U.S. Governors

I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump’s acts of aggression against our people.

Call up your troops, or we will.

ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being White. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now ICE is making it commonplace.

I spoke frankly with Jay about my disgust with what he had said and texted.

The comments attributed to Jay Jones are appalling, unacceptable, and inconsistent with the person I’ve known.

I think it’s important, and it’s a message to not only our Republican colleagues, but to the White House.

For Donald Trump, this has never been about safety. This is about control.

We’re going to enforce the law.

The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for keeping it safe.

They suck, and we’ll win, and God will bless us, and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day.

Secretary Noem should no longer be able to step foot inside the State of Illinois without any form of public accountability.

So as much as these local leaders and governors talk about cooperating and have the backs of our law enforcement officers, this is what we have to put up with every single day and all we’re doing is getting criminals and terrorists and…

This is how JB Pritzker and his cronies treat our law enforcement. Absolutely shameful.

We’ve got a demand curve coming at us in terms of the demand for electricity that is literally going through the roof.

We’re putting American miners back to work.

In Illinois, we will do everything within our power to look out for our neighbors, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law.

I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump's acts of aggression against our people.

State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people's ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

I want to be clear: there is no need for military troops on the ground in the State of Illinois.

They will pull hardworking Americans out of their regular jobs and away from their families all to participate in a manufactured performance -- not a serious effort to protect public safety.

It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

This morning, the Trump Administration's Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will.

Jones doesn’t have the morality or character to drop out of this race, and his running mates... don’t have the courage to call on him to step away from this campaign in disgrace.

There is no ‘gosh, I’m sorry’ here.
