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."

"When did we become a country where it's okay 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?" Gov. JB Pritzker
Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson says “Chicago will continue to have a violence problem as long as red states continue to have a gun problem.” Mayor Johnson points out if Trump really cared about violence in America, he would work on gun reform not militarizing cities!
Wes Moore is NOT playing: I am the Commander in Chief of the National Guard. I will not authorize the Maryland National Guard to be activated. THIS is how you fight back.
BREAKING: Republican Thomas Massie speaks out against the pathetic release of the already released Epstein documents, equating it to the Binders Trump gave to influencers a few months ask.
🚨Shout out to Austin, TX! They showed up yesterday. My heart smiles thinking about Abbott knowing this is in the heart of “his” state. ✊🏼1/2
I don’t know who needs to hear this but the National Guard of one state can’t invade another state. They are separate sovereigns
If only they would actually follow them instead of displaying them on government property.

“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.

you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
🧵The "Climate Working Group" at Departnent of Energy was Steve Koonin, Judith Curry, John Christy, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer. They are climate contrarians, akin to the antivax scientists RFK Jr put into study the vaccine-autism link. 1/ www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...

It’s corruption, plain and simple.
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?"
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 president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
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."
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
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.
Political theater.
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.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
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."
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?
Where???
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."

Trump’s regime wants to put AI in charge of deciding which Medicare patients receive care — and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong, and Congress must take action. 👇

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?

It's time for the National Guard leadership to stand up for their troops! How dare he not only humiliate them with a fake emergency mission making them deploy to D.C. to pick up trash but also do everything he can to ensure they don't get fully compensated for their deployment?

I believe that 99% of what RFK Jr. does is motivated by: 1. Protecting his ego and vanity. He must convince people vaccines are bad b/c he can’t be wrong. Endless photos of himself exercising b/c vanity. 2. Creating conditions for his law firm to increase profits from suing various companies.
