YouTube video by Democracy Docket "People Are Going to Die Because of This Bill" | Gov. JB Pritzker on Democracy, the GOP's Budget

I've known and admired J.B. Pritzker for years. He is a true warrior for democracy. I think you will enjoy watching this conversation as much as I did recording it. youtu.be/wwxFVHCTvAA

Why does he think people in rural areas should have access to weather reports but not political information? Isn’t it important to be informed in a democracy or is that reserved for those with individual capacity for access?

I wonder which diversity, equity, or inclusion programs Ian Bremmer thinks are not needed or useful. What authority or other information did he use to come to this conclusion?

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation.

He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths.

In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

Judge in Eric Adams Case Names Lawyer to Argue Against Dropping of Charges Judge Dale E. Ho said that with Eric Adams’s lawyer and federal prosecutors agreeing to end the case, he needed to hear independent arguments.

We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played!

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

The MAGA bunch coming to the inauguration are learning that the billionaires will be warm, cozy and inside while they’ll be ignored and left out in the cold.

Opinion | This is why we have a presidential oath The presidential oath was intended to be a measure of accountability.

“The Founding generation believed that oaths have consequences, binding those who took them to a course of action.”

As applied to the incoming president, that’s unfortunately wishful thinking. If you’re listening tomorrow, let that sink in.

1/ I keep returning to one core thought: civics education really matters. It’s absence, at least in part, is what makes a Donald Trump and a MAGA movement possible.

I realized today that I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.

They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.
