There was never going to be a moment when everyone—everyone in government, everyone in media, everyone in the population—was roused to action at the same time. We're turning a battleship. And Pritzker understands that.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Think your governor's doing enough? This analysis warns that the White House is eyeing the Insurrection Act to label ICE protests as 'insurrection.' Time to demand state emergencies and guard deployment from state governors.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 The UK has delivered hundreds of air defence missiles to Ukraine five months ahead of schedule.

The delivery comes amid a strengthening defence partnership: Ukraine’s largest drone manufacturer is investing £200m in building two factories in Britain.

Chris, Trump and Miller want to massacre Americans. They are desperately looking for opportunities to do so. Republicans go along for the ride.

This is an existential moment for Trump and America. Because he’s committing treason if he does this.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

These protests show how the regime is weaker than it appears. Laugh at the regime. It’s the one thing fascists can’t stand.

Trump is likely planning on massacring Americans excercising their first Amendment rights.

He should be disabused of this idea because everything will change, for him and everyone else, if he does.

Mamdani: "Trump ran on 3 promises - punishment of his political enemies, easing cost of living crisis, & mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. And yet he's unable & unwilling to deliver bc he's beholden to the very billionaires that are profiting off of it"

What people do not understand is that there are federal prosecutorial guidelines. Even if Leticia James violated the law (and we don't know she did), federal prosecutors would not bring a case for $18,000. I indicted cases for DOJ. This is a vindictive prosecution.

Just the cluelessness of Trump about his behavior & the breathlessness of the DC media (and @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social) yesterday about this demonstrates that we have too many dumb Americans saying things & making decisions they aren’t qualified to make.
