Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok 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?"
Maybe he just needs a shot of sugar water.
Does he have a black eye to go along with his bloodshot, yellow, soulless eyes?
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
A California federal judge has ruled for THE SECOND TIME that President Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles violated the law, stating it performed law enforcement duties that are prohibited for the military. Trump has until September 12th to appeal.

You guys see where this is going? Right?
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.

If they wore a baseball hat to an interview, I’m already a no. I would interview them though. Questions like- who won the 2020 election, would you wear a mask if mandated by the company, how much orange foundation is too much orange foundation.
Let that sink in.
It seems safe to say it's been a tough week for Republicans coming home from the Washington DC bubble.

BREAKING: James Talarico just gave one of the best speeches we've seen this year. Every American needs to see this.
President Donald Trump has threatened to deploy the National Guard to Portland and other cities as a way to fight crime. Yet behind the aggressive talk, data actually shows that most U.S. violent crime has been in a steady decline.
One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.
this is an important moment.
The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.
They’d need like one hundred and eleven large dumpsters for that. That would be the kind of government waste I’m here for.
I never thought I’d see the day where I say FUCK GLORIA GAYNOR, but here we are.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Vive le Sandwich!!!!!
Which is super impressive considering the dumbfuckery we’ve had thrown at our heads every single day for months.
And yet the cult of felon loving morons still won’t listen.
Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."
Oregon's lone Republican Rep. Cliff Bentz met privately with small groups in the state last week, but has no public events scheduled over Congress' August recess.

Take this clip and a camera onto the streets of Dublin or Edinburgh and you'd quickly assemble a feature-length documentary of the most withering insults known to man.

BREAKING: In a massive win for democracy, a Utah judge struck down the GOP’s gerrymandered congressional map. Utah voters demanded fairer maps and politicians must now deliver.
We’re good for the moment. We’ve got smoke from a couple different fires but other than we’re just trying to keep cool!
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Y'all The ICE building in Portland is painting a line in front of their building But they don't even know how to spell government
NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said “special circumstances” may require ICE agents to go into schools. That’s how fascism creeps in: by normalizing fear, making classrooms feel like prisons, and putting children in danger. They don't need to do "wellness checks" in schools.
between this and Not Like Us it’s been a rough couple years
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
BREAKING: The California Assembly has passed a bill to put Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan on the November 4 ballot.
But…bone spurs?
NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom comments on California's new maps moving through the California legislature
Do the crazy people he’s referring to live in a big White House, have multiple felonies, should definitely not be trusted around any child of any age and have a Master who buys his foundation from the company who once made Tang? They aren’t homeless, sure, but they’re the only criminals around DC.
👀 😲wow… stop the fight, it’s a wrap 🥊

The Trump administration is intent on replaying US atrocity greatest hits.
Law students should not interview with these firms.
Red states rely on the money from Blue states to function. This can all be over the second Democratic governors actually wield their power.
Yet another ridiculous step from Trump that will only hurt kids working to learn English. This discriminatory move will impact millions of children, many of whom were born in this country. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
Move the World Cup out of the US! It not safe!
Oh look, Rubio’s State Department is lying again. It must be a day that ends in a y.
The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics
Marc Elias: "JD Vance acts like he is afraid to walk outside Union Station. I mean, there is something very un-alpha male about a lot of the things that they're doing... the whole reason why the National Guard is in Washington, DC is because some dweeb teenage kid named Big Balls got beat up."
Dear Santa….❤️
Gov. Gavin Newsom's bid to redraw California's congressional seats to create more Democrat-friendly districts has a 22-point advantage in support among the state's voters, according to Newsom's longtime pollster.

Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."
I'm not right wing but some of this "woke" stuff is a little over the top [6 months later] Slavery was fine. Your city is under martial law

Oregon will join 20 other states and the District of Columbia in suing the Trump administration over new conditions outlined in federal contracts for states to receive funding through the Victims of Crime Act.
“It’s hard for me to comprehend that I might never see him again,” Roger's friend said. interc.pt/4oIp6D7
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
Last month, we passed a bill to ban congressional stock trading out of a Senate committee—the first step toward this becoming law. I’ve been sounding the alarm for years on this. It’s way past time we got this done!
"FREE DC" chants during the Washington Spirit game (From @wusa9 )
NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning. Please take care when watching.

An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.
Oregon’s Secretary of State declines to discuss a potential deal with the DOJ to share private voter data with the federal government, saying the administration wants to use the data to "silence the people and undermine our elections."

On Monday, a 15-year-old boy with disabilities was detained by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement outside a Los Angeles Unified School District high school. This is likely just one example of what's to come. Blog from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university. One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”
I filed a FOIA request with the FTC to get user complaints about ChatGPT. In one case from Utah, a mother reports her son was experiencing a delusional breakdown and ChatGPT told him to stop taking his medication. The AI bot also told him that his parents were dangerous.
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.
