"When did we become a country where it's okay for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything – especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation – that we treat this as normal?" Gov. JB Pritzker

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

India and China fought a war in 1962 over border disputes. They’ve never been allies, which has been to our geopolitical and economic advantage. Thanks to Trump’s insane tariffs the two manufacturing/pharma/tech giants are teaming up, accelerating their rise…and our subsequent downfall.

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
