with Rod Blagojevich about filling a Senate seat in Illinois. This is what Pritzker really thinks about African-Americans.
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
Reflecting on these words from Dr. King today. We'll keep working so the arc of the moral universe does bend toward justice.

YOU SHUT DOWN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS FOR TWO YEARS VIA EXECUTIVE ORDER!
Shut up, you absolute obese muppet.
No one should be above the law, most especially the President.
Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.
They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.
