Ugly, dishonest, dangerous, divisive, and completely un-American. But a reminder that Christian Nationalism is a very real and growing threat to our nation.👇

Welcome home to the new Illinois Veterans' Home at Quincy.

This was one of the largest and most important projects in our Rebuild Illinois capital construction program.

I'm so proud to see that promise in action — and make clear to our veterans that our state is on your side.

ha, ha, ha! Is that one sticking to the wall? Just because THEY pay folks to stand up for them - they project same on us. I, for one, was never paid! What I believe can NEVER be bought . My eyes do not lie to me & they cannot take away what I see & hear from their lying blow-holes.

Remarkable final lines to dissent by Judge Graber in 9th Cir openly urging en banc reversal by Ninth Circuit and ending, "Above all, I ask those who are watching this case unfold to retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer."

Proud to be in Fairmont City to celebrate the progress we've made rebuilding our infrastructure.

Our capital plan is truly statewide, reaching every county in Illinois.

And our work continues — more projects to undertake, communities to revitalize, and opportunities to create.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?
