After Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called the killing of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman “senseless violence,” her family releasing a statement, “We acknowledge Mayor Johnson’s statement five days after our daughter, Sheridan's murder and his condolences to our family, as well as his recognition of the work of the Chicago Police Department. But what happened to Sheridan cannot be reduced to a “senseless tragedy,” nor can it be explained in general terms about public safety. Sheridan was our daughter. She was 18 years old. She was doing something entirely normal—walking near her campus with friends. She should be here. This was not random. It was not inevitable. And it cannot be treated as though it were. We appreciate the efforts of law enforcement in making an arrest. But safety is not defined by how quickly a case is solved after the fact. It is defined by whether a young woman like Sheridan is protected in the first place. “Our daughter was not in the wrong place at the wrong time. The system failed her.” “Calling this ‘senseless’ is not enough. There must be a clear and honest accounting of what went wrong.” “We are not interested in rhetoric. We are asking for accountability.” We will not allow Sheridan’s life to be reduced to a talking point or a generalization. We expect leadership that is willing to confront hard truths and ensure that what happened to her does not happen again. We stand ready to engage with the Mayor and any public official willing to approach this with seriousness, transparency, and a commitment to real change.”

🚨 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says he's going to "double down" on protecting illegal aliens from ICE even after the murder of Sheridan Gorman: "This tragedy is not going to deter us from our work."

While Tony McCombie and Illinois Republicans double down on their support of Trump and his disastrous policies, Americans are not. Not even in deep red Texas. We will continue to remind Illinois voters who stands with them and the Constitution.

Nearly 7 months in after Illinois Democrats imposed a 50¢ per-bet sports gambling tax—and it’s already backfiring. Per data from the Illinois Gaming Board, Illinois lost 5 million bets to black markets—along with the revenue Democrats sold this tax on. Democrat tax hubris strikes again. 🤡🌎

Thank you Mayor Brandon Johnson for inviting me to speak and introduce the 49th Vice President of the United States of America Kamala Harris. I’m honored to stand with you both and 🐻⬇️!
