My wife warned me not to watch. As usual, she was right. Like many of you, I tuned in to watch Norah O’Donnell interview Donald Trump on “60 Minutes.” Over the span of 40 minutes, I sat in disbelief as Trump was asked a series of softball questions with little follow-up.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

How we have assembled since April: In April: 3 million of us protested at 1,300 Hands Off! events. In June: 5 million of us protested at 2,100 No Kings events. And yesterday: 7 million of us protested at more than 2,700 No Kings events. We have the momentum, and we can't afford to slow down...

Oh wow

Welcome to Illinois, NANO Nuclear! Helping grow our clean energy economy, their more than $12M investment in our state will create new jobs for hardworking Illinoisans and promote innovative strides in the sector.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th. If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Q: "The Republican governor of Oklahoma...said 'We believe in a federalist system...Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma.'...What's your response?" Vance: "I'd say to Governor Stitt... Illinois is a different case from Chicago."

This has real -- I intended to dm "Pam" -- energy.

Congratulations to all the runners today at the Chicago Marathon! I hope you’re taking a moment after crossing the finish line and enjoying all that the best big city in the nation has to offer.

Chicago PD: arrest these motherfuckers threatening civilians. Put them in jail. Let the courts sort it out

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

Billions in taxpayer dollars have become virtually untraceable — raising questions about the legality of Trump’s actions. Some of these funds expire on Sept. 30. If they’re not spent by then, like all funds Congress appropriated specifically for 2025…they disappear. www.notus.org/trump-white-...

ICYMI: The University of Chicago is the number one institution in the US for quantum physics, outpacing both MIT and Harvard. A critical component of how we can drive this technology forward together in Illinois.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Tesla is juicing as much as possible from the US $7,500 EV tax credit before it ends on Tuesday. Nevertheless, the Model 3 is "Available Today" and the Model Y is available between "September and October". Tesla will likely see losses in Q4 2025 and thereafter.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

Missouri's Governor just signed the GOP's illegal map. It will now be sued.

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

No scene in movie history captures the pre-Google journalistic thrill of tracking down a crucial source – and them answering the phone! – more than this 6mins of Robert Redford... youtu.be/Qeemjaosp-E?...

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

Even if this were true, other than Stephen Miller (and Ezra Klein), who the fuck cares what Charlie Kirk thought needed to be done?!

WE ARE NOT THE SAME! Stephen Miller said that Kirk's last message to him was a call to dismantle radical left organizations fomenting violence across the US and he will make this happen in Kirk's name. Right extremists were responsible for 75% of all extremist murders in the US from 2013 till now. 🤨

See below. MSNBC was entirely wrong for firing Matthew Dowd. He spoke the truth. @matthewjdowd.bsky.social

I LOVE that Matthew Dowd is trending! MSNBC is TRASH for firing him because he spoke the TRUTH! #SheShed

Matthew Dowd called a spade a spade and apparently that was too scary for MSNBC. I'm glad he's trending.

@msnbc.com I STAND WITH MATTHEW DOWD. #bringbackDowd

@msnbc.com Charlie Kirk said horrible things and stoked hatred. There's nothing wrong with Matthew Dowd saying that such sort of hatred breads the exact sort of violence we're seeing. It appears Tyler Robinson was part of a similar angry group of right wing extremists. #bringbackDowd

Matthew Dowd was fired from MSNBC for telling Americans the truth!!! Read it again, then let that sink in.

Hey @msnbc.com, you need to bring Matthew Dowd back.

I STAND WITH MATTHEW DOWD

Nice to see Matthew Dowd trending here, with everyone agreeing that @msnbc.com were fools and cowards to fire him for stating the obvious. I’ve deleted their app and hope he finds a new gig soon, I’ll follow 👍🏼

@msnbc I’m waiting for answer too, and an apology to Matthew Dowd. I’ll watch again AFTER

Matthew Dowd only stated what any breathing, able brained person already knew. Charlie Kirk peddled hate, racism, and sexism. @msnbc.com you made a mistake with this one. Your viewership is going to take a hit. As it should. Stand by your people. Defend their right to tell the truth. Do better.

@msnbc.com Now that you have a better understanding of how you hastily and wrongfully fired Matthew Dowd, you can apologize to him, and quietly reinstate his job. It was a mistake, clearly you can see this now.

Matthew Dowd fired. Meanwhile:
