BREAKING: We secured a court order requiring the State Dept to preserve & account for Signal messages of senior national security officials, including Sec. Marco Rubio. This is an important step to force accountability for an admin that’s shown alarming disregard for transparency required by law.
Rep. Stansbury: “What we heard today is a cover-up. A cover-up potentially involving foreign countries and foreign actors. As you will find out in coming days and weeks, this goes all the way to the top. Because there’s happen to be a very powerful person who doesn’t want these stories out.”
The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction for disputes between states (meaning they can actually file the lawsuit there, rather than have it go up on appeal). This would be a good time for Illinois to utilize it.
Chicago officials are preparing for what could be an imminent federal immigration enforcement operation, involving ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and possibly National Guard troops.
A stronger, safer, more united Europe. That is what Europeans want, according to the Eurobarometer published today. They want more action on Europe's security & competitiveness. They want a Europe that keeps transforming lives. That is what @europarl.europa.eu will keep delivering.
It is embarrassing
Really?
Call impeachment on Trump
We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
The Democratic party leadership is only concerned with finding moderates who don't rock the boat too much – and that's the exact opposite of what we need and what this time demands.
Because fascist Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and was not stopped, Russia was able to bring its asset Trump to power in the United States in 2016. Because Russia launched a broad offensive in 2022 and was not stopped, Russia brought Trump to absolute rule over the U.S. in 2024.
Marvelous
So pathetic! “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”
ICYMI: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s administration "willfully" broke federal law by sending National Guard troops to the Los Angeles area in early June after days of protests over immigration raids.
A great explainer about what the law says regarding sending un-federalized troops to Illinois from Texas. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...
Our public schools went back to school today with heavy hearts. We can’t resign ourselves to believe that our little ones can’t be safe from guns in what should be the safest possible environment.
Trump murdered 11 civilians, whether they were involved in organized crime or not, doesn't take away their human rights. Trump murdered those people and released the video to boast about it. It's not law enforcement or legal military action, it is simply premeditated murder.
Trump attacks Americans – especially in Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Chicago. He defends Russians – especially when they commit terrorist acts against Ukrainians. Trump is a traitor and Russian asset. He rules over the United States as a governor appointed by Putin.
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

I’d like to believe Rudy’s story about the car crash, but I remember Shop Rite 2022.
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.
Our Russian friends? For the second time in under two weeks, the entire island of Gotland has lost power due to a major outage, impacting 42,960 households, as reported by Gotlands Elnät AB. Gotland lost power just before midnight due to a disconnected link with mainland Sweden.

Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government. We will follow every thread until there is justice.

Pritzker: "We've gathered information from unauthorized, patriotic officials inside the government and from-sourced reporters about Donald Trump's plan, which is to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago."
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.

And I share it!
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the 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?
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
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?"
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
To Chicago comrades & anyone else facing possible federal occupation: The National Guard is standing around for photo ops. DHS, ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, are working with local police to terrorize & kidnap our neighbors. Organize accordingly.

Repeat after me: Trump CANNOT deploy the National Guard to Chicago. He does not have the constitutional authority to do so. National Guard troops, outside of DC, are NOT his to command. So Chicago & my home state of Illinois need to tell Trump to fuck right off.

Political theater.
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
