JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."

Thoughts and...Oh, nevermind.
"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?"
WITHOUT MY TARIFFS, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS BACK IN THEIR OWN POCKETS. WHERE IT BELONGS! Thank you for your attention on this matter. MAGA!!!!
NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program that’s built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.

This is all the dress rehearsal for Trump firing Jerome Powell, and the Supreme Court will likely let him do that, too. trib.al/l9NNEKU Even before that happens, Cook’s firing is, as Penn’s Peter Conti-Brown told The New York Times, “the end of central bank independence as we know it.”
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.

And when they say *they* are protecting the country from the people who want to destroy it, they are engaging in pure psychological projection.
Pritzker: "We want more help—civilian law enforcement help. We would like ATF agents to help us take more guns off the street. We would like FBI to coordinate with local law enforcement to help catch perpetrators. If they do that, we'd welcome it. That's not what they're doing."

Everything with Trump is the law of the jungle. It’s hit or be hit. And it’s taken the Democrats a decade to understand Trump steamrolls his opponents who stand by thunderstruck waiting for some referee to call foul. Well, for one Democrat to figure it out, anyway. trib.al/sTw3zi6

JD Vance: “Trump is a really bad candidate and frankly, I think, a really bad person.” { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }

Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether it’s no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.

Garcia: This is a great ruling by the court. Of course, Donald Trump is already overreacting, saying this is going to somehow be the destruction of the United States. I'm not sure if he's aware he's trying to do that all on his own.

Memphis, Houston, and Kansas City all have more violent crime than DC, but the National Guard isn’t there because they’re in red states. It’s a show of force and, more so, a distraction. Trump wants us talking about anything other than his collapsing health and Jeffrey Epstein.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
