Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Todayโ€™s ruling in the Abrego Garcia case is important to upholding the rule of law against a lawless president.

Itโ€™s clear Trump would rather deport him to a third country without regard for his due process rights than argue the case in court โ€” but it just doesn't work that way:

This bill that Republicans dragged through the Senate will take funding from public media which is especially crucial in rural areas, cede our leadership on the world stage, and undermine future budget agreements.

This was shortsighted and it is going to hurt the American people.

The longer they wait to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, the more it seems like they're hiding something.

Today @durbin.senate.gov and I sent a letter to AG Pam Bondi calling for the immediate release of the Epstein files โ€” in line with our bipartisan, unanimously-approved amendmentโฌ‡๏ธ

Republicans are trying to jam a bill through the Senate that:

-Cuts $900B from Medicaid
-Kicks millions off their health care
-Raises grocery costs for 40 million Americans
-Adds $4.2T to the deficit

All to cut taxes for billionaires. Rotten to its core.
