Pritzker: “Democrats want to cut taxes for everyday people.” Also Pritzker: 7% statewide tax on Netflix, concerts, and sports, on top of Chicago’s 10.25% tax on streaming at home. House Democrats pushed that last fall. In Chicago, it would have meant about 17% on streaming and nearly 19% on tickets. Lollapalooza said the tax threatened the festival. Under Pritzker, Illinois now has the highest combined state and local tax rate in America. At least 63 tax and fee hikes. $77 billion in cumulative costs to taxpayers over 8 years. About $1,400 more a year for the median household. “Cut taxes?” More like stack taxes. H/T Mark Hespen | Illinois Insider

WGN: “Thousands of fans will be cheering on some of the world’s best golfers this week for the President’s Cup in Medinah, and people who live near the course are excited for the traffic because it could fill their driveways and their pockets.” Daily Herald: “Thousands of vocal protesters will wave signs and raise their voices in opposition to President Donald Trump’s visit.” Pritzker on Trump’s Medinah trip: “Now, he wants to come here for golf. He is neither wanted here nor needed here.” Chicago or Medinah. He’s still gonna come.

A federal judge just ruled that Pritzker and Illinois Democrats violated the Constitution by giving illegal aliens in-state tuition and state financial aid that American citizens from other states could not get. Those benefits also put them in direct competition with Illinois residents for limited seats and grant money. And yet, JB Pritzker constantly calls Trump a threat to the Constitution. Pinch me. Did Illinoisans just win one? Source: Legal Newsline

Another man stabbed in the neck on the CTA Blue Line in the Loop last night. Brandon Johnson’s safety plan launched March 10, promising 75% more policing and real crime drops. Since then, at least four stabbings and sharp-object attacks have hit CTA trains and platforms. Aggravated assaults and batteries are up 33% year-over-year. Three months in, the only thing rising under his safety plan is the number of stabbings. 🎥 ABC 7 Chicago

Teenagers as young as 13 were caught breaking into the abandoned Congress Theater in Chicago’s Logan Square last night. Two had replica guns. Mayor Brandon Johnson keeps rejecting parental accountability ordinances and stronger curfews. His answer is always the same: more youth jobs, safe spaces, investments, and excuses. But don’t worry, school starts in a week. That should fix it.

The more we learn about the July 4th weekend in Chicago, the worse it gets. 6 killed, 20 wounded, 3 people stabbed. Police were also assaulted while trying to break up a mob action in Garfield Park, and now a driver smashes into a cop car. Under Mayor Brandon Johnson, the streets aren’t safe for residents or police.

Listen to JB Pritzker’s words. Pritzker is saying Trump is sending federal agents to Chicago to scare voters away from the voting booth. Why would legal, registered voters fear going to the polls? Or is he talking about illegals? I thought illegals didn’t vote in elections?

Downstate Illinois is done being ruled by Chicago and Cook County. 33 counties have already voted to explore breaking away from the state, and 7 more will vote this November. They are sick of policies dictated by one region while the rest of Illinois gets ignored. Over 100,000 residents have already fled since JB Pritzker took office. Even Indiana is now looking to absorb some of these counties. Pritzker’s solution? Get up and move if you do not like it here.

Last Sunday, a woman went for an early morning jog on the 606 Trail in Logan Square, Chicago with her husband. He pulled ahead. 56-year-old predator Ricardo Colon attacked from behind. He put her in a chokehold, threw her down, and groped her. She fought back. Neighbors with an aluminum bat stepped in and held the predator until police arrived. Colon told cops he gets the urge to grab women’s butts on the trail. His words: “Why are women showing it if they aren’t going to give it?” Same guy did the exact same thing to his wife in a 2001 domestic battery case in an alley along the 606. This is JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Chicago. Repeat predators prey on women on public trails while the system forces civilians to stop them. Crime is down, they say. Tell that to the women who can’t even jog anymore.

JUST IN: 15 people held at gunpoint in Chicago’s trendy River North, Streeterville, and Lakeview over recent weeks. Robbers forced cash app transfers, stole phones, kidnapped some in a black BMW, and drained accounts on the spot. Right on cue, one stunned local says: “I mean, this is supposed to be a safe area.” Meanwhile, Mayor Brandon Johnson brags that last summer was Chicago’s safest in 60 years while rolling out his new 2026 Summer Safety Plan of youth jobs and safe spaces. Nothing to see here, Chicago. Our “safe areas” clearly just need more investments.

Illinois just discovered its emergency management agency spent $78.5 million on standby pay for contractors who were available but not working. Nearly 470,000 hours in total. $7.5 million of it went to 270 contractors who never performed any actual work at all. The agency never calculated how many people it needed. Instead, the vendor set the headcount and the state simply paid the invoices. Real oversight barely existed. All of this happened under Governor Pritzker, who has raised taxes and fees on Illinoisans more than 50 times. Taxpayers keep getting squeezed for more revenue, while the state spends without restraint. The auditor general only surfaced these numbers years later, and the people who allowed it are still running the show. Zero accountability. Classic Illinois. H/T Mark Hespen

Jimmy Kimmel had JB Pritzker strap on a tactical vest to mock “war-torn Chicago” on his show. He turned real concerns about crime into cheap jokes about the Brewers attacking the Cubs, ketchup on hot dogs, and shallow deep dish pizza. Five months later, 18-year-old Loyola student Sheridan Gorman was brutally murdered near campus. This is the same Jimmy Kimmel who told Melania Trump she has the glow of an expectant widow. He keeps turning crime, violence, and death into punchlines. This isn’t comedy. It’s sick and dangerous. Fire Jimmy Kimmel.

Ten people were shot at a late-night gathering in Washington Park just before midnight. A 35-year-old man is dead. Police were already on scene when it started. UChicago’s trauma center overflowed and other hospitals had to take the rest. It was Chicago’s second-largest shooting of the year. Cops detained someone and recovered a gun. Witnesses still told police they saw someone leave with an AR-15. Pritzker already banned selling those rifles in Illinois. Three weeks ago, Brandon Johnson stood in that same park celebrating art that would “strengthen communities.” He has also called law enforcement a “sickness.” This is the result.
