“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to ‘dementia’ and obsessive fixations

Democratic governor’s comments came as he continues to oppose President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago area for deportation efforts.

Really thought-provoking conversation about autism, the stigma of mental health diagnoses, & more between @chrislhayes.bsky.social & Richard Grinker, a cultural anthropologist. Grinker’s personal story is fascinating, too. Worth a listen.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 2d

Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.

Pentagon chief Hegseth more interested in pushups than talking with Illinois leaders, Pritzker says

The governor said the Trump administration is keeping him in the dark about immigration enforcement and National Guard deployments.

This whole “don’t take the bait” narrative being spun up by the resist account networks is pure counter insurgency. If fascists are trying to do violence against you and your community by all means protect yourself in any way you can. Do not comply in advance and “do nothing” in the face of fascism.

🚨🚨The House reading clerk just read a letter from House Speaker Mike Johnson where he declares a 'District Work Period' from October 7 to October 13.

That would mean no votes in the House until mid-month.
