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?
Who runs the state. The governor of the president? The people have elected you to protect and to serve. So actively have your forces push back the ICE criminals. Make a new law that prohibits officials wearing masks and if they ignore this arrest them if you need and escort them out of the state.
Sanity is questionable. It's balls and spines you're short on.
It’s refreshing to hear a politician speak frankly, honestly, and to the point. It happens all too seldom.
Gee, I remember Trump doing this at the height of a pandemic. Kushner said “we own the PPE” ~ Trump was giving preferential treatment to red states & withholding life saving equipment from blue states. Trump is and has always been a narcissistic monster ~ just ask the 850K+ who died under his watch.
Yes. Florida got more than they requested and Pritzker had to hire secret planes to bring in supplies or Trump would have them commandeered. They thought it would kill the cities and Black people first.
He's going to screw us--the blue dots in red states as well, just hide and watch.
I'm pretty sure Chicago ain't gonna take this shit lying down. It's gonna come to blows. Remember 1968?
100% correct. This isn’t normal.
The media had failed us. They’re hoping Trump stays in power because once he’s gone, the empire of lies and manipulation will fall.
He needs to arrest every texas national guardsman that crosses the Illinois border. Arrest and put them in a tent compound on a lake Michigan Island.
Who is he appealing to? The atmosphere.
But you treat your crime numbers like normal? Where is the logic?
100%
Yo @cbsnews.com @cnn.com @nytimes.com @nbcnews.com … anyone home FFS!? You should realize you’ll likely be unemployed soon with Fox the official leader’s only “allowed” network/news provider. Start screaming!! All ya gotta do is speak truth!!
John Roberts and his right wing cadre at SCOTUS put the trump illegalities in motion with the murky "immunity" ruling.
A majority of American Citizens consider the manner in which Blue States are managed by its governors, mayors, and other officials to be what’s insane. So there’s that.
Your 'majority' was the second smallest in american history. This was no approval for the radical destruction of USA Society & Government. 40% did not vote. 30% voted Democrats _____ + 70% did NOT vote Republican Republicans won with a 1.5% majority.
Rationalize all you like. The U.S. is s center-right country. Black males, Hispanics and other demo groups started trending to The GOP and Trump last November.
Beg him to skip to the part where he's hiding in a bunker with his wife. Save us all the drama in between.
Fortunately, no need to ask him to leave out the dog.
Damn good questions, Gov! The answer to one of them is yes, about 30% of us have lost all sanity. Sadly, they think they're patriots for doing so.
Yes, Republicans have lost all sanity. They are frothing at the mouth for civil war
Sadly, the press won't ask, and in all honesty seems totally indifferent to the course we're heading. I'd be *shocked* if the networks showed more than 15 seconds of this speech tonight. They did, by comparison, spend over a minute on air last week covering a story abt Trump on Mt. Rushmore.
Yes. Yes we have.
Remove the fake President & the fake administration. Stephen Miller is running the show…arrest him first.
Sanity. That's something we haven't had since at least 2016. It's a mass brainwashing. And I'm still dumb enough to hope tomorrow's Epstein victim press conference will somehow move the needle with these people. But probably won't.
Mango Tits is such a baby, that according to what I read he’s doing a flyover (waste of military resources) at the same time the victims are speaking.
Of course he is. What a pathetic attempt. Does he think that if we can't hear them at that second, we won't know what they have to say? Our tax dollars are being spent by a pedophile in an impotent attempt to distract from all the disgusting things he's done.
He should send in the flying squirrels as a distraction!
Pritzker and Wolf Alice have taken over my threads.
Important information please repost 🙏🏼 substack.com/@alisavaldes...
No one thinks this is normal!☹️😡
Yes, the answer is yes we have.
I would rather Illinois secede and resist invasion.
What? Chicago is about to be invaded?
About 9 months ago
We've had covert fascism for a long time now. But finally the mask has been ripped off. We're run by corporations, because corps control the media, which control public info and perception. As Mussolini said, "Corporatism is Fascism."
Dems this is how you do it.
Plain to see how this man got elected governor.

It worked for him before when states had to call and beg him for respirators during Covid
When the voters picked an aging and addled narcissist to be our president. Or did they…🤷♂️ ??? Hmm
Just a cover up for Epstein files
The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" Hey blue states, this IS in the Constitution. Maybe do something with it?
Trump has some of the Supreme Court injustices in his pockets. They need to be booted and let’s not forget #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles
What a difference it makes when somebody says it out loud 😭
Evidently, so
Ever since Miller got back into the White House and began his plans for revenge by using T&#*@ as a proxy
Yep
“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.” - Declaration of Independence, 1776
Get those Epstein files!!!
somebody say it.
Would love to see every single elected official, who agrees, all stand up together to say this shit. Maybe a mass of voices would actually be heard.
When an orange took power.
Not just insanity. He’s admittedly governing only for his voters, stealing money from Dem voters & using our tax dollars to violently oppress and repress us where we live. And GOP & courts let him. It’s beyond insane. It’s beyond unconstitutional. It’s immoral.
He’s drifting off of his own voters, a cryptocurrency that’s his voters and then people Putin
That’s true, but they’re willing targets. After a decade of this, if they still don’t know who & what he is, that is a choice.
*grifting
I think - sadly- the answer is "Yes, we have truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation."
I second this motion. We’re done catering to the whims of that sorry punk. Lock him up!
I am so here for Pritzker. And I want our leaders to go a step farther and call out the people who enable Trump. It's not "we" who are treating it as normal, it's the media, the oligarchs, the GOP who shape the national dialogue this way. Name the enablers.
Every elected Democrat: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN! Shut it down unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full...or SHUT IT DOWN.

He had General Flynn start it in 2020. Why do you think 1/6 happened? All premeditated and all his pardons just added to established private felon army.
There, to me, is something offputting about flags and silent people standing behind public pronouncements of any sort. I'm not a fan of flags to start with. I think of them as tools of war. But I guess for America now it is fitting, as Russia conquered the USA with their own flag waving.
Yes. Yes you have lost all sanity as a nation. And it was done on purpose by forces you've been warned about for years.
We’re aware. And your condescending lecture (especially here where most of us have been sounding the alarm for years) is obnoxious. Being a smug asshole doesn’t make you better than anyone.
You assume I was directing this at you personally? Says a lot that you may want to self examine.
oh do shut up, will you...?
Why exactly and who the fuck are you?
probably someone who's more kind, understanding, and empathetic than you. though, it so far looks like a low bar. 🤷♂️
Where are you from? Because you say “your country” but all your posts are about the US. Did you mean “our country” or are you just above the fray a stateless white dude no connection to any fascists at all
The Bluesky saboteurs are out in full force today it seems. What are you, an instigator bot of some sort? Best if you just move along.
I with you. They are either bots or just people with reading comprehension problems
Hmm maybe. But my ? Remains what blessed nation free from authoritarian racists are they from? Why don’t they post about it if it’s not the US?
I’m a guy telling you you’re full of shit. Now YOU move along to wherever YOUR country is hahahaha best move along STFU
Bwahahah or what? Fuck you.
Block that guy.
No amount of warning seemed to matter. Project 2025? Nah, it’s just rumor and speculation. Don’t worry about it.
You are absolutely correct, and the truth hurts but you are still absolutely correct.
When the current President is another Hitler
Fight him Mr Pritzker, true bloided Americans are with you!
We became this country when the Dems stopped putting up a fight against the right wing nut jobs because the donors didn't want them to. Like for example when Obama disbanded OFA.
GASLIGHTING GASLIGHTING GASLIGHTING
When did we become a nation that all 3 branches of our government have stopped doing their #1 job which is to protect our democracy and abide by our constitution? A country where a collection of evil billionaires can create an organization whose goal is to destroy our democracy? Heritage Foundation
Short answer. Yes. Yes we have and it is infuriating.
Governor Pritzker, kudos for standing up to the bully.

It's not his fucking money. How miserable and unhappy can one be to be so frigging evil.
not normal
The answering course, is yes.😣
Not all of us. Just enough misogynists to have voted that orange necrotic slob back into office
Gov Pritzker not afraid to call Bully Trump out. Take a lesson Dems!!!
No this is not normal but we are not dealing with a normal person. Trump is pure evil, as there is nothing in him of value, not one moment of Decency, not one moment of honor, not one moment of honesty, not one moment of love or care, not one moment of kindness for others, not one moment or joy
Covid PPE ventilators he is evil
He did this with virus protection gear during the covid. Always grifting. No compassion.
😡
I agree with Gov. Pritzker
Trump is s fucking TERRORIST!
Wait… I can answer that!🙋🏻
Not sure many are treating it as normal apart from the cultists?
Yes.
I like this guy.
The ‘states rights ‘ group -MAGA- did a 180 degree turn and became champions of a large, oppressive government. The folks that bought the guns to fight off a dictatorship are now eager to defend a dictatorship. That’s when we started heading down the rabbit hole
Yes, roughly half of the country has lost all sense of sanity. That should have been obvious the moment that Trump won in 2024!
Okay, but what’s the plan?
So far today Trump has: - Is preparing to send armed troops to Chicago - Giving Rudy the Congessional Medal of Honor - Moving Space Command to Alabama - Reimbursing Jan 6 criminals financially This is just today and this is NOT acceptable and NOT normal.
It all sounds impeachable. Too bad we don't have a Congress honoring their oaths.
Yeeees, the insane are in charge!
When? Well, let's see... right about when we allowed a mentally disturbed con artist with no moral compass to take over a political party and propel himself into the Whitehouse. As for the Press, well, if it sells, it sells, right? It's all about the money, so use yours wisely.
Time To Split The Country. Blue states should STOP funding this BULLSHIT.
Good luck America.
Yep...just look at all the delusional idiots out there STILL wearing MAGA hats.
have we lost all sense of sanity that we can watch a video of 11 people being slaughtered and wonder which movie it's most like?
Yes.
Anyone want to bet swollen sacks gets his ass kick by someone in Illinois?
The madness of the rabid MAGA.
Hey, media, he's talking to you, I hope you know.
The Answer: YES! You “lost ALL sense of sanity” the second a majority of Americans voted for trump, KNOWING what a wretch he is…Frankly, there’s enough blame to go back to 2013, when McConnell stole Obama’s SCOTUS. ALL Americans could’ve kept the GOP out on their asses for that stunt. 😡
The Illinois governor should enact the Second Amendment calling the state militia to arms against the national government claiming self defense
... He Is A Convicted Felon Giving Orders From The Oval Office ...
Governor Pork Chop defending drug dealers shooting up Chicago.
Absolutely none of this is normal
Yes , he's a toddler, that's sometimes what they do, seek attention, but also trump is a rapist and is a criminal many times over, and he should be treated as such
Boom 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥love Governor Pritzker
Yes, yes we have.
So proud of Pritzker on this!
Don’s media normalizes him to the country with lies of commission & omission, & it works…..
As a Chicago native, I can tell you Pritzker is an amazing governor AND a gem of a human. Calls it like it is, takes no shit and one of the very few billionaires that cares deeply about people. He does everything he can to help others, for decades. 💙
Which is proof you can be decent and have billions. So those that are not have a moral failing.
Amen!
Jan 6th
Trump is craving a war. One crazy old man with this much power is a threat to all of humanity.
I can’t help but think that Trump’s directive from Putin is to instigate a constitutional crisis that leads to dissolution of the union.
It’s called brainwashing. The right has grabbed power by using bad faith ‘media’ to brainwash citizens into the opposite of common sense or whatever a small number of unqualified extremists on the right say. We need to start attacking propaganda at its sources.
We’re not bootlickers!
since Bush Jr and the Patriot Act
Yes. We have lost all sense of sanity.
You lost your sanity as a nation ages ago! Thanks for joining the rest of the world!
Terrifying isn't it?
Trump and Republicans are forcing themselves on us… as usual.
OVER 85 MILLION OF US REJECT IT AND REJECT TRUMP. He’s a thug and the Constitution is not dead. His EOs, word salad, and tantrums do not change that.
💯💯😡
@govpritzker.illinois.gov activate your national guard and prevent an invasion from the Feds and guardsmen from red states. Before it’s too late.
Don't treat it as normal then, I'm not. This isn't normal.
When the president is a dotard
Keep speaking out, Pritzker and Newsom. Hello, Colorado Governor Jared Polis, why are you so silent? Stand in solidarity with your blue governors.
I have seen more courage and humanity out of the mayor of Denver, Mike Johnson. And the mayor has been subjected to alot of heat.
Johnston
I too appreciate Mayor Johnston. He’s not perfect but he’s also not afraid to really stand up for Denver.
Exactly! Colorado was gerrymandered when Laura Boebert won her new district. Stand up and say something Governor Polis
I write and call him frequently about this and other topics. I praise him when I think he’s made a good decision. Surprisingly he never calls or writes back. 😛
Mr. Gov, The Idiot and his Handlers are baiting you. Stop with the rhetoric of we're gonna 'stop you' shit. Take a page from Mr. Newsom's playbook on how to manage this.
well done IL team!
Dear God, I pray that you deliver pain and anguish upon this man and his Hitleresque cronies. The same pain and anguish that they have inflicted on so many human beings across this great country. Please HURT them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Trump and Miller are domestic terrorists. This has to stop. The military should refuse to follow these orders.
We HAVE lost all sanity in the country. It hurts to say that because my dad taught me to love this country for all the many reasons that every one of us does. dt is doing his best to turn us against each other..we can’t let him. 😪🇺🇸
Give me more pritzker!!!!!
You gotta love Pritzker 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The usa is a sithole full of limp dick pedophiles.
Yes. We have lost our collective sanity.
Yes. We have all been asking ourselves this since you all elected him… again.
Yes we have. The nail was driven home last November and the coffin was buried on Jan. 20th.
I’m gonna say it- I don’t trust Chicago to behave! And I don’t trust that CPD will side with the residents either.
2016… that’s when
Apparently when his pedophile supporters (AKA: pedophiles) are still slurping up the vomit that spews out that shit stained rapist’s filthy fucking mouth.
I am so proud of this man for having the integrity to do the right thing!🙏🏻❤️✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
3rd world country refers to poor developed nations w/ characteristics such as HIGH POVERTY RATES, low Gross National Income, poor infrastructure, LIMITED ACCESS TO EDUCATION & HEALTHCARE, & more importantly POLITICAL INSTABILITY which are the exact characteristics Orange Charlatan brought to the US
Thank God someone is saying it!
No 🇺🇸 is still somewhat sane except for #🍊Felon y’all are bending the knee to - knock it off!
I'm waiting for a leader to tell us to get a helmet, make a shield, grab anything that can be used as a weapon and refuse to let them invade us.
He's getting close to claiming my offer: bsky.app/profile/dbon...
Right around the time Biden told FEMA not to help republicans
Um… yes.
So happy to have Pritzker as my governor!
No jokes. No memes. Just leadership.
It's Unamerican, unacceptable and u wise
Shame on the press. They have truly failed our nation.
Pritzker and Johnson's full speeches should be played everywhere on an endless loop until everyone finally understands what is really happening. It's not about the crime!
Trump’s a delusional clown 🤡 and he’s definitely not the least bit normal. Hang in there JB, you’re doing the right thing by blocking him and his clown 🤡 show from ruining Chicago.
When did we become that country? When the country allowed Trump to grab it by its pussy repeatedly without any consequences. Now trump, the GOP and their henchmen are doing anal on said country 🤷♂️
Yes, the republicans have lost all sense of sanity.
Yes.
Pritzker is doing the work ✊🔥
Doesn't look well though
"Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good." Abraham Lincoln
No, he has lost all sanity along with his insane followers!
George bush withheld aid to Louisiana during Katrina. He was scum
Yes.
Who's treating it as normal?
Name a national broadcaster. No outrage to be found.
Americans have taken a lot for granted for decades, that this can only happen in a third world banana republic. Well… welcome to reality…
We lost our sense of sanity in November 2016.
Kick ass w the truth!
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franklin
I believe some states called for FEMA and he denied them.
I agree , A governor of any state should not have to beg for help

Major cities in RED states have more violent crime per capita than blue states. That's a FACT.
This is a message for @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social I want him to answer this! Answer it before his next long-winded tirade about how the military is a good solution to crime in a city he knows nothing about. (Oh and he can fuck off also)
When? When we let money guide our morals. When we tried to fill the hole in our hearts with things. When we sold our democracy to the highest bidder. When we let a president(Regan) overrule the will of lawful unions. When we bought into the bullsh*t that if we work hard we would be ok. That’s when.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@govpritzker.illinois.gov needs to sue like @governor.ca.gov did
We became that country when millions didn't bother to vote and 49% of those who did wanted a dictator.
And it started before then. We who voted against this have been in the minority for a while.
The press is too scared of getting sued for saying mean things about him, and his press pool is nothing but hand picked MAGA minions, who will never push back, so good luck with that, governor
Sanity. Decency. Normalcy. Gone. Our hearts, minds, souls. Lost. Hard to see this as anything but civil war.
I feel like I think this a lot now but why don’t more Dems sound like Pritzker? He’s saying what needs to be said.
I wonder if Trump is following the Kim playbook: Being an annoying, obnoxious prick/tyrant because it's the only way to get people to actually call him.
Deploy the OH national guard with orders to fire on any invading Federal troops.
2016.
100% in agreement
That’s right. Those are blue dollars that Trump throws around as if they’re his dollars on his wasteful projects, that don’t do any good for our nation or people.
He should be the VP
Maybe ask Corporate Media as they've done EVERYTHING to normalize his Presidency. EVERYTHING.
100% agree. But it’s also American exceptionalism brain rot. Quite simply, we lack both the imagination and historical context to properly understand and conceive of what an authoritarian state looks like here. We’re all in massive denial.
Not all of us. I have known this could happen with orange tvrd since 2015. There's lots of folks who have and are willing to fight thus to the bitter end!
Very true.
Get rid of corporate media
Bought and paid for
Restore the Fairness Doctrine. No media source should be able to publish propaganda and brainwash the willfully ignorant into voting for a child raping traitor.
MSM Shareholder value has nothing to do with journalistic integrity.
Yes
NO! We have not lost all sense of sanity. Millions upon millions of Americans are perfectly sane and we see clearly, the fact that Trump/Republicans must be stopped, no matter the cost. That is the truth America deserves far better leadership than either Trump or Republicans can offer. Let’s GO
Excellent question!
Whatever happened to the gun/rifle obsessed people who falsely claimed they needed them to protect against a fascist gov't? Now is their chance. Silence.
Hey at least we got the details of trash bags being tossed out the whitehouse windows lol. Thanks Fox News. Always asking the important questions. /s
It's not about us. It's about the $'s Trump's Mob wants. Erik Prince has likely made $B's in his Genocide implementations & "training MIL" for Putin, Xinjiang, Myanmar, Israel, etc. over the past 10 years. Prince is a major op in US now, training MIL/Vigilantes & the entire target/arrest process.
