JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

Pritzker: "We want more helpโcivilian law enforcement help. We would like ATF agents to help us take more guns off the street. We would like FBI to coordinate with local law enforcement to help catch perpetrators. If they do that, we'd welcome it. That's not what they're doing."

Why do I keep hearing in the media that the Covid vaccine is available, at least for seniors and limited others? That's BS! A couple of pharmacies said they won't provide it at all again. The last pharmacy said the CDC has not approved the new Covid vaccine and they didn't have any available.
