Just now finding out he’s a zillionaire, but I guess I’m gonna have to make exceptions for some zillionaires…this time.

I think you might also like (maybe even love) the oyster farmer who is going to send Susan Collins packing. Watch his speech from yesterday at the Fighting Oligarchy Tour (with Bernie). It made my heart sing.

Got a link?

This will get you started.

He’s in good company with progressive wealthy “elites” like FDR & Johnson.

I'll start cheering when he starts breaking off that cheddar for some civilian defense cadres.

He's my Emotional Support Billionaire. He proves that billionaires don't HAVE to be evil. Most of them just are.

My ex worked for one of his family businesses. Very good people.

He is the best governor we've had in my lifetime. His actions saved lives during Covid. He is a great governor.

did you find his toiletgate?

I didn't know he had that much, I knew he had money. He's one that you sure can't tell he's rich. He has common sense and stands for the good of the people. I'm sure not innocent 😇 but definitely my favorite 2nd to Newsom.

Hey, I like Soros. 😉

Same

I’m so very proud to have JB as my Governor. His and his family’s wealth shouldn’t be a factor in deciding if it’s worth having him fight for us. He’s willing to fight for us and confront the fascists head on. It is ok to question his wardrobe choices though…☺️

She is the cousin of current Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker and former US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker.[2] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennife...

But at least he has an actual brick and mortar business, not some ephemeral meme stock or bitcoin.

JB is pretty fair person. He allowed a ballot initiative in Illinois to get rid of our current Flat Tax system, and switch to a progressive system that would have raised taxes on the rich. Unfortunately, it didn’t pass. Rich lobby groups flooded the airwaves with tons of attack ads

The extra-weird thing is his billions are from ... HOTELS. Where have we heard that before? Just goes to prove it's not the hotels or the money that are the problem.

I know, right? It feels wrong, but I like him too

I like him too. But, with zillionaires, I’m always skeptical. Good people don’t become zillionaires. You have to be willing to harm to get that kind of money.

Or you inherit.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pritzke...

Thanks for the link and info! I haven’t dug into the family history yet.

Most of the 11 Pritzker billionaires are generous philanthropists with their own foundations. They’ve generously supported medicine, health, social justice, the arts, children & families & equity causes. Instilled family values? Seems different from most bazillionaires we hear from these days.

His family owned Hyatt Hotels. There seems to be a number of “good humans” in the Pritzker family, including the Govenor JB. He’s doing a great job and standing up to MAGA/Trump. But I really don’t want mega rich people in government.

FDR famously wealthy, dont count people out just because theyre rich!

But you can count on 99.99% of them to vote and act in their wealth's interest, not in the interest of fairness or democracy.

THIS!

Sadly, politicians almost have to be wealthy to get elected. Another political reform the USA needs.

He promised his mother that he would protect the vulnerable. He’s a good one.

this was the clip that won me over. I think the fact that he has the money to fight against other billionaires makes him an unstoppable force for good.

Agree!

Tks for sharing. Never saw it. And I’d like to know how many politicians have ever even used the word “kindness.”

it's clear as day, the ones who care about kindness and the ones who don't

Yes, his family owns Hyatt Hotels.

I miss the era where billionaire’s vanity projects were libraries, schools, and hospitals. 😬

You are one of a kind and so is he!

He's heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune. Not all ultra-wealthy suck; it's how they use their wealth and treat other people. I'm proud of my governor. 👍

He is a kick ass leader. I like him too

I haven't lived in Illinois in over 25 years but he is such a great governor to have there after all those years of corrupt little shits like George Ryan and Blagojevich

Wealth and a heart for what is right and just. What a novel idea.

Me too!!! 2028

Same here.

A truly exceptional leader for our democracy 💙

Zionist

Ditto!

PritzPrez

Me too!

If only he wasn't a billionaire.

Me too!

👍💙🙏💙👍

Republicans like big fat billionaires, let's give them one of our own. He's top of my list as of now.

We need more Governors like him.

Me too

Me too!

💯x💯

Me too!

He doesn’t mince words.

Me too

Have you seen Rep Stansburys press conference from today?! I think Trump is making threats to congress cuz he’s getting calls from some real pissed off rich and powerful people right now

I do too.

Me too

He’s great!

Me too. A no nonsense strength of character.

So do I.

He’s a good fighter for the moment

All those fighting for democracy should as well!

💙💙

You’ll love him if his guard units confront ICE.

I like him too.

Me too. Thank God,him and others are standing up for the truth, not lies, for our freedoms. So sick and tired of that insane sick weirdo in the Whitehouse.

I do too

Me too.

We like him too!! Gov. Pritzker, you lead, we'll follow!!🫡🫶👊👏👏

Gov.*

I went all “Go Gov” when he did that conference! My gove as well💙💙💙

Newsom - Pritzker The next democratic ticket 👍🏼

Yeah, he takes no poop.

There is just so much content over on The Second Bill of Rights' Substack account . . . where to even start? Start right here: thesecondbillofrights.substack.com/p/red-land-b...

ME too. So much so, may but a house in Illinois.

JB is great.

I'm sure we will eventually come down from the current JB Pritzker high--he'll make a misstep or something negative will appear in the press about him--it's years until the next presidential election, plenty of time for god knows what to happen. Let's enjoy him now.

SAME!

I like him, too. All spunk and fighting spirit with none of the transphobia.

Me too. Hope he lasts. Hope Congress and the Courts back him. Don't hold your breath👽

He's a billionaire because his family owns part of the hospitality industry. Not a bad way to be a billionaire.

His family has a history with Trump, involving the Hyatt Grand Central New York,

Anyone who's done business w Trump has likely been burned.

Did not know that. No doubt the mango Mussolini tried to screw the Pritzker family.

I liked him up until he signaled he plans to just let his people get invaded and beaten by Texas while he tells them to "lol film it" Lost me there.

I do, too.

Agree

So do I ❤️ I hope they start selling bobbleheads of him in Chicago souvenir shops. I'd put one right next to the hula girl on my dashboard.

I don't like rich, white men in power... Sorry-not-sorry, @govpritzker.illinois.gov 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ History has not portrayed y'all well.... #SmashThePatriarchy

I do too!

Best governor Illinois has ever had.

I hope everyone does. We need a hero.

I do too. Wish he'd clone himself.

Me too!!!

He is a good egg 🥚.✨💙✨

Ditto!

He’s the real deal✊🏾💪🏾

Me too, Pritzker is a good guy he actually cares about people & he does pull his punches. I thought Tim Walz was a great pick but I’m not going to lie, Pritzker was on my short list.

Nobody is perfect. In a sane world he would be shunned for his support if AIPAC and Zionism. However at the moment he is speaking powerful words, educating people to the domestic reality and dangers we face. He is taking action to combat those dangers. Critical work. Those are voices we need.

I was born and raised in Illinois, and I think he’s the best governor they have had in decades. For personal and family reasons I now reside in Missouri.

I lived in Missouri for 50+ years. I'm soooo glad to be back in Illinois with a governor and senators I can be proud of.

I’m extremely happy that he is my governor. ✊

I do, too. And it kills me, because I oppose billionaires on principle.

Saaaaaame. He makes it so hard.

He’s not your ordinary billionaire!

Don’t we all? Listen to Pritzker & realize you started breathing again.

Me, too! Proud to have him as my Governor.

Me too

I like anyone who is publicly fighting back

Me too!

He's my Governor, and I couldn't be prouder of him right now. Newsom is humiliating the administration in his way, which I love, but Pritzker is just being flat-out defiant and refuting all of the lies and mistakes by this administration to Illinoisans and the entire nation.

It is refreshing to see a politician behave like a leader, speak like an adult, and to show sincere compassion in equal parts to real courage. A man with moral fortitude. Oh, Illinois, you are so fortunate!

Speak like an adult cannot be repeated often enough!

bsky.app/profile/flip...

Yeah. Same.

So Do I.

So do I!

Same but he can’t do anything about the national guard coming to Chicago - unless he’s prepared for an actual fight in the streets

He's a millionaire working for us, not sacrificing us

He has been excellent

Me too. I like having him in the 2028 conversation.

Me too! He isn’t afraid to stand up to the evil man in the White House.

Not all people at the bottom are the same and neither is everyone at the top of the economic scale. I like Gov Pritzker too

Same. 💙

Same

So do we in the Land of Lincoln.

It's nice to see a billionaire with healthy levels of emotional intelligence & self esteem.

Me too

Total fan of JB!

Truly. I live in Florida, so you know what garbage we have in the governor's mansion.

My governor! He is amazing!

Ditto

He is a billionaire who wants to help people. He is wonderful.

Me, too

Me too !!!! A lot

So happy he’s our governor

Same. Thanks for all of your insights Jess, and keeping to it.

I like him too. I want him to be the new president of the country of Illinois.

Same! 💯

Frankly, I'm a gentleman senior citizen, and I love and respect this man so much.

I don’t. I LOVE him!!

I'm a fan of JB Pritzker.

Same

He’s great!!!!!!

Ditto

I think he'd make an excellent president.

Me too!!!! He can win. He has broad appeal to many different people

Me too.

So do I. I think he's presidential material. Will be following him.

I feel like Pritzker and Newsom VP would be extremely bad ass. But I’m old enough to remember Laurel and Hardy 😑 deal breaker ??

Not Newsom. He's an oily politician.

But he’s standing up for our country, and there are many many Americans now listening to him and looking for someone to save us. Just like the orange POS appealed to a certain group (🤮) Newsom appeals to another pissed off/scared group. He needs to stick around to help get out of this mess.

Fine. Help out. Not pres or VP.

🥰🥰🥰

Same. I want him to lead our country and party

America's uncle.

Me too.

Luv my Guv!

Me too!

❤️‍🔥

I like him too.

He is the best gov since Ive lived in Illinois. Granted most go to prison

I can’t wait to vote for him for president

What a difference a river makes.

Me too. My Governor. I live in southern rural red Illinois and the MAGA roams free here calling him names. Truth be known they are pulling for Donald taking over Chicago. Thank God most of the state doesn’t incorporate this mentality.

Then you are familiar with that friend to all, Darren Bailey! He thought he could beat JB. 😄 King of hicks. Mary Miller and her Trump worshipping husband, Chris, both need booted, too. In central IL we deal with boobs that have Pritzker Sucks signs in yard, for years. Go JB!!! 💙 No stopping him.

Also as I mentioned below. We got moved out of Miller’s district. Now in Bost’s. Worthless Trumper.

Oh yes Darren Bailey. All pissed off because he was required to wear a mask during Covid. Then he sued. His signs were all over our county when he ran against JB. Bailey won our county.

He is such a whiner. He's still whining 😄

I forgot about Bailey. He would have been worse than Rauner.

South of I80, is basically Kentucky. Hang in there. Mary Miller is Eva Braun.

We had Mary Miller. She’s in 15. We were moved into 12. Mike Bost. Another Trump boot licker.

Loves to post scripture on Sundays then worships her pedophile president remainder of the week while hating on trans people. I swear she peeps in bathrooms under the stalls.

Pritzker 2028!

Me too

✋👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️

Something *rough and tumble* about him. 🥰

The smart ones of us do…

Yep, we here in Illinois really like him, not perfect, yet he is a kind, smart, honorable man.

Me too!

Yes.

Me too!!!

I was hesitant at first but yes, I do too.

Me too

I hope he runs for president.

I’m very impressed with JB Pritzker. He gives me hope!

I'm proud he's my governor.

I do too, but I don't like the idea of elevating more billionaires at the federal level. We need people that understand what it's like to be "working class" and genuinely want to represent their constituents. They need to reject the game rich people are making them play.

I like our outspoken Dem politicians. Gov. Hochul of NY, Gov. Newsom of CA, Gov. Pritzker of IL, and others have recently been terrific.

And that’s why you can be sure that there are well-funded teams of people taking through his files to try to persuade you otherwise

Me too! He’s my governor 🙌🏻

Same

Because he's thoughtful, articulate, and a little bit pissy when it comes to facism? Yeah. He's the deal. He's also rich enough, legitimately, to not need to grift his constituents.

Same. More Pritzker, less Jeffries @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Me too!!!

Samsies

Me to

He's a billionaire (3.5 billion) and his uncle was an Epstein client (according to now deceased Virginia Giuffre). His family is currently worth about 43.1 billion. So, maybe don't get too excited. Let's call him...useful for the moment.

Good gov. Smart guy. I think he's as brave as he appears to be and he's not afraid of change... that will be important.

Me2

All rational people like JB. He is thoughtful, loyal and steadfast

Pritzker is the real deal.

He is stepping up to the moment.

💯

Pritzker says the right things, but I want to see action. I want to see him copy Gavin newsom. I want to see him forge a solid team with other leaders from other states. I need more than talk.

So do I. My sister lives in Chicago & she loves him too.

He seems like a good egg. I watched the whole press conference today. Well worth it. Very encouraging to hear them speak out and have a plan

I was a fan when he spoke at his congressional state of Illinois when he told us how hitler took over in just like 50 days because of inflation it seems like that’s what happened here? My question is how/why were people so fooled to believe trump would actually bring cost down for working people?

Yup

Me too.

100%.

Pritzger is an American patriot! (He's also a billionaire, so much more impervious to MAGAn threats using $$ against him.(

me too 😁

I'd vote for him as president.

All characters featured in any of my comics or picture, or video are over age 19.

Ditto.

He definitely is calling it as it is.

Me too, and I live in Arizona.

He would make an amazing president.

I love our governor!

Democrats have a pretty strong field pretty much all of them are governors

Rich or not rich , a good heart is a good heart. I like him too.

Sometimes I wish Illinois would conquer Missouri.

Moron. Again. Sigh.

I like him too. I think he’d make a good president.

Me too Jess. 💙🌊🐳🌴

Has my attention.

He's my hero of the day!

Girl same.

Yes, democrats need all good men, especially those who know the laws that Republicans are breaking.

Yeah, I'm still looking for a Eugene V. Debs equivalent but I'm a dreamer because we can do better.

He’s doing great work

Me too

He is great but THEY ARE SICK EVIL SCUM. It’s beyond outrageous that another states national guard is invading another state. This is some seriously insane shit.

It will be interesting to see him against challengers in a primary. He doesn't back down from anyone.

As do I.

Impressive in his refusal to back down.

Same 💙💙💙

Me 2.

It's unfortunate that so many haters post in the news and his FB posts

I do too. I kinda think Gavin is running a distraction, and JB is about to take the ball and go for it. What do you think?

I'm in STL and really wishing JB would annex us.

Me too. I worked for his relatives and they were all incredibly good and decent people.

A lot.

A leader for Illinois and (fingers crossed) the country

For me... President, no. Treasury Secretary, good fit. Reason being is that the Democrats cannot have a billionaire on the ticket if the messaging is about stopping the broligarchy.
