Look we could post some quippy response to this but I’m fine to let the GOP elite look at falling polling numbers & growing internal dissension over their overreach and decide the best response is “do some pushups.” Like ok man you sound like a 9-year-old & the voters kind of hate it.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

Ok fair enough. I can appreciate that. Just please be aware that my feelings about the Eagles will never be rational.

Anne Caprara @annecaprara.bsky.social · 1d

Sir please don’t “but actually” this sports fan. Do you actually think I apply the same logic and reasoning to my job as I do to the superstitious and deeply delusional world of rooting for my favorite sports team? Thanks for the compliment to my boss - I occasionally have a hand in what he does.

The Eagles are bad. We aren’t going back to the Super Bowl looking like this. At least I can end my recent run of being positive about Philly football which let’s be honest has been very personally uncomfortable.

Every year the Eagles play an absolutely terrible Giants team and manage to make them look good.

Anne Caprara @annecaprara.bsky.social · 1d

The Eagles defense is just atrocious right now.

Or is it not harsh enough

Only thing the Founders would find more shameful than the Phillies today is the Trump Administration.

It’s a state of mind if you were born in Philly.

One win for democracy today.

On to the Phillies and Eagles for tonight.

Perry: The federal government is "temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."

That's it. Thanks again for following.

Perry: "Chicago's history of strained policing community relations is extremely well documented, but also fairly nuanced. It's something I think state and local authorities understand extremely well, and it can be hard for federal authorities, and certainly those from Texas, to appreciate."

Perry: "There is no evidence that the president is unable, with the regular forces, to execute the laws of the United States."

Perry: "Deportations are up. Arrests are up. … The courthouse remains open and always has. Federal laws are being executed. They're also being broken, as they have been since the beginning of time."

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

Perry: "I'm going to issue an oral ruling."

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

The Speaker of the House of Representatives is an unAmerican coward. I don’t ever want to hear single member of the modern GOP lecture me about the Constitution or love of country again. You abandoned the US when she needed you the most.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that
