I wasn’t a big fan of J.B. Pritzker when he became governor of Illinois. But he proved me quite wrong, and my respect for him keeps growing. Assuming we have another presidential election, he’s going to be a very formidable candidate.

Authoritarianism happens drip by drip, crisis by crisis, until people forget what normal even felt like. This is how fascism seduces a nation—wearing down our ability to be outraged. Trump has normalized evil into a steady march of civic numbness. Wake up & fight.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.

Every now and then I just pause and think that … we could have just elected Kamala Harris, and we’d still have an economy that was the strongest in the world; we’d still have an American-led trans-Atlantic order; we’d be assured that our universities would remain the envy of the world; … (1/x)

Why is ICE over 900 miles from the border?
Why are they operating without uniforms or badges?
How do we know that these aren't just deputized Proud Boys or other MAGA militia?
Where's the oversight? The accountability.
