DC is a federal enclave. It isn't a testing ground for anything. DC got limited home rule only 50 years ago. Before that it was totally under the control of the federal government. Worse case DC goes back to pre-1975 federal rule, which there are people alive who remember what it was like.

Most of the news sources have already been silenced, or close to it. Propaganda prevails because it was fixed by the boys behind Trump. The ones with all the money have threatened, cajoled, bribed, whatever they had to do. It’s done. Take everything with a grain a salt. Seek out trusted sources.

Normalizing a military presence in blue cities can have an effect on voting even if elections are held. But public opinion can counter that. If people hate it and see it for what it is, they’ll stand in long lines and tolerate harassment to vote.

I think it's that he's not afraid. He has personal security, his wealth, and it shows because he neither fears nor grovels at Trump. Governor Pritzker doesn't need anything from Trump except for Trump to obey the laws. Pritzker is honorable, caring, sane and humane. No wonder Trump hates him.

His wording stands in pretty sharp contrast with that of Chicago Mayor Johnson, who just signed an order specifically disallowing the cops from coordinating with ICE.
