More recently, #JBPritzker welcomed #Texas#Democrats who fled the TX statehouse to delay #Republicans’ partisan redrawing of the state’s congressional districts at Trump’s request.

In #Chicago Monday, Pritzker & Johnson emphasized that the #Trump admin had not reached out about its plans…. Trump acknowledged he hadn’t talked to #Illinois or #Maryland ofcls & at one point Monday said he might not send #troops unless Pritzker asked.

#JBPritzker aides agreed #Democrats have a chance to emphasize public safety policy choices.

A litany of speakers in #Chicago cited drops–some of them considerable–in violent #crime & property crimes in the city. They also highlighted the hundreds of millions of dollars in #Trump admin cuts in federal support for #law enforcement, #housing & other programs that Johnson called “proven solutions to crime & violence reduction.”

“We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence,” the mayor said.

“This is not about fighting crime,” said #JBPritzker, flanked on Monday by #Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson & other leaders, adding that it’s more about “an arrogant little man” trying to “intimidate his political rivals.”

Pritzker, who is seeking a third term in 2026, has been among #Democrats’ most vocal #Trump critics. Weeks into Trump’s second admin, Pritzker compared it to the #Nazi#ThirdReich.

Democratic leaders look to derail #Trump as he threatens to send #NationalGuard to more #cities

#JBPritzker took a water taxi along the #Chicago Riverwalk, past one of Trump’s downtown towers. The gleaming & heavily trafficked tourist district was a deliberate backdrop on the day the #Illinois governor directed a defiant message: “Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here.”

First, progress is slower than we thought. Between 1980 & 2011, global extreme #poverty declined by only six percentage points, from 23% to 17%. During the same period, the number of people in extreme poverty actually increased, from 1.01 billion to 1.20 billion.

Second, #poverty alleviation has not been steady. In the 1990's the poverty rate increased dramatically, during the period when #neoliberal structural adjustment programmes were imposed on many developing countries.
