What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

After having a full day to process the shitshow performance she put on yesterday, it is clear that we learned much more from what she refused to say than any on the right-wing propaganda that escaped her lips.

tRump is in the Epstein files, and Holeman took at least a $50,000 bribe.

WATCH: @chrislhayes.bsky.social explains precisely why Mike Johnson is stalling the new Dem rep's swear-in over the Epstein vote: "Right now, Johnson can pressure the four Republican signers to change their minds. He has time to do it—as long as he keeps Adelita Grijalva out of Congress."

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Nice to see Sen. Gallego and Kelly going to bat for Adelita Grijalva, as they and everyone else should be.
Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

This is a good way to hit back at Trump's deranged statements and calls to jail Democrats.

Media needs to focus on his mental decline. Democrats must force media to do it.

"Pritzker and Newsom see it as a defining challenge of this moment that Trump is consolidating authoritarian power daily, and using it to subjugate and dominate Blue America as if it’s akin to an enemy nation within."

🚨🚨🚨 Trump has called for the ARREST of Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. Listen for his “reasoning.” And share because this is weaponization of authority to control political dissidents. 1/2
