Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has condemned the federal plans, accusing Trump of attempting to "militarize our cities and end elections."

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “These are not normal times” for the U.S. economy, Jason Furman writes in a guest essay. “While the Fed can help a little, it cannot do too much. The only real solution can come from the institution that caused some of the problems: the White House.”

A Winnipeg man is facing a likely eight-year-prison sentence for his part in a weapons trafficking ring that sold 3D-printed handguns to city drug dealers.
“To Chicagoans, what you can do is look out for your communities and your neighbors, know your rights. Film things that you see happening in the neighborhoods and your streets and share them with the news media. Authoritarians thrive on your silence,” Pritzker said. thetriibe.com/2025/09/trum...
"Trump is showing, with this insane rant, that he fully intends to maximally abuse presidential powers in every way possible to try to rig and swing the midterms. It’s not an accident that this is all happening while he’s militarizing cities." trib.al/ufHfbdA
A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that most of President Trump's tariffs were illegal.

Here's what's happening: They are trying to end elections. Are you hearing this? Nothing is more important in this singular moment than the fact that you are about to lose your freedom. You are about to lose the right to dissent. You are about to lose your right to vote. !FIGHT BACK!
#Rump is bankrupting us ⁉️⁉️
Those Reform nutjobs reminded me: "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."
In the wake of yet another mass shooting, president Trump has mobilized the National Guard to go to the suburbs where these shooters usually come from, authorized the FBI to go after white nationalist extremist groups online, and improved background check requirements.🤡 Of course that's a joke.

Toward the end of The Godfather, Michael Corleone, who has risen to become the head of his crime family, orders the assassinations of the heads of rival mobs. In his second stint as president, Donald Trump has taken the same mob boss stance: settling scores with his perceived enemies.

I don’t want to see his medical records; I want to see his death certificate.
DENVER (AP) — Three women who were among the more than 100 inmates whose strip search videos were allegedly watched repeatedly by a Colorado jail’s former commander are suing him and government agencies, saying they failed to keep tabs on who was accessing the images and why.
Do not come, Donald Trump. You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
President Donald Trump said he fired Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor, amid allegations that she committed mortgage fraud before joining the Fed.
The parents of a 14-year-old boy who died after being found at the bottom of a public swimming pool are suing the City of Winnipeg and four lifeguards.
A prominent economist criticized estimates released on Monday that projected President Donald Trump's tariff policies could reduce the federal deficit by trillions over the next decade.
Q: "You called Kamala Harris a communist. But the Biden-Harris administration never called for nationalizing a private company like you're doing to Intel...Is this the new way of industrial policy?" Trump: "Ya. Sure it is. I wanna try to get as much as I can."
Updated this piece to reflect that Trump said he has fired Lisa Cook, something the Supreme Court said he does not have authority to do.
BREAKING: VETERAN'S BEGIN A SIT-IN IN WASHINGTON DC AND WON'T STOP UNTIL THE MILITARY LEAVES TOWN
President Donald Trump's decision to fire a Federal Reserve governor on Monday sparked outrage online.
There's got to be a talking about how this regime is literally killing Americans. Right? Seems like it's important, at least to me.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Pritzker gets it.
Live in a Blue state? Until it's categorically established there are no kings or dictators in America, your governor is now your president.
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson: ...I can assure you, I am prepared to defend Washington from any litigation the Trump administration wishes to pursue. That's the governor we voted for, doing his job.

More than 180 employees at FEMA sent Congress a letter Monday, warning that President Donald Trump’s efforts to phase out the agency could make way for another Hurricane Katrina-level environmental disaster. trib.al/pk6u670

Proud of my Governor Newsom for standing up to the would be King and his cult in Texas. It’s a new time. When they go low like Texas did, (even stalking their Democratic colleagues), we go right to the fight. As Billy Joel said “we didn’t start the fire”. But we intend to put it out. Blue=Bold
We are now staring down the barrel of a bona fide, definitional fascist takeover of the United States—and the pro-democracy leaders and institutions that remain need to be thinking hard not only about countering Trump, but the litany of failures that feed him. trib.al/eSqQ6N4

Maybe, she has different standards and where ever she saw Trump it was an appropriate situation for her. Its obvious that she did see him there, doing what?? to whom""

A coalition of attorneys general from 20 states and Washington, D.C., is asking a federal judge to stop the DOJ from withholding federal funds earmarked for crime victims if states don’t cooperate with the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts. https://to.pbs.org/4fO8BkW
I suggest Putin showed and reminded Trump what he "had" on him and pulled him back in line......at least this is MY opinion :-)
Oregon Secretary of State declined to meet with DOJ prosecutors to discuss a potential deal to share private voter data with the federal government. He said the prosecutors “cite no legal authority” for their request and “none appears to exist.”
“Violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people,” President Trump said of D.C. Post reporters retraced some of the president’s routes with the goal of seeing his view of Washington firsthand. wapo.st/4fPz3dV
Not only did federal goons show up to try and intimidate our governor, they did so on hallowed ground. Gov. Newsom was speaking at the Democracy Center at the Japanese American National Museum, which I helped found so we do not repeat the horrors and injustices of the past. Shameful.

New episode just dropped
International embarrassment.
A defeated Trump's disasterous press conference seemed to reveal that ZERO was accomplished in the meeting with Putin. Trump looked like he was going to cry as Putin not only mocked him but steamrolled over him. Even state TV Fox News was left speechless. Nothing was mentioned about Ukraine.

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

BREAKING: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announces that he will pursue a court ruling declaring the seats of quorum-breaking Democrats as vacant. More to come. Background: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The Texas House again failed to reach the quorum needed to vote on a new congressional map that could give Republicans five new seats, after state Democrats forced a legislative standstill.

Since the British government announced its intention last month to allow 16- and 17- year-olds to vote, lowering the voting age has captured the attention of teenagers across the U.S. “I get taxed,” said one rising high school senior. “But I don’t get a voice in my representation.”
President Trump has claimed that JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America refused to do business with him for political reasons.
