Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of recruiting & trafficking minors for Epstein She got 20 years Now after a secret DOJ interview, Trump's DOJ moves her to a "country club" prison The dean of watchdogs, Fred Wertheimer from @democracy21.bsky.social details this travesty below š
That almost makes too much sense
ICE is on track to gain access to controversial spyware designed to hack phones and read private messages after the Trump administration jettisoned a Biden-era order.
He's definitely apologizing for having raped all those women and children.
I hope he doesn't say he's dying in two weeks because then he never will.
FOX BUSINESS: āMy goodness. $5 BILLION. Eye-popping numbersā¦ crypto-friendly legislation coming from the president who is in turn cashing in on crypto. A conflict of interest.ā Even Fox sees how insanely corrupt Trumpās crypto grift is. (H/T @ab21.bsky.social )
"If you stand up in front of cameras for 15 minutes like J.B. Pritzker did and basically say, 'Stay the hell out of my city, you're not welcome here. And if you hurt my people, I will pursue you until the ends of the earth to hold you accountable,' you look strong because you are strong."
BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Trumpās deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles broke the Posse Comitatus Act...barring the military from domestic policing. Order limits troop roles in CA; stayed until Sept. 12 pending appeal. Confirmed by AP and Reuters
Ok, Giuliani is definitely on his deathbed if this is true.
Smart
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us ā the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
The only downside to Trump dying while puking his child rapist guts out is knowing that JD Vance and Mike Johnson are next in line of succession.
When Trump dies and-- rapist that he is-- goes straight to hell, Jake Tapper will still be taking about Biden's age.
Last January, a source shared evidence with me that DOGE was installing devices on govt servers to upload data to the cloud. Some hosts were FOREIGN. On Friday, a whistleblower resigned and came forward to share the same. Listen to what we found in January: www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...
Thread BREAKING: A new 38 page proposal shows Trump & Netanyahu are openly planning to take over Gaza & turn it into a casino & tourism resort. Here are the horrid details, & yes all of this is a violation of international human rights law & further confirms Israel is committing genocide. 1/4
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a āfinancierā? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. Iāve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Something historic is happeningāand no surpriseācorporate media is ignoring it Activists from 44 countries are sailing to Gaza as part of the Global Sumud Flotillaāhistory's largest civilian maritime mission to break Israelās blockade. Here's how to get involved: www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-global...
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
He wonāt let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...

Executive, as in execute the law. Not create the law. A lot of people need to retake high school civics.
Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
My entire scholarly agenda and he just tweets it out
A scotus that understands the law
Once again I ask, whatās it going to take?
The earth is healing

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
I'm glad someone's saying it
It does great narcissistic injury to Trump that despite his best efforts he doesn't get invited to murder club.
They are compromised by America's enemies or willing participants in her destruction
News in this piece: 1) JB Pritzker's health officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines in bulk to distribute to constituents 2) Mass Gov Maura Healey is leading a coalition of mostly blue states that could coordinate purchasing of pediatric vaccines Read all about this here:
If Democrats can't help themselves from conceding to GOP framing on crime, at least use it to point out having a criminal president isn't exactly setting the best example for the populace.
Wait, is Trump selling Melania back to Putin?
Threatening the people who give out the Nobel Peace Prize
when he does finally go i will demand not just the death certificate but the long form death certificate
That sounds fraudy

Because we are among the world's biggest human rights violators now. And allied with not one but two ajudicated war criminals. Well done, maga. You ended the empire.
I don't think a newspaper should be allowed to say that some crimes are fine.
Some? What's McArdle hiding?
Axios: Trump considering stepping back from Ukraine peace talks. WH official: āWe are going to sit back and watch. Let them fight it out for a while and see what happens.ā Truly a smashing success, that Alaska summit.
Every GOP cost should be itemized: prices, lives, diseases
āA 14% price increaseā When Trump & @MarshaBlackburn tell you there has been no inflation, theyāre lying
Trump dying will be the only good deed he's ever done.
I love you but also *incentivized
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of āDid this dictator die or just disappear for a day?ā Weāve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Whatever he is, i just hope "dead" is in the title.

Phillip: The final point from my conservative friends at the table. Since when are conservatives cheerleading for tax increases? Since when is it okay for one man to decide that every person in the United States has to pay a higher tax, and he never has to go through congress to do it?
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

Whereās DOGE now??? š¤š
MAGA Republicans are sniveling cowards. Watch Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) run out the back door at his town hall when confronted by his constituents asking why ICE detainees aren't getting due process. Their lies and lawlessness are being rejected even in red states like Alabama. #OnYourSide
We should have a website with a running tally every GOP-induced death, every abduction, every dollar stolen.
"Weāre looking at a battle between RFK Jr. and Elon Musk for who has racked up the most deaths around the world. Weāre not talking about the hundreds or thousands, but potentially even millions." On the pod @donmoyn.bsky.social is fantastic on CDC mess and Leavitt BS newrepublic.com/article/1998...
A running tally of people killed by Republicans would also be useful.
A lot to get to tonightā¦officials standing up to Trump from the CDC to the Fed to FEMAā¦Will talk with one of the CDC leaders who resigned, a city DA who is not backing down and the oyster man taking Collins on. Plus there was a briefing today and I came upā¦and have some thoughts on that..

#AL01 Rep. Barry Moore tried to lie to his constituents about the higher prices they've been stuck paying, but was drowned out by chants demanding answers about Trump's trade war. "Who pays the tariffs?! Who pays the tariffs?!"
Why is he about 300 times better at this than national Democrats?
Newsom: This cannot be normalized. And yes so I'm highlighting some just just blatant hypocrisy. Yes, we are putting a mirror up to the lunacy that is trump's tweets and his grift.

For the record, i said this data exfiltration would happen pretty much the day that doge started going into our govt systems. As soon as you provide these AI systems any piece of data, you can safely assume that it is being permanently stored in private non-govt databases.
this is doing the thing i hate most in this moment aside from the authoritarianism itself. you are not being savvy or clever when you do this. you are instead paving the way and making it easier for them. stop doing it.
Save the date: A judge just scheduled a hearing for this Friday in the Lisa Cook case. 10am ET.
To every American: you are less than 1 year from permanently losing a people-directed government to a psychopath who covets happiness and integrity so much that he wants to destroy it.
Prediction: In less than 1 year, it will be nearly impossible to get SSRIs or vaccines.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadnāt happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

I used to believe in survival of the fittest before maga.
Trump is taking over Union Station from Amtrak in DC, so I guess we can expect that to look like a gold-plated whorehouse now, too.
Have people forgotten that recall elections exist? Hashtag Solutions no one is talking about.
Does any company who capitulates at this critical moment think we'll forget and go back to them when this is over? We will not. That goes double for politicians.
