If you were ready for the holidays the day after Halloween, you are probably super stoked about Spirit Christmas stores opening in Illinois. Unfortunately, Rockford isn't getting one in 2026, but considering how popular Spirit Halloween has become, I wouldn't be surprised if Spirit Christmas eventually made its way to the Stateline.

Illinois Quick Hits: Dems plan to end 'tariff taxes'

Illinois Republicans face fundraising crisis after 2026 midterm losses

Illinois Republicans are licking their wounds after getting drubbed in the midterms, a defeat many GOP donors apparently saw coming long before Election Day. Why it matters: The party that once dominated Illinois politics is struggling not only to win elections but also to attract the wealthy donors who once bankrolled its campaigns. Case in point: Conservative megadonor Richard Uihlein, who poured more than $50 million into Republican Darren Bailey's 2022 campaign and an allied political action committee, contributed just $6,900 directly to Bailey this time around. By the numbers: Bailey entered the final month of his unsuccessful campaign against Gov. JB Pritzker with about $432,000 in the bank, compared with Pritzker's $44.4 million. That's not a typo. That's a nearly $44 million difference. Bailey raised about $1.2 million in the third quarter, while Pritzker spent nearly $24 million during the same period. The big picture: Longtime Republican pollster Rod McCulloch says the party's traditional donors have grown weary of pouring millions into losing campaigns. "The donor class of the Republican Party decided some time ago that Illinois was a lost cause," McCulloch said on the "Crisis Cast" podcast. He pointed to major Republican investments in Richard Irvin's unsuccessful 2022

Illinois Appellate Court Affirms Summary Judgment for Costco Under the Open-and-Obvious Doctrine

A recent decision from the Illinois Appellate Court, Second District, reinforces an important principle for retailers and their insurers defending premises liability claims: when a potentially dangerous condition is open and obvious, a plaintiff’s awareness and creation of the condition and its associated risks may defeat a negligence claim, even where the plaintiff argues that a foreseeable distraction contributed to the accident.
