A governor like J.B. #Pritzker, Gretchen #Whitmer, or Gavin #Newsom getting in the ring, to Vice President Kamala #Harris moving to the top of the ticket. “There’s no development in the president’s health that’s making [Biden’s people] more worried than not,” says Smith “But they’re realists”

Wales has a Future Generations Commissioner.

Why doesn't the US?

If we really believe in #ClimateChange and changing the way we act, we need someone in charge...a top-tier cabinet level position or a Congressional caucus whose role is to lead and coordinate with all others.

Pritzker is kicking ass and taking names in #IL.

Here's a new child labor law that forces parents who make money off their young kids on social media to put half away for the child...like actors.

I am kinda wishing Pritzker would run for President. He's the type of smart/savvy/stompy Democrat we need to take on GOP.

Google Co-Founder Among Billionaires Subpoenaed In Epstein-Linked Case — WSJ

Google co-founder Sergey Brin and several other billionaires have been issued subpoenas by the US Virgin Islands as part of a civil lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase over the bank’s ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, informed sources have told the Wall Street Journal.

Other tycoons to have been approached include the executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels, Thomas Pritzker, real-estate mogul Mortimer Zuckerman, and investor Michael Ovitz, the outlet reported.

The sources said that the subpoenas from the attorney general of the US Virgin Islands seek any communications and documents related to JPMorgan Chase and Epstein from some of the wealthiest men in America.

The reasons Brin, Pritzker, Zuckerman, and Ovitz are being asked for data as part of the case “couldn’t be determined,” the WSJ noted.

In his state of the state address yesterday, #Illinois Gov. JB #Pritzker slammed "demagogues who are pushing censorship" in schools and libraries — an attack aimed at #Florida Gov. Ron #DeSantis and his allies.

Yesterday IL Gov. J. B. Pritzker gave his annual budget + State of the State message to the legislature, and to the people.

I've excerpted two segments of coverage from this address, because they stand in stark contrast to what other governors have said and done recently. (links in the next post)

The sale of assault weapons is now banned in #Illinois.

Gov. JB Pritzker signed the law last night, which he says will help put an end to senseless killings. He hopes it sends a message to the #gun lobby, too.

#Pritzker plans to talk to other #governors and D.C. folks to push for similar action nationally.

Reminder: The #House passed an #assault #weapons ban last year when #Democrats were in control, but it couldn’t pass the #Senate filibuster threshold.

#Illinois governor signs ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/illinois-governor-signs-ban-on-assault-weapons-and-high-capacity-magazines/

#Illinois Gov. J.B. #Pritzker signed into law a bill banning the sale and distribution of #assaultweapons and high-capacity magazines on Tuesday evening. The ban takes effect immediately.

The House voted 68-41 to approve the Protect Illinois Communities Act #PICA last week, and the bill passed the Illinois #Senate by a 34-20 margin on Monday before heading to Pritzker's desk.
