Pritzker: I’m not going to spend much time at all talking about Trump because it can ruin a perfectly good meal for all of us. But I do need to get something off of my chest… There are too many women in this country who are living under the yoke of tyranny…

Gov. Spanberger on Trump's executive order on dyed diesel: “Who pays that deferred tax and when? Is it the farmer? Is it the vendor?” “If the president and his supporters in Congress actually wanted to meaningfully impact the cost of diesel, they would end the Iran war.”

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.
