@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp.
Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M.
