Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 3d

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.

Very good article Re: Qn: who wins when you bounce voters out of their apathy rut to take sides? …. and the value of liberal democracy messaging this moment needs to win that fight

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly:

So much has gone wrong in US press reporting on Trump because the White House reporters are people who have exclusively covered US politics.

They need people who have worked in Hungary, Turkey, etc. The relevant knowledge isn't Reagan factoids; it's the dynamics of competitive authoritarianism.

Does pushing back *always* work? No.

But we know that not pushing back *never* works.

Portland OR is one of my fave cities. Brilliant place & culture.

Trump is forcing the collapse of a free America. It’s bloody horrifying to watch.

Stand Strong, Portland.

Trump orders deployment of troops to Portland and authorises 'full force'

The president says the latest move to send troops to a major US city is "necessary" to protect immigration detention facilities.

“I think action on climate change is the entry fee to credibility and to engagement,” responding to a question about America’s standing in the Pacific region.

“This isn’t some academic argument,” he said. “This is a matter of an existential threat.”

Climate action is the ‘entry fee’ to credibility, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia says.
