Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

2 days a month, and 2 weeks in the summer.... 1-year deployments are going to be great for recruitment and morale.

Somebody my mom knows only just now discovered via my mom that ICE isn't only arresting cartel members and drug dealers, and I don't know how other than one on one conversations we're supposed to break through a right wing propaganda ecosystem that keeps people completely disconnected from reality.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

Of course Trump got the flu shot and the Covid booster. He’s probably had shingles and pneumonia shots too because he’s old. His followers may hate vaccines, but his doctors don’t. He likes stupid people. It doesn’t mean his doctors are stupid.

Vaccines work.
