If this deeply degrading, wasteful and dangerous stunt proved anything, it’s that the best thing Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace. Immediately.

“Please clap.”

I believe governor Edwards was the last governor to dispatch troops to force slave owners in southern illinois to free the last few slaves in our state.

Pritzker is sending in our own National Guard to deal with with Trump's fascists. A lot of people not from Illinois don't realize we have a very robust constitution and State Sovereignty is our damn motto

He called all these Generals for this? What happened to signal chat??🙄

Ukrainian soldier shoots down an FPV drone just a second before it would’ve hit him.

ICE are wearing masks, be a shame to accidently arrest them for mistaken identity.

The rest of the country needs to do the same and pick your side carefully.

Exactly, any moron who works for Trump is complicit. Period.

I love my state, "state sovereignty, national union"

This morning, I’m thinking about legitimacy—Americans deserve a free press and trust in their government.

deploy the national guard to utah, they have a crime problem.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

I'll leave it at this...

Any handwriting experts out there? Oh wait, we don’t need one because we have eyes…

now we'll see how far maga will go to protect their fellow predators

The better question is whether working people can exist in the city they built.

Illinois politics are always interesting. I love Illinois. "will it play in peoria" ...my opinion, no it won't.

The feds might just run into what they're looking for. I can see it now, khakis with a cuff & crease. Be careful what you wish for.

I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.

Can some chemist invent a pesticide that works on MAGAts already?

I'm not expecting a ton of ICE raids to go over very smooth in Chicago.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been arrested by ICE and faces deportation to Uganda, Trump turns the military on civilians, Trump threatens to prosecute Chris Christie, and the National Guard is now armed. All the news you missed. Subscribe to support my work. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

Today at Mesabi Metallics, we kicked off the first new full-scale taconite mining project on the Iron Range in nearly 50 years. We’re creating hundreds of union jobs and building the green infrastructure of the future. It’s a big deal.

BREAKING: Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was literally forced off a PRESS CALL by cops — mid-sentence. Police told her it’s a felony to speak while on the House floor or even in the damn bathroom. That’s not procedure. That’s authoritarian muscle, in real time.

Abbot won't stand down. It's up to blue states to redistrict or get smoked in 2026, which there may be no way out of forever.

🧪 Since 1998, Scientists have conducted ~40 high-quality studies on 5.6 mil people across 7 countries. No connection btw vaccines & autism was found. These studies were rigorously designed, were evaluated by independent peers & don't have telltale signs of data manipulation, as Geier's work.

Wall Street crooks, Big Oil liars, tech overlords, war profiteers, and political thugs commit massive crimes and never see a courtroom. The Trump regime incited insurrection and walked free. They buy their freedom, silence the law, and laugh while we pay. Justice isn’t blind. It’s bought.

He looks damn pasty to me even for a white man. Besides that, he looks like a child molester.

Everytime Trump or Vance opens their mouths, someone or some group gets fleeced. Now its Ukraine.

Now Trump gets to listen to a two hour history lecture from Putin about how Alaska is really Russia.

What separates us from these Republican states is that California trusts our voters. We don’t play political games. That’s why we’re exploring a ballot measure to let voters temporarily adjust our congressional map if other states decide to manipulate theirs.

Kristy Noem is in Chicago whining about JB Pritzker letting Texas Dems hangout and break quorum.

WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES?????

60 years ago today, the signing of the Voting Rights Act ensured representation for every community in the nation. Trump is attempting to violate that law now to roll back our progress. This isn't just about Texas – this is about America. I'm proud to stand for our democracy.

Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

The Federal government can be sued for civil rights violations too. Happens all the time. Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics

Long before she became the first lady, Melania Knauss - name before marriage - was "very involved" in convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's social circle, and that is how she was introduced to Donald Trump. www.ndtv.com/world-news/m...

What a surprise. She interviews with Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer who moved her to a cushy Club Fed right after it was over, and it just so happens she did not say anything bad about the person who is in complete control of her life right now. Amazing!
