Eight years ago, Illinois faced the nation's biggest fiscal challenge — budget turmoil, unpaid debt, and a credit rating downgraded 24 times. Now, we're in the strongest financial position in decades — 8 balanced budgets, 12 credit-rating upgrades, and no overdue bill backlog.

Eric Schmitt knew that he had nothing. But he thought he could spin it as a normal “investigation” and hoped to damage Jack Smith’s reputation. But everyone sees through it. He deserves to be dragged for his dishonesty, lack of integrity, and complete stupidity. Missouri – vote him out in 2028

I’m calling on my fellow public servants - Democratic and Republican - to reject the influence of AI and Big Tech spending in our politics and elections.   Americans deserve full confidence that our federal government focuses on their safety, not on companies' profit margins.

Creepy Nazi Mike Johnson says his nightmare scenario is Democrats taking over Congress and actually investigating the orange felon and fascist republicans for the endless crimes they’ve committed against the United States. Sounds great to me scumbag, let’s add jail time to that.

Such misinformation/false accusations would be sanctionable in a court proceeding. These two attorneys should never be able to escape such a degree of professional misconduct. This was easily avoidable--if anyone cared whether it was accurate before Schmitt beclowned himself.

We’ve paid down more than $12 billion in debt, eliminated the old bill backlog, and grown our Rainy Day Fund from near zero to more than $2.5 billion. We have given Illinois a stronger financial cushion to protect taxpayers, invest, and grow even during hard times.

PLEASE NOTE on the recent SCOTUS per curiam decision: existing law blocks most states from purging their voting rolls within 90 days of an election. This decision is not likely to impact the midterms, and also the use of the SAVE program (different from the SAVE act) is VOLUNTARY.
