ICYMI: Illinois is the first state in the country to mandate public schools offer mental screenings. Next school year, they’ll be required to be offered to grades 3-12 so long as the state has a free tool. What’s the end goal? Our position is that it’s to engage follow up services via BEACON/Google Cloud when you consent to your child having a state controlled file. The cloud uses human centered AI. And you were worried about chromebooks? Imagine 6 state agencies having control over your child’s mental health screening data. Our model policy maintains opt in ONLY policy. awakeIL.com

We’d bet money these kids aren’t homeschooled or attending Christian K-12 schools. Just a wild guess though.
Look at these absolute leftist lunatics outside a Turning Point USA event at Illinois State University, screaming “SHAME,” flipping people off, and holding a sign that says “NAZIS FUCK OFF.” THIS is the Democratic Party. A bunch of green-haired terrorists and absolute psychopaths.

One of the more disturbing components of @DataRepublican's "Democracy Files" is the involvement of Illinois governor JB Pritzker. I wrote the below article to hone in on that particular topic. It's only ~400 words, but I nevertheless did it as an article so I could include supporting hyperlinks. (Some of the links are to some of DR's posts that include a video--you need to listen to the video in the post to understand the supporting documentation.) Please read if so inclined. Our nation is at great risk.

Weitzel: “He served in the military, including 2 tours in Iraq, & was shot & killed in the streets of Philadelphia—American cities are more violent than Iraq, & we still have the DSA, who want to dismantle policing. NEVER!” @FoxNews @CWBChicago @Awake_IL @wlsam890 @chriskrokshow
Thousands of police officers from across the country gathered in Philadelphia to honor Shane Seiber, a 40-year-old officer killed in the line of duty. Seiber was fatally shot on October 10 while responding to a report of an armed man in West Philadelphia. His partner was also shot 12 times but survived. During Tuesday's funeral, Seiber was posthumously promoted to sergeant, recognizing his 10 years with the Philadelphia Police Department and his military service, including two tours in Iraq. The father of two leaves behind his wife, Lisa, and their young children, Finn and Emily. Read more about Shane Seiber's life, service and the officers who gathered to honor him: foxnews.com/us/philly-office…

“They’re clapping for their demise.” Wow. Black Chicago is not playing.
Dear kids and young adults getting out here and about to learn what life is all about… The “vote blue no matter who” Negro is a dangerous Negro. A Negro who refuses to do any research and acknowledge that we are living in different times. The “vote blue no matter who” Negro usually belongs to a megachurch run by corrupt clergy who receive millions of dollars in public funding, while the surrounding communities still look like war zones. They will bring a no-good Black politician like Brandon Johnson into the pulpit and let him make claims about all the investments he supposedly made on the South Side and West Side, with no proof. $2.5 BILLION on the South Side in the last three years! $2 BILLION on the West Side in the last three years! Crime isn’t down. The so-called affordable housing is pushing us out because the rental rates don’t add up for the average person living in those communities. The federal poverty guideline for a single person in 2026 is $15,960 in the contiguous United States. He’s championing affordable housing, but where is the affordability? You see how that man couldn’t even help the 70-year-old lady Tia Ewing interviewed? He’s a Black political puppet who is useless to the people he’s supposed to represent. But because the “vote blue no matter who” Negro is politically ignorant and refuses to acknowledge that this isn’t the Democratic Party it once was, they continue supporting it. In my opinion, it has turned into a party increasingly influenced by foreign interests, LGBTQ activism, anti-American and anti-God rhetoric, and communist and socialist ideologies. You do things like chant “FOUR MORE YEARS” for Brandon Johnson, while a former GD turned reverend keeps screaming, “YOU BETTER SAY IT!” when Brandon isn’t saying anything of substance. It’s one of the saddest things I’ve witnessed over the last four years. To the Chicagoans with common sense, please understand this: I don’t believe Brandon Johnson or anyone affiliated with his political agenda can be trusted. We risk losing our city to greed, outside political interests, and politicians who put their own agendas ahead of the people if we put him back in office. YOUNG PEOPLE, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU HOW TO VOTE JUST BECAUSE OF PARTY LOYALTY! Welcome to Budget season 4 Building better together to get Brandon Johnson Out of office

Who holds bad judges accountable?
I asked Chief Judge Beach in September to reassign Judge John Lyke; he replied that he lacks that authority. He does not — and his statement is false—more soon at @Awake_IL ‘Chief Weitzel’s Dispatch’. @CWBChicago @ChicagoContrar1 @notguiltyCHI @ramblin_ray @AVPMikeFerguson ⬇️

“Pritzker can be called moderate relative to the farthest left of his party. Relative to the cost of living, the pension trajectory, the population loss, and the priorities Illinois families actually name, the label does not hold. The Tribune’s framing treats the organized public-sector interest and abortion as the main story. For a lot of us who have watched the property tax bill climb year after year while loved ones leave, the main story is the tax burden and the slow drain of people who have decided they cannot afford to stay. Those are not the same electorate.” -@Shannon_A_IL via @illinoisreview illinoisreview.com/illinoisr…

Uncancellable candidate @themodpun!
Today, I stood beside my husband, our children, and my best friend and did something I never imagined I’d get to do. I voted for myself to represent my community in the United States Congress. I wish I could fully put into words what that moment meant to me. Seventeen months ago, I stepped into this race as a first-time candidate, not knowing everything this journey would require of me. Today, I can say with tremendous pride that we have run a valiant race. We have traveled across this district, knocked on doors, met incredible families, and worked tirelessly to share our vision for IL-01. I am deeply grateful for every volunteer, supporter, and person who has encouraged us along the way. This experience has strengthened my faith, challenged me in ways I never imagined, and reminded me how much I love the communities I hope to represent. Today wasn’t just about seeing my name on the ballot. It was about standing there with the people I love most and realizing how far we’ve come. Whatever November 3 brings, I will always be proud that we stepped forward, gave this race everything we had, and never stopped showing up. Thank you, IL-01, for being part of this journey. ❤️🇺🇸

Know your rights, parents.
For all my Chicagoan families - my child had to have surgery this summer at Luries, thankfully it wasn't flu shot season. New dangerous policy. Keep in mind you can no longer opt out of consent with the electronic signatures. I make them print things, and I write I do not consent on line items and it becomes a whole fight. I didn't encounter this because this wasn't flu shot season, but this is another dangerous infringement on parental rights. @Awake_IL @ER_MendozaMD luriechildrens.org/en/news-s…

The Chicago Tribune calls Pritzker “moderate.” Illinois families know the reality: we’re drowning in property taxes funding the nation’s worst pensions. Economy and taxes are the #1 voter concern. Everything else is noise. November 3rd — vote like your property tax bill depends on it. @Shannon_A_IL breaks it down 👇

Weitzel, “The @chicagotribune is an arm of the fake ‘criminal justice reform’ movement, really just activism dressed up as a newspaper, certainly not a fair-minded journalist. I'm sure @CWBChicago did their due diligence; wait and see.” @Awake_IL @John_Kass @MorningAnswer
The Tribune has a few "sob stories" about shoplifters who they suggest may go to prison. The paper doesn't name them. We figured out who they are. And let's just say the Tribune left out a LOT about their histories. We'll be giving you the full picture. #ImAjournalism

Stratton mentioned Trump countless times this evening. We didn't hear "Illinois families" from her once.
As a reminder, my opponent he’d “certainly welcome” Donald Trump's endorsement. Unlike Don Tracy, I promise to be a fighter who will stand up to Trump and put a stop to his authoritarian agenda.

The FBI has announced that reputed Chicago gang member Joseph “Troubles” Matos has been added to the”Ten Most Wanted” lust for the 2021 murder of an Illinois National Guardsman. A reward for his capture now stands at $1 million.

We ❤️ you @themodpun !
They said we couldn’t. Then we DID. We launched this campaign as outsiders, without the advantages of an established political machine. We started with a vision, a willingness to work, and a determination to show up even when the odds seemed overwhelming. Since then, we have knocked on doors, traveled across this district, built relationships, raised grassroots support, and reached people who had never heard from a congressional candidate before. I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together. This campaign has tested my faith, my endurance, and my commitment. But it has also reminded me why I stepped forward in the first place. I believe deeply in the future of Illinois’ 1st Congressional District. I believe our communities have tremendous potential, and I want to help restore opportunity, strengthen families, improve public safety, and bring greater accountability to government. I believe we can win on November 3. But I also recognize that the decision belongs to the voters. Thank you to every volunteer, donor, supporter, and family member who has poured their time, energy, and heart into this campaign. They said we couldn’t. We proved we could. And our story is still being written. Christian Maxwell Republican Nominee for Congress | IL-01

I stand in truth and will not be silenced. Thank you @Shannon_A_IL @Awake_IL @AjayGuptaTweets @marsha_mcclary @Moms4Liberty_IL @MarkAVargas who have stood shoulder to shoulder with me since day 1.
Thanks to @MarkAVargas for keeping the spotlight on parental rights and Title IX here in Illinois. He’s referring to my friend @georgas_ni80016 and her courageous effort to protect her 6th grade daughter who was expected to change in a @DPS109 locker room with a male classmate. The admin at the school punished the girls for “bullying” him for recognizing him as a male. Federal complaints to the @CivilRights and a federal lawsuit are pending.
