BOMBSHELL: Former Illinois Governor just revealed there are DAMNING FBI Tapes of JB Pritzker that could END his 2028 Presidential run Rod Blagojevich says JB Pritzker is on tape begging to be made a U.S. Senator and going on racist rants. He says JB could be implicated in the same crimes that he was accused of and jailed for. Pritzker also called President Trump demanding to keep Rod in jail. This could end his political career. Should the tapes be released, @realBlagojevich?

Redistricting amendment passes 74-38. It goes to the Senate, which needs to pass it by May 3 for it to get on the November ballot.

HGOP just broke caucus. They’ll go back to the floor to consider the redistricting amendment and perhaps the millionaires’ tax amendment. Then they’ll break for the House Revenue Committee to meet and discuss the megaprojects bill. #twill
