Pritzker is a potential Democratic presidential hopeful. His party is pining for someone to show defiance to Trump. And since one of his possible rivals for the 2028 Democratic nomination, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, is leading the fight back, it’s good politics to show he’s just as tough.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker blasted President Trump as a "wannabe dictator" Monday, accusing him of trying to "occupy" Chicago with National Guard troops after reports of a possible deployment to the city.

President Donald Trump said Illinois' governor should be asking for National Guard help in Chicago — a request the governor has made clear isn’t forthcoming.

President Donald Trump is making sure to share – repeatedly – a recent government analysis that shows his sweeping array of tariffs is expected to reduce the federal debt by $4 trillion over the next decade,

Trump’s tariffs could cut the U.S. deficit by trillions, but economists warn of consumer costs, trade tensions, and uncertain fiscal outcomes.

President Donald Trump on Monday said he has fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, according to a letter addressed to her posted on his social media — the first instance of a president firing a central bank governor in the central bank’s 111-year history.

Wall Street's main indexes opened slightly lower on Tuesday, pressured by a rise in longer-dated Treasury bond yields after U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to fire a Federal Reserve governor renewed concerns about the central bank's independence.

President Trump told Lisa Cook that he had found sufficient cause “to remove you from your position.” Ms. Cook and her lawyer said they would fight the firing.
