    Julia Louis-Dreyfus kicking off a panel of eight women governors: “This is so cool. We are very honored to have eight highly intelligent, highly capable women leaders for the 21st century with us, or what JD Vance might call a coven of semi menstruating witches.”

    Gov. Pritzker just put out a very long statement about the plane crash in which he calls Trump "unfit to lead during moments of crisis," and says the Trump admin must be asked: "Did Elon Musk play a role in the removal the former FAA director who had bipartisan support?"

    Illinois Gov. J.B Pritzker says his staffers have been in contact with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's staffers, whom he described as being "wholly uncooperative." He says, "What the the governor of Texas is doing is disgusting and it needs to stop."

    The 300,000 masks the White House sent Illinois were the wrong ones. @GovPritzker asked for N95 masks. They sent surgical masks. "While we do not have the final count on this yet, I can say with certainty that what they sent were not the N95 masks that were promised," he said.

    Pritzker: "To anywone who intends to come take away the freedom and opportunity and dignity of Illinoisans, I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior. You come for my people. You come through me."

    Gov. JB Pritzker is combing through thousands of pages of Project 2025, shoring up legal resources and finding ways to further expand reproductive rights and environmental protections — all while he explores his own political future.

    My Blue Line O’Hare bound train is squeaky, squeaky clean for the DNC. Like I’ve never seen it like this. Did they… shampoo the seats?

    A cheeky response from Gov. Pritzker’s office about DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s visit to Springfield tomorrow: “Note: We would urge all pet owners in the region to make sure all of your beloved animals are under watchful protection while the Secretary is in the region.”

    Pritzker: "I can't emphasize enough how much we need the federal government to step up and amplify the size of their PPE deliveries to Illinois and frankly across the nation."

    Pritzker on what he'll do if Trump mobilizes the military in Illinois: "Well, it's illegal. He can't do it. We won't request military assistance here in the state of Illinois. I can't imagine why any governor is going to do that. This is, it's ridiculous."

    After more than three hours of debate, the Illinois House votes 66-47 to pass recreational marijuana legalization measure. It now heads to Gov. Pritzker's desk, and he's vowed to sign it. Once signed, Illinois will become the first to approve cannabis sales via the Legislature.

    "Anyone who thinks they can come into this state and try to force some right-wing, MAGA, war on a woman's body, you will never get an inch of Illinois," Pritzker says in his victory speech. His GOP challenger Darren Bailey hasn't conceded yet.

    Gov. JB Pritzker: “Donald Trump's administration is lying to you. The White House's attempt to walk back what they did today does not match what we saw on the ground. They assured us that Medicaid would not be affected. That was a lie.”
