A positive step.

Trump cannot deploy National Guard to Illinois, appeals court rules

But the Chicago-based US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit also rules the force can remain under federal control for now.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Frightening.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

AS A PROUD MEMBER OF ANTIFA (CANADIAN DIVISION 🇨🇦) I CAN CONFIRM WE’RE VERY POWERFUL, VERY POLITE PEOPLE. STRONG MEN WITH TEARS COME UP TO ME AND SAY: “SIR, YOU AND HABEAS CORPUS ARE DOING AMAZING THINGS.” WE RECYCLE. WE APOLOGIZE. WE DOMINATE!!

"An editorial from ... the Washington Post... this week... “Many Democrats still cannot see how their legal aggression against Trump during his four years out of power set the stage for the dangerous revenge tour on which he is now embarked...but maybe you shouldn’t have made him so mad."

The Insidious Effort To Rationalize Trump’s Lawfare

This is not a president justified in going after those who went after him. It’s a person making a mockery of our justice system.
