Gov. JB Pritzker on ABC: "He certainly has the power of the presidency. He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution. And so am I afraid? I am not afraid. Do I think that he could do it? He might. But as I've said before, come and get me I mean. You're dead wrong, Mr. President."

That’s quite a telling statement, Stephen Miller. I guess you’re calling all the shots now?

Tweet from Sky Marchini: “‘I’.”
Below is Acyn’s tweet quoting Stephen Miller on CNN: “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice, sleepy southern town, is anyone going to riot?”
Screenshot shows Miller speaking on the right and the interviewer on the left, with the headline: “Illinois & Chicago sue Trump over Natl Guard deployment.”

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

This may be my favorite image from Portland so far.

The chicken suit guy noted how the right wing social media influencers accompanying Noem described Portland, and affluent foodie town, as “looking like a third-world country. It’s just clearly not.” donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

Post from Noem's social media guy: "BREAKING - DHS Sec just stared down violently Antifa rioters" and its just a picture of a guy in a chicken suit

The government has been shut down for nearly half a month.

Insurance costs are doubling for millions of families.

And you’re still trying to rewrite history on the first bipartisan vote to impeach a U.S. president?

Put down your phone and focus on ending the Trump shutdown.
