Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

October 18th!! No FEAR!! No Kings!!

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

Pritzker is fighting the abuse of Presidential Power.Today the president called for the elected governor of Illinois and the mayor of the third largest city in America to be jailed. This is textbook authoritarianism.

Plenary authority, the dictator phrase that caused Stephen Miller to stop talking Miller suggests Trump wields absolute power over decisions to send in the National Guard, before suddenly stopping speaking in an awkward interview moment

In the context in which Miller was speaking, his assertion that Trump has “plenary authority” has potentially significant ramifications.

Here's an article on how Trump/Project 2025 has littered the government w/ oil industry promoters, putting them in charge of agencies they want to destroy, like the EPA.

It's just a another intentional case of appointing people who have extreme conflicts of interest to benefit the rich.

Retired Major General: "Our president is slipping intothe depths of self-serving dictatorship." Retired Army Major General Randy Manner spoke bluntly about Trump and Hegseth gathering generals from around the world this week and telling them they will take on "the enemy within."

A reminder of what Stephen Miller said on the air...and caught himself when he knew what he said.

There it is...Trump calls for the arrest of the mayor of Chicago and Governor Pritzker.

So, for all the incrementalists in denial...are we there yet? 🤔
- Did we cross the line into authoritarianism yet?
- Is it fascism yet?
- Is he "joking"?

He & Stephen Miller want civil war.

Bondi gotta go!

OUT WITH TRUMP, MILLER, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK, Jr, Patel, Noem, & their all of the other Trump minions, AND the entire GOP in Congress, & any other Trump loyalists that have infested any level of our government with MAGA extremist criminality & nonsense!

Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy.

"BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations

This is laughable! Kash Patel is hiding corruption when he fires all the FBI agents investigating corruption. He and Pam Bondi will see prison cells one day.

'It is just illegal!' Trump's new threat to government workers shredded by senator Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) shredded President Donald Trump's latest threat to government workers during an appearance on CNN on Tuesday. Coons joined CNN's Kasie Hunt on "The Arena" to discuss Trump's threat to not pay furloughed government workers back pay once the government reopens. Coons's comments...

Don't just vote yes, convince your friends and family to as well. If Republicans keep the House, there's a very realistic chance they refuse to accept the result of any election they don't like, and then we really are in a constitutional crisis. Gerrymandering is bad, but don't unilaterally disarm.

The League of Women Voters of the U.S. & Illinois have issued this powerful statement. In our 100+ years of voting rights advocacy, there has never been a need to speak out against treating fellow citizens like enemies. Sadly, there is now. Stand with us: bit.ly/48jzFH8 @lwvus.bsky.social

NEWS: A top federal prosecutor in Virginia has informed colleagues the she is DECLINING to charge NY AG Letitia James, despite pressure from Trump himself to indict her on bogus charges.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

It is going to take more than hope.

Everyone needs to get active and stay engaged.

Resist at every opportunity

The public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.
