Ken Griffin, who was the richest man in Illinois at $29 billion, moved his multi-billionaire hedge fund Citadel from Illinois to Florida. Walgreens and Aldi have also shut down stores in Chicago. The Democrats’ refusal to confront crime and appropriately fund law enforcement has ultimately destroyed the...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 NEW: After "accidentally" forgetting to add the proposed gag order in motion last week, Jack Smith filed it yesterday. This is the furthest thing from a "narrow" order.
