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.

Letitia James is being criminally charged for the ‘crime’ of holding Trump accountable. This indictment is the clearest sign yet that Trump’s project isn’t just corruption — it’s monarchy. He’s using the power of the federal government to punish his public servants and protect himself.

Trump and Stephen Miller want us afraid. They want us divided. But we are building this movement together, across race, class, and geography, and we know that’s the only way to win.

We’re not backing down. We’ll see you in the streets on October 18.

COURT WIN!

Last week, a Trump-appointed federal judge blocked the Trump administration from slashing $233 million in counterterrorism grants for Democrat-led states.

It’s outrageous that he would literally try to defund the police in blue states.

People often ask about the value of protests - this is what they is good for! To show that we are not alone, to demonstrate the power of people united, to offer hope and community.

Sometimes, a video like this helps to keep that sliver of hope somehow still intact safe… at least for one more day.

Every mention of the Insurrection Act should be accompanied by the fact that Trump pardoned even the most violent members of the January 6 mob.

Trump had already been told by an Oregon judge that he could not deploy Oregon National Guard troops, and has been shopping around for a judicial venue which will find differently. This Trump-appointed judge did not comply.

Here in Wisconsin, we’re working to lower costs for working families and give folks a little extra breathing room in their household budgets.

And our actions stand in stark contrast to Republicans who claim to want to do the same.

So let's take inventory:

-Citizenship is being revoked along racial lines
-Troops have been mobilized against multiple Democratic American cities
-And now, thoughtcrimes and precrime have been declared illegal

Republicans in Congress have refused to negotiate an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits as part of talks to end the shutdown, arguing there is plenty of time to negotiate over ObamaCare once the government is funded.

But if it doesn’t act, many will start feeling the pinch soon.

There is zero evidence that non-citizens voting is an issue - but we understand entirely the threat of continued attacks on state election officials, processes, and infrastructure.
