Two very different candidates for governor took the debate stage tonight. Darren Bailey's a MAGA extremist who's accomplished nothing. I’ve delivered for Illinois and will keep our state moving forward. The choice couldn’t be clearer. Join me by texting JB to 62707.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I finally read Jason’s open letter to his donors & correspondents. I’d put it off, knowing I’d get emotional. Seeing myself in his words touched me more deeply than I can say. His friendship is a gift I treasure, and I’m honored to share this letter with you, my BlueSky family.

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"
Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."
