And when people lose jobs because of it, that's the biggest tax of all.

Everyone in Illinois and across the United States, it all feels chaotic… Let’s gather all of our names in one place. Please sign and share. This is a constitutional crisis. We need to show them numbers!

Tariffs a sales tax on what American working class+middle class consumers pay for fruits+vegetables, gasoline, heating oil and what Illinois farmers will pay for potash (87% imports come from Canada).

This sales tax has been imposed to offset the cost of extending Trump's billionaire tax cuts.

amber-joan.bsky.social•105 days ago

Thank you for leading by example and refusing to obey in advance.

On behalf of Illinois, please sue Musk, et al, for taking over our private information at the Treasury Dept!

YES!!!!

I’m so glad the JB is our gov.

kate2425.bsky.social•105 days ago

Can you please absorb Indiana? We need a governor like you.

zeltrongx.bsky.social•105 days ago

This may be a longshot governor, but why not exercise your executive authority and suspend all federal income tax in the state of Illinois to make up for the tariffs imposed by a dictator? I don’t think the people of Illinois will mind seeing their federal income tax abolished.

corpseflowerz.bsky.social•105 days ago

@govpritzker.illinois.gov You make me proud to live in Illinois.

kathleenreads.bsky.social•105 days ago

Elon stealing information on payments to and from Citizens is very frightening. I hope you stay strong. Sue those pricks.

Governor, you are clear, direct and uncompromising when dealing with trump.

Please share that secret sauce with the rest of your party.

jables.bsky.social•105 days ago

He literally tried! Schumer said nah we’re good.

peoriabummer.bsky.social•105 days ago

Illinois should offer to hire the feds Trump is firing. Great civil servants staffing up our state. Positive national headlines for you. This is good advice. Do it!

Thankful for your work Governor!

We will need strong leaders to come out of this and I think they will need to be those leading states not in Washington to do it

dragnalia.bsky.social•105 days ago

Keep standing up to Trump. Someone has to!

jvranas.bsky.social•105 days ago

I see this different - it is Trump’s Tax on Americans, not just “working families”.

Please man stay strong, you are emerging as our last hope for democracy. Tell any and all republicans to fuck off. There are a lot of people who support you and need you in this country.

dynasluyter.bsky.social•105 days ago

Illinois has several auto plants as well as Cat and Deere, and they all rely on parts from Canada and Mexico. Trump's tariffs will make these plants uncompetitive and they may close, and keep Belvedere from reopening. Trump lied- He's not the job creator, he's the job killer!

voyageurs59.bsky.social•105 days ago

Yes! Very well said. Thank you, Governor!

joseortega78.bsky.social•105 days ago

That’s the message we need to get out. Finally someone gets it.

mrgiantrockstar.bsky.social•105 days ago

Get ‘em, JB! Thanks for being a beacon in a sea of poseurs.

Maybe you and Kinzinger figure out a way to make an Illinois split party run for 2028?

Keep up the good work!

We need like 50 more Democrats at the national level with this kind of clarity of purpose in resisting Trump

obsidianblue80.bsky.social•105 days ago

How is he the only one getting tho! I’ve been screaming for weeks to call it a Trump Tax.

mynameisdolph.bsky.social•105 days ago

Kamala called it the Trump Tax during the campaign but no one listened to her for *some* reason.

obsidianblue80.bsky.social•105 days ago

Oh I know. But for some weird reason, the Dems didn’t see her as the head of the party. /s We always look a mess because unlike with the Republicans we don’t face in the same direction. Tester, Brown, and others tried that I did vote with Trump mess and see where they are now.

mynameisdolph.bsky.social•105 days ago

I don’t get why those in the media that were critical of Dem establishments didn’t push the message harder that fighting for what you want is easier in a democracy than an autocracy 🤷‍♂️ it’s almost like a profit motive drives the entirety of their broadcasts… and criticizing Dems is always profitable.

obsidianblue80.bsky.social•105 days ago

I agree. It was bizarre to me. Think too many thought that Trump wouldn’t do what he said he would and if he did Dems would stop it.

mpjchicago.bsky.social•105 days ago

Be the guy Governor! No one in Congress is appropriately screaming, you be that guy. Every day.
Please

@govpritzker.illinois.gov calling it the Trump Tax - make that into stickers, put it on all grocery items, gas pumps, everywhere.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-tariffs-canada-february-1-1.7447829 “U.S. govt's figures show LESS than 1% of fentanyl & illegal migrants are coming from [Canada].” Democrats need to put on their big person pants and SHARE THE FACTS with the American People. @kenmartin.bsky.social

beccaroob2.bsky.social•105 days ago

Fentanyl was the excuse used for emergency measures needed to invoke the tariffs
It’s a red herring at this point

Is anyone organizing opposition so we don't turn into North Korea? Criticism of him is already met with denial and accusations of "TDS". His supporters have been cornered into propaganda instead of journalism. These interviews are just preaching to the choir.

mlco.bsky.social•105 days ago

How can the chair of the president have the power to put tariffs without asking approval from Congress?

Doesn't the USA have a free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico?

Isn't this a violation of that?

People believe this like a cult.

Heyyyy love the message, but single people and people without kids matter and will be impacted too. Can we not always be erased for "working families" talking points. "Working people" is more accurate and real.

Thank you! Working class works real well too!

Can we negotiate directly with Canada/Mexico as a state? I am naive to the complexities of trade, but I recall you did some expert maneuvering to get COVID tests at the beginning of the pandemic… I trust you’ll do the right thing. Thank you

I had way more money in my checking account at month end during Trump’s first term then Biden’s term.

Governor Pritzker, you supported all of Joe Biden’s policies that got us to this position.

Now you become an economic expert? You were on the wrong side of every economic issue for four years.

pragmaticmiguy.bsky.social•105 days ago

Thank you, Governor! Why is the rest of the D leadership so quiet? They need to be on the airwaves nationally and on local TV and radio, Spanish and English, letting people know what is going on. Where is our leadership?

daveclarkin.bsky.social•105 days ago

Trump taxing tortilla chips by 25% right before the Superbowl is 100 kinds of stupid.

Thank you for being such a strong supporter of working class families in Illinois. I’m so proud to call Illinois my forever home! I would like to do more to help. We must all call out the cruelty and ignorance coming from Trump musk and gop!

The Great Lakes States, Northeastern States, California, Oregon and Washington should consider how to work collaboratively in as many ways as possible. Or maybe just join up with Canada. We’re more aligned culturally.
