Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Mike Johnson says he'll swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social as soon as she wants. Okay, so how about today?

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

Grim @radiofreetom.bsky.social assessment of Trump's march to authoritarianism: He's muzzled intelligence and purged lawyers and cops. "Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip...But for how long?" He's on the brink, and so are we. 🎁

In addition to mass firing of public servants, Musk's team executed a takeover of the Treasury payment system. David Lebryk, the civil servant who was acting Treasury Secretary, pushed back against the Musk official, Tom Krause, who demanded control over the payment system and specifically to pause USAID payments. Lebryk informed Krause that Treasury could not legally stop payments, and recommended to work through USAID instead. Krause then threatened Lebryk: “I would also recommend you consider an equal alternative liability.” By the next week Lebryk announced his retirement, and Musk announced he was shutting down the agency. It was later revealed that the other DOGE official who had sought to take control of Treasury spending, Marko Elez, was a self-avowed racist with a record of making disparaging remarks about foreigners, including “I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.” After he resigned, Musk led a successful campaign to bring Elez back into government, even as he pushed out those doing actual life-saving work.

In a very real and practical sense, the elimination of USAID occurred because a) civil servants who followed the law were pushed out, b) unaccountable amoral people were given power, and c) SCOTUS let it all happen.

Congress loves chaos because it keeps us confused.

They bury bad policy inside “good” bills, then brag about what they passed.

We need a law that says one issue per bill period.

No more political sleight of hand.

RFK Jr. vowed that he wouldn’t take away anybody’s vaccines.
 
Now, the CDC has adopted new guidance from his hand-picked vaccine skeptics—making it harder for families to protect their children from diseases like measles and chickenpox.
 
RFK is putting children’s lives at risk.

The damage done - Nature Medicine When clinical trials are suddenly halted by US funding cuts, there are repercussions for investigators and patients, and they do not stop at borders.

148 clinical trials have been impacted, with 138k patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.

Once research stops, some won't pick up where they left off. Even when terminated funding was reinstated, things do not go back to normal.

There is so much waste happening.

JB Pritzker: “Whenever the president talks about somebody critically, it’s often projection about what he himself is insecure about. Each of the things he said about me, they’re all true about him. I can take it. I am not afraid of this president.”

Governors tap state funds to keep some national parks open during the government shutdown Several states are betting it makes more financial sense to dip into their coffers to keep tourist dollars flowing during the funding standoff in Washington.

I suspect there’s going to be a ruling that’ll eventually focus on Posse Comitatus rather than the calling up the Guard itself. If they’re giving some background support in Broadview, that might be lawful. If they’re actually hitting the streets of Chicago, bigger questions/problems emerge.

Trump has never sounded guiltier than this and that's a high bar

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”
