Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Your daily reminder that the last three times the government shut down, Donald Trump was president of the United States and Republicans controlled the House and Senate.
