Just saw a Tootsie Pop commercial...talk about getting full value, they have aired that same owl my entire life

Another day.

Another presidential threat to jail two of his political opponents.

What will it take for Republicans in Congress to speak out?

While we still have a democracy left.

If you look at the sheer insanity of what government officials and agencies openly post on XShitter, it becomes abundantly obvious how much the press is complicit. If Dems did even a fraction of this poasting it would be saturated in news coverage.

Omg. Schumer has to go.

Chicago is not the enemy. Fellow Americans are not the enemy.

Attorney General Bondi is enabling President Trump’s war on Americans.

New on MSNBC: Trump's new acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan has recruited prosecutors from outside her office to take James Comey to trial, after being unable to find any federal prosecutors in her own office willing to pursue the charges, according to two people familiar with the selections.

Texas National Guard arrives in the Chicago area Texas National Guard members have arrived in Illinois. City and state officials say Donald Trump is using them as “political props” in Chicago.

The Texas National Guard has arrived in the Chicago area despite the repeated objections of Illinois officials.

The GOP has done nothing on healthcare in the 21st century other than stop Dems from improving it. Literally nothing.

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Mayor Brandon Johnson signs executive order establishing ‘ICE-free zones’ • The TRiiBE Johnson is calling for a full investigation into “all of the brutality” that federal agents have conducted this past week.

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

It’s not even 10 a.m., and so much has unfolded in Chicago:

– Illinois sues Trump over the National Guard deployment

– Mayor Brandon Johnson bans city property use for immigration enforcement

– Journalists and protesters sue the feds over Broadview violence

The Illinois lawsuit to block Trump's troop deployment cites his "Apocalypse Now" post.

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

The leader of this country has gone completely mad.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops. I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

MEMORANDUM OF LAW I. INTRODUCTION Yesterday, this Court recognized that the legal principles at stake in this case “go[] to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the United States.” Opinion & Order Granting Mot. for Temporary Restraining Order (“Order”), ECF 56 at 2. Applying those principles, this Court concluded that Defendants likely lacked authority to federalize Oregon National Guard members and ordered Defendants to halt federalization for 14 days. Defendants filed a notice of appeal last night (Ntc. of Appeal, ECF 57), and they have now asked the Ninth Circuit to stay the effect of this Court’s decision. Not content with this Court’s or the Ninth Circuit’s judgment, Defendants are now in the process of circumventing this Court's Order. After this Court ruled that 10 U.S.C. § 12406 could not justify federalizing the Oregon National Guard to deploy them to Portland, Defendants have deployed members of the California National Guard to Portland—servicemembers who were federalized under that very same Title 10 authority for deployment in Los Angeles. That redeployment is illegal: Setting aside whether the underlying federalization order from August violated Section 12406, the federalization order clearly did not contemplate the use of California

NEW: California joins Oregon and Portland in asking Judge Immergut for a SECOND temporary restraining order blocking the Trump admin from "circumventing this Court's Order" by deploying the federalized California National Guard to Portland. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
