J.B. Pritzker is 100% right.

Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.

One thing about never-Trump Republicans, during Trump II particularly: They understand that the world they knew is dead.

They have no investment in either reviving the former GOP (because they understand it's impossible) or maintaining the pre-2016 Democratic Party (because it's not their party).

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night.

The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

A book I will always recommend on this broader topic.

Perfect

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

True that

If they can illegally send anyone to an El Salvador prison illegally and not bring them back, they can illegally send you to an El Salvador prison and not bring you back.

How can anyone defend this?

Yep

Me too!

"Even when adjusting for inflation, that amount would be triple the tax increase put in place in 1942 to pay the cost of fighting World War II."

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Because I believe that Jewish Israelis were the primary target of Hamas. From their perspective other folk who were murdered were just unfortunate bysyanders. And why won't you answer my question, whether Israeli Jews matter less than you?

This is so wrong!

No. Are they of less value than you?

I believe that there are many voters in U.S. who hate Trump even more than you hate Trump. Please believe it is the corrupt MAGA regime who has treated Canada so shabby; it is not the American people.

Are you saying that Israel's West Bank policy justified the October 7th attack? Are you saying it justified the rape of the Israeli Jewish women? Are you saying it justified the kidnapping and murder of Jewish Israeli infants? Shame on you.

Repeating something over & over doesn't make it anymore true when done by you than when it is done by Trump. As you clearly have nothing to say I am done responding to you.

No. It is war. It is why it is evil to senselessly start war. When a country is attacked by terrorists; the country will attack back. And civilians will be tragically killed.

99% of Cambodian Viets were killed by the Khmer Rouge. Approximately 66% of European Jews were killed by the Nazis. The reality of genocide is minimized by sloppy propaganda.

According to Al Jazerra Gaza’s population reduced 6 % in the war Hamas started. The genocide by the Islamic State against the Yazidi’s displaced 71%. The genocide against the Tutsi’s killed approximately 60-70% of the Tutsi’s living in Rwanda.

First of all, all war is awful; innocents tragically die. Innocent Gaza civilians died. And innocent Israeli civilians died. All those deaths are tragic. Members of Hamas were killed. Members of the Israeli IDF killed. That is war.

And how did the pro-Palestinian protestors attack on Dems work out for you? And BTW, you can criticize a policy you dislike by not misusing the word genocide.

Retired state DDA here: relationship between Feds & local prosecutors is a more subtle. Although many elected prosecutors do not run on partisan ballots, the relationship between the Feds & local office is heavily influenced by whether there the elected DA is from same political party as Pres.
