#JBPritzker wants a refund for Trump's illegal #tarriffs

"Your tariff #taxes wreaked havoc on #farmers, enraged our allies, and sent #grocery prices through the roof. This morning, your hand-picked #SupremeCourt Justices notified you that they are also unconstitutional."

"On behalf of the people of Illinois, I demand a refund of $1,700 for every family in Illinois."

5,105,448 (households in IL) X $1,700
= $8,679,261,000.

JB Pritzker's Invoice: Payback's a Bitch - emptywheel

Among the reasons why JB Pritzker's demand that Trump make Illinois families whole for the money Trump illegally took from them is that the amount Pritzker demanded -- $1,700 per family -- is not far off the money Trump already promised.
