Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

Seems to be a flaw somewhere, that one man can nullify the largest branch of government.

Trump Greenlights Building Nuclear-Powered Sub for South Korea President Donald Trump approved plans for South Korea to build a nuclear-powered submarine at a US shipyard about a day after Seoul pressed Washington to obtain nuclear fuel for submarines.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

“.. The mortgage contract James signed does not prohibit renting out the house, according to POLITICO’s review of the contract and legal and real estate experts. In fact, .. the contract expressly allows renting under certain conditions.”

and what better reason to Impeach Trump!

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Trump DOJ Indicts Congressional Candidate for Protesting ICE She and five other protesters face up to eight years in prison if convicted.

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

The cherry on top is the bari weiss connection to debacle. Her former employee assigned the story as part of the Murdoch's anti-Mamdani push....and you can certainly imagine Bari chomping at the bit to do the same.

Just so we are crystal clear: the last real riot in the United States was on Jan 6th, 2021.

If you know a reporter or pundit (hello Jake Tapper!) who is running with this 'just pass the CR' BS, please remind them of this:

In court in Chicago yesterday, Federal Judge Sara Ellis said she'd seen the videos of regular people going about their business (i.e. NOT rioting) but still getting tear gassed by Trump's federal agents. SCOTUS needs to see the overreach, too. They can start here: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

Oh look, Trump's lying about Chicago again. One of his hype videos about our city actually uses "recycled footage from a months-old ICE operation in Florida...operations in Arizona, California, Nebraska, South Carolina and Texas."

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Kenny Loggins Slams Donald Trump for Using ‘Danger Zone’ in AI Video Bombing No Kings Protesters With Poop: ‘I Request That My Recording Is Removed Immediately’ Kenny Loggins has spoken out against Trump using his song "Danger Zone" in a bizarre AI video of him bombing No Kings protesters with fecal matter.

Do not under any circumstances cross the King of Yacht Rock.

"This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone.’ Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately"

"Please help. Please help. Please help us. We have rights, we’re citizens here, please help us"

My god. This 911 call with a Chicago woman pleading for help as ICE pulls pulls people from their cars, aiming weapons at them is grotesque. Monsters have invaded our city. Monsters.
