I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It was never about protecting cisgen women and girls. This law strips transgender adult male and females of their right to pursue liberty.

The recent Decision of the United States Supreme Court concerning TARIFFS could allow for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to be returned to Countries and Companies that have been β€œripping off” the United States of America for many years to come, and now, according to this Decision, could actually continue to do so, at an even increased level. I am sure that the Supreme Court did not have this in mind! It doesn’t make sense that Countries and Companies that took advantage of us for decades, receiving Billions and Billions of Dollars that they should not have been allowed to receive, would now be entitled to an undeserved β€œwindfall,” the likes of which the World has never seen before, as a result of this highly disappointing, to say the least, ruling. Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible??? PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Bonta: Trump has contempt for the rule of law because it boxes him in. It restrains him and constrains him, as it should.

While criticizing this decision may be a short-term move for him, it’s probably a long-term problem. These are human beings who have memories.

Newsom: He’s a weak president β€” and that weakness is now on display globally. The only card he had left was these tariffs.

His entire economic policy has been mass deportations β€” and that’s beginning to unravel. His broader economic policies have obviously been aided and embedded in these tariffs
