I've been hearing from farmers to veterans in Illinois who voted for Trump that they're worried their benefits are being cut.

Many of them are showing up to say enough is enough.

Meanwhile, Republicans are hiding behind the President and Elon Musk.

Hey governor, why don’t you head out into Mary Miller, Mike Bost, and Darin Lahood’s districts and meet with their constituents? See what their own constituents have to say about their worries?

Pritzker told Jen Psaki on MSNBC tonight that one meeting was in LaHood's district & he was invited. Darren didn't show. Surprise.

When was his last town hall? 2017? Not new from him.

Goes to a bigger problem with the GOP wanting to not be bothered by the people they’re supposed to serve. Well if you don’t serve the people you shouldn’t have the job!

pmpknspcaholic.bsky.social•5 days ago

Bost refuses 2 face his constituents. Has only hosted 2 telephone town halls, 1 of which didn’t call many who signed up. Refuses 2 believe the # of people that r angry. Also stated he has full trust n trump & collins regarding VA benefits so supports the cuts they r making. Shameful!

Pols are correct thinking that voters will forget most stuff that happens 18 months before an election. Not this sh*t, not this time!

Pritzker for president.

Are you letting them know about the April 5th Hands Off rallies? Will you be joining one? Go to https://Indivisible.org to choose from the 600+ currently planned. 💙

Thank you for speaking out, loudly and clearly, Gov. Pritzker.

They’ve been benefiting from Dems for forever all the time dissing us. So. Yeah.

fastkidpunk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh no. The leopard ate my face. No empathy for these people. They made me and my community into some kind of enemy and were perfectly fine with it. BUt THe tRaNs iN the bAthrooms and DrAg sToRy hOur 🤡 Every single one of them can Fk right off.

Maybe all of the Republican reps should show up in disguise.
Maybe a pointy white hood would help.

ireidani.bsky.social•4 days ago

Glad you're fighting for the farmers, but it's really exhausting reading about people who don't give a damn until they are personally threatened by his actions.

trashpanda901.bsky.social•5 days ago

What I want to know is will they still be voting for the same fascist politicians in future elections?

Provided we still have elections.

alleygraphs.bsky.social•5 days ago

Same

ivote4justice.bsky.social•5 days ago

They should be worried. Everything Trump touches dies.

hammerhandle.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for speaking for them. Please invite them to protest with us. Lead demonstrations. The nation needs to see the physical people being harmed.

cmstandring.bsky.social•5 days ago

Take the lead Governor!

better-2b-blue.bsky.social•5 days ago

But wait, aren’t those only “paid protestors” or “fraudsters” that complain about their benefits being cut? Lutnik, Musk, Trump, Vance, and MAGA Mike all tow that line, and dismiss anyone that speaks up. Prove them all wrong, Governor

rckymtn.bsky.social•5 days ago

Assuming there are mid-terms, do those R’s that are up for re-election actually think they’re going to keep their jobs ?

sjbradley.bsky.social•4 days ago

They will in Missouri. 😤

I guess those MAGA folks should’ve thought about who they were voting for in the beginning,darn.

coolrickjd.bsky.social•4 days ago

Good for you. Why don’t you post your speech to the Humans Rights Campaign yesterday? You should be most proud of that speech. https://bsky.app/profile/laurelpowell.net/post/3ll5hos3ufk2g

Fuck them. They voted for this.

We need to bite this problem in the ass and support good journalists so they can surpass Fox and other BS media platforms.

godiswaytruthlife.bsky.social•5 days ago

thank you, governor

godiswaytruthlife.bsky.social•5 days ago

first i thought they would learn a lesson, but now i don’t. with low moral standards, they would think it’s just bad luck, and next time, they will still elect a criminl to be president.
raise america’s moral level and bring moral lessons back to public schools

diplockcourts.bsky.social•4 days ago

How much catastrophic can a president fit into the first 100 days? And we aren't there yet...

robsco69.bsky.social•5 days ago

Cowards are Cowards.
Hopefully their constituents see this and will remove them from OFFICE.
Fill out and send to your Favorite Republican!
Then... VOTE them OUT!!!

j4sonturner.bsky.social•4 days ago

Fuck em.

jrose55.bsky.social•5 days ago

They voted for him because they thought he would only do it to other people. They can fuck off

hypergraphic.bsky.social•4 days ago

A criminal is in the White House, an alcoholic is in the Pentagon and a billionaire, and his kiddies, are stealing vital funds that keep people alive.

Gotham City full of villains.

ttalbot39.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well, fact is, they voted for him and they were warned but Democrats were just too darn woke to be believed.
And I haven’t the energy to dig that deep to find any sympathy for Trump voters that are now being hurt by his policies.
They voted for a lying treasonous RAPIST felon what did they expect?!

mike2ff.bsky.social•5 days ago

Keep fighting the good fight JB.

schroedinger.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hi JB, if you really want to help try asking Senate Dems why they're STILL voting for Trump's nominees. This vote was TODAY!

ecoscholar.bsky.social•5 days ago

I hope what they voted for happens to them personally.

joedowks.bsky.social•4 days ago

I have heard Governor Pritzker try to scare Illinois citizens every day.

Why don’t you spend some time lowering my state income tax, sales tax, and services I have to pay the state instead of running for President?

I believe we're calling it FAFO

coachbpp.bsky.social•5 days ago

Fuck every single one of them. I hope the farmers lose their farms, the vets lose all of their benefits, EVERYTHING. It’s been 10 years of this lying imbecile and just now realize what he is? Bullshit. You only started caring bc it finally is hurting you. Stupidity has consequences.

dlmathe24.bsky.social•5 days ago

They didn't care until it hurt them! Wait until it starts affecting the rest of the maggots! They are so uninformed & ignorant! The problem is they voted on commercials & effing eggs instead of being informed voters. If you don't really know what you're voting for don't vote & then complain! #FAFO
