Not only did federal goons show up to try and intimidate our governor, they did so on hallowed ground. Gov. Newsom was speaking at the Democracy Center at the Japanese American National Museum, which I helped found so we do not repeat the horrors and injustices of the past. Shameful.

Today, I’m signing a package of legislation that protects Illinois workers from the Trump administration’s assault on labor. We're restoring the hard-fought protections that Trump and Congress are trying to destroy — it means he can't take these rights away from our workforce.
Governor JB Pritzker (@govpritzker.illinois.gov) reposted
Illinois stands up for the hard-won advances made for workers. The Pullman Strikes. The Haymarket Affair. It has been the people of this state who have led the charge for progress, not just for Illinois, but for the nation. We are ready to do it again — whatever it takes.

I guess we can enjoy the schadenfreude moment when the MAGA cult comes to the realization that they will be the first victims of the orange menace to society's economic policies. Then again, the MAGA sorts may be too stupid to ever realize they reaped what they sowed. Elections have consequences.
