Gov. Pritzker: "There is no emergency that warrants the President of the U.S. federalizing the Illinois National Guard." "Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families."

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

Better headline: "Turns out Trump's okay with socialism."
