29. Governor JB Pritzker has a great response to this stupidity

Sat Sep 6, 2025, 01:23 PM

Saturday

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois wonâ€™t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
