JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

A President threatening to jail a sitting Governor is unacceptable and is the opposite of what this country stands for and was founded on. I stand with Gov. Pritzker and for the rights of each state across our great nation.

Could not be more clear the president wishes he had unilateral power to imprison people, like in an absolute monarchy

He doesn’t so instead he’s forcing the govt to bring charges against his enemies because he wants vengeance

Nakedly corrupt, the sort of thing that necessitates removal from office

Honestly, there's no way he has the patience or the ability to think straight for the consecutive pages.

One page, at best. Double-spaced

You know, "Refusing to pay the troops, signaling that you intend to keep the government shut down indefinitely, and then trying to fight a trade war you literally cannot fight with the government shut down" is the stuff regimes do when they're pretty deep in a death spiral.

I’m sure Trump will post a heartfelt and sincere congratulatory message to Maria Corina Machado for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, as any president with class and dignity would do.

“But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than China’s.”

Oh God, the very stable genius thinks he has a cunning plan. Expect big falls in global stock markets.

The President of the United States (POTUS) has one job: preserve protect and defend the US Constitution. He's actively doing precisely not that. We need to stop calling him President. He's most decidedly not. That's evident. IMPEACH. REMOVE. CONVICT. PRISON.

It’s an insane world where militarizing your own civilian streets and ordering extrajudicial murders on the high seas doesn’t get you a prize.

Intelligent debate on the Today programme died in 2015-16 when they allowed the most egregious lies to pass unchallenged.

One indicator you’re not Nobel Peace Prize material is if the country which hosts the totally independent Nobel committee believes you’re gonna retaliate against them because you didn’t win.

The comparatively tepid media coverage of an objectively worse economy under Trump compared to Biden is as predictable as it is depressing.

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

A man who has declared war on American cities is not deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.
