Congressional Republicans took aim at three high-profile Democratic governors during a House Oversight Committee hearing Thursday, seizing on immigration policy as a wedge issue ahead of the midterms — and as a preview of 2028 presidential battles.

Good Thursday morning, Illinois. And “good vibrations” to all who need it. IN THE HOT SEAT: Gov. JB Pritzker is set to appear this morning before a U.S. House committee hearing to defend Illinois’ sanctuary status on immigrants. It starts at 9 a.m. CT here. He’ll be seated alongside Govs. Tim Walz of Minnesota and Kathy Hochul of New York, fellow Democrats who like Pritzker have called for empathy in managing the migrant crisis while also championing the rule of law.

One of the few lighter moments in today's hearing: @RepFischbach making an aside: "Oversight [Committee] sure is more interesting than Ways and Means."
What a showdown: It was JB Pritzker v. Mary Miller during the Oversight hearing.
