Gov. Pritzker: “This is not about fighting crime. This is about Donald Trump searching for any justification to deploy the military in a blue city, in a blue state, to try and intimidate his political rivals…There is no emergency in Chicago that calls for armed military intervention.”

Oh how I wish Governor Pritzker ended with: “…and this next threatened Trump political stunt is just another distraction to cover up the Epstein Files being completely released”.

Gov Pritzker, thank you for your strength and commitment to your state and pushing back on Trump’s militarization of Chicago. This has nothing to do with crime. This is a dictatorial takeover of blue cities.

Great job JD! September 1st is another No Kings protest day. Hopefully everyone in the country that detests MAGA/Trump/GOP hit the streets that day and demand immediate impeachment of Trump and the 6 corrupt Supreme Court members that are protecting him.

I LOVE Pritzker and I LOVE that he did this. But this speech basically guaranteed Trump will send armed troops into Chicago. Pritzker's response, I imagine, will be forceful.

JD won’t be bullied. He knows Trump will lose his mind. Orange Boy’s mushy brain is getting worse by the day. Maybe he’ll short circuit.

Gov. Pritzker's speech a tour de force and by far the most eloquent, persuasive attack on "America's wannabe dictator" to date.

If it was about fighting crime, criminals would be in prison instead of holding office. It’s about race, power, & politics.
