Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

Post from President Trump on Truth Social: Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing crime. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT

Cody: I’m just saying, like, if you chew your fingers, and like, you swallow some of your nail or whatever, you’re a cannibal. Ríos: What if you don’t like how it tastes? Cody: Nah, cuz like, I don’t like turkey burgers but I’m a carnivore. ~Deep Thoughts with Cody Bellinger~

Photo of Corey Seager, Cody Bellinger, and Edwin Rios at the dugout railing. Corey chews on his fingers. Cody appears to be speaking with one eyebrow arched. Rios is looking at the camera with a cheesing grin.

If you don’t believe that Trump’s authoritarianism can be defeated, look at how scared MAGA is of chalk:
