Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Trump allies push 19-year-old Barron for a TikTok board seat, said by “TikTok Jack.” The platform is owned by ByteDance. It reeks of nepotism and soft corruption while the president woos the same app he once tried to kill.

Barron Trump, 19, Pitched for Top Job at TikTok

“TikTok Jack” suggested the 19-year-old son of Trump for a board position.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.
