CHRIS CILLIZZA: Why are my posts getting so little engagement? I want more!

That was a very effective speech.

You can hate it or him.

But that speech was aimed squarely at issues where the public is with Trump -- and filled with made-for-sharing moments.

A master image-maker at work (and you can hate him and acknowledge that's true!)

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1h

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Perry cites other fed prosecutions/lawsuits in Chicago and says "in the last 48 hours, in four separate unrelated legal decision from different neutral parties, they all cast significant doubt on DHS' credibility and assessment of what is happening on the streets of Chicago."

As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

At issue is what is actually happening at Broadview, Perry says.
Local law enforcement agencies say the protests are under control, while federal officials say they present an urgent threat.
Perry: "DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

Perry: Four (4) federal judges have issued rulings in the past two (2) days in separate cases that cast significant doubt on federal officials' "credibility and assessment of what is happening on the streets of Chicago."

Hold on.

Hold on.

Did ... did the Trump Administration get this whole thing about prosecuting people for mortgage fraud from The Wire?

They did, didn't they. Because the show called it "the headshot."

Jesus fucking Christ.
