Kind of wonder what the media reaction would have been if Biden accidentally publicly ordered Garland to prosecute his enemies.

How far are the Republicans willing to let him destroy the country? I think they already have their escape plans to other countries. We need to flood the streets with thousands of people on October 18th!

This is not appropriate behavior. And I realize many of you who are fans of Katie Porter are very frustrated by what feels like a sexist double standard in how her anger is covered vs. Trump, but you can't tell me this is appropriate behavior toward staff.

Porter in the July 2021 video call exclusively obtained by POLITICO also vented that she was snubbed by the Biden White House, complaining she raised the president “a shit ton of money.”

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Pritzker stares down a convicted felon president who threatened to jail him, calling out authoritarian creep. He vows to block raids, says brown kids are being stopped for papers, and tells Illinois to film everything. Come and get me.

Just hours after President Donald Trump called for him to be jailed, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker fired back — taunting, daring, and challenging the President in a striking rebuke.Asked on camera to respond to President Trump’s remarks, Governor Pritzker said, “Well, let’s start with the idea that ...

Tours at the Capitol halted. The House kept its doors closed, while the Senate repeated its loop of failed votes. President Trump is threatening to mass fire federal workers and refuse back pay for the rest.

As the government shutdown entered a second week, there’s no discernible endgame in sight.
