Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do."

Last year, all 50 governors signed a letter opposing Biden's transfer of Air National Guard troops to Space Force, saying it "disregards gubernatorial authorities."

Now, when it matters most, they are ceding authority and leaving Pritzker, Newsom, and Kotek to fend for themselves.

Making people feel they need to carry citizenship papers.

Invading our state with military troops.

Sending in war helicopters in the middle of the night.

Arresting elected officials asking questions.

His masked agents already are grabbing people off the street.

Separating children from their parents.

Creating fear.

Taking people for “how they look.”

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?

Never in the history of our great country has another President threatened to jail a Governor for disagreeing with him. I stand with Governor Pritzker and hope all Americans do as well. This is authoritarian insanity.

Donald Trump’s not fighting crime, he’s abusing power to attack opponents.

I couldn’t not post this. It deserves a Pulitzer besides being one of the most iconic photos of the modern age. #WesternSpring

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

My own story on the raid is here:

Here’s video of the incident

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Post Traumatic Disorder Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing “intellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pages—but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/washington...

Over the weekend ICE abducted an NIH contractor when he showed up to a courthouse for his green card hearing. He is documented. His wife is a citizen.

He is also member of the skeleton crew of animal care staff that works through a shutdown, to ensure the health and wellbeing of research animals.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Leavitt Can’t Answer One Very Easy Question on Troops in Portland Karoline Leavitt can’t defend the White House’s main talking point on deploying troops to Portland.

Karoline Leavitt says:
"the president has the right to call up the National Guard in cases where he deems it’s appropriate.”

So, why didn't Trump call up the National Guard as our Capitol was under attack on Jan. 6, 2021????

Leavitt's statement:
www.yahoo.com/news/article...

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker explains what he believes is Donald Trump's real goal in normalizing a military presence in U.S. cities by dressing ICE and Border Patrol agents in military gear.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Not happening somewhere else. Here. In America. Right now.

Comey should get a white T shirt that says RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES in big black letters and wear it continually to protect himself from this. They’d never parade him for cameras in that.

Know what would be great counterprotesting on Thursday when Kash wants a perp walk?

Adelita Grijalva and some Epstein survivors talking about the lengths Trump is going to cover up the Epstein files.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.
