J.B. Pritzker: “In Illinois, we raised the minimum wage to $15, but across the country, many are still struggling to get by.”

I do not understand why people caved when we were on the verge of getting real change.

The Trump administration’s illegal actions already have subjected and are subjecting Illinois to serious and irreparable harm.

Peaceful protesters have been hit with tear gas and shot with rubber bullets; journalists simply reporting the facts on the ground have been targeted and arrested; U.S. citizens, including children, have been traumatized and detained.

The Trump administration is following a playbook: cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem like peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them.
