Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on President Donald Trump saying that him and Chicago Mayor Johnson should both be "jailed":

"He's a coward. He says a lot of things to the camera. He likes to pretend to be a tough guy. Come and get me. Come and get me."

Ha no, I send many of these in my professional capacity and was just wondering if the tool would be available to streamline that. I appreciate it, though!

Any chance or way you'd make it available for others to use?

Is this a tool you're creating??

Lolololololololololol

History repeats.

Some of the finest bozos around.

Trump officials discussed sending elite Army division to Portland, text messages show A high-ranking White House official was indiscreetly texting about the Portland, Ore., planning last weekend, according to messages shared with the Minnesota Star Tribune.

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Well, sure, but that still doesn't mean they know exactly what you do hahaha

That is, think of Marbury. Do we really think the Roberts Court is going to give Trump a chance to defy its orders on anything major? I have my doubts. So, yes, the admin cares about rule of law....but they're also hell-bent on pushing that as far as it can go.

I don't know that you should take it personally, even if they intend it personally. The way the public views this is far different than how we as lawyers do. Even then, I think there's room for nuance with your point, too.

In other words, Schumer and the Dem establishment were hilariously wrong about this the first time a shutdown was a possibility. Just like many were screaming at them.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.

Carr is killing this program because AT&T does not like the precedent of government offering poor children free internet access they believe their families should be overpaying for.

But Carr can't just SAY this, so he had to make up a bunch of bullshit about what the program actually did.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

I think I need to turn off the internet for today.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

Just to take stock: the first claim was that there was an entire literature supporting the anti-birthright position. Then, *after* that claim, scholars emerged to post drafts on SSRN. And *now* the government points to a "growing body of modern scholarship" all drafted after the initial claim.

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

This is an extremely damning piece. Wow.

Bluesky is a wild place because my feed is like:

-BREAKING: Trump authorizes Department of War to attack US citizens on streets of Chicago

-BREAKING: Trump administration to claim Constitution has a secret clause that excludes all minorities

-BREAKING: JJ McCarthy not expected to play vs Browns

Ilan Wurman once again profoundly embarrassing the University of Minnesota Law School.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it? 

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism. 

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

If the government shuts down, it's because Republicans chose to shut it down rather than work with Democrats to pass a responsible budget.

Is this the current cheapest sub or the cheapest sub before the price increase? Because in reality their losses skyrocketed because of that price increase (although it would be somewhat mitigated by expected cancelations bc of price inc)

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

This right here truly displays the power of bigotry. They voted directly against their own economic interests.

Did you try not destroying those markets in the first place?

Feds in military gear flood downtown Chicago; top border official says arrests based on 'how they look' The immigration agents were spotted making arrests in downtown Chicago and River North neighborhood early Sunday.

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look"
