JB is a total badass. He's everything that poser from CA isn't. Action, not empty words.

Bravo to my TX reps and bravo to JB Pritzker. The guy is a total badass.

This is what fighting back looks like.

The guy is a fighter. He's tough, smart as all hell, and has the resources, personal and political, to put an end to this fascist bullshit.

No way Trump can bully Pritzker. No fucking way. He's even got a hard name to coin the juvenile monikers Trump loves so much.

Plus, Chicago, baby.

Larry Summers says Trump's accusations of manipulated jobs numbers are โ€˜preposterousโ€™ Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers blasted President Donald Trump's firing of a top Bureau of Labor Statistics official.

Who to believe?

Guy who was director of the NEC, Treasury Sec, Chief Econ for World Bank, prez of Harvard, to boot.

Or guy convicted of 34 counts of fraud, who bankrupted a casino, ran fake school scam, failed at every biz from steaks to vodka, raped underage girls.

Texas Democrats head to Illinois to deny Republicans a quorum on redistricting In an extraordinary move brokered with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, dozens of Texas House Democrats aim to deny a quorum as the GOP is set to draw new maps.

It's still too early to talk about 2028, but JB Pritzker is clearly the best of the lot so far. So much better than that poser in CA.

Well done to my Dem reps here in TX. And very well done to JB Pritzker, for standing up against Trump and the corrupt GOP. Fuck 'em.

Working my ass off, getting results, so I decided to reward myself tonight. 2" thick USDA Prime NY strip, baked tater, roasted corn, grilled zucchini with garlic and fine herb, all washed down with a pretty decent Bordeaux.

The only thing that could make it any better is someone to share it with.

How cute. Hegsethโ€™s brother created a memo to put more military on the streets of urban areas to go after immigrants. This memo got leaked by @newrepublic.com. The memo likened immigrants to Al Qaida cartels. Folks, this isnโ€™t bullshit.

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrectionโ€ฆ and heโ€™s the one being investigated?

Weโ€™re not a serious country. Weโ€™re a banana republic with better brandingโ€ฆbut thatโ€™s going to shit, too.

Trump fires labor statistics boss hours after the release of weak jobs report Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."

Trump thinks shooting the messenger will change the weak jobs numbers that came out today. It won't.

He should stop fueling economic chaos rather than attempt to cover up the harm he is causing.

Bears' perfect trade proposal to steal Micah Parsons from Cowboys The Chicago Bears absolutely have what it takes to swing a massive trade for Dallas Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons.

I would love to see Micah Parson in a Bears uniform. The first thing I thought when I heard Parson asked to be traded was he'd be a perfect fit for Da Bears.

Firing the BLS Commissioner โ€” the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality โ€” is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.
