Ballot arrived today! Marked YES, signed the envelope, put in a nearby postbox. Easy peasy. Did you know that voting ASAP helps the YES on 50 campaign operate more efficiently? Plus it will take you off the list for calls and door knocks. Win/win. And speaking of winning, let’s DO IT Californians!

Good point, although he can always pardon whoever is convicted of a federal crime. I'd say they should use state courts to obtain convictions that can't be pardoned by him.

Gov. Pritzker told Trump what we need to hear: “If you come for my people, you come through me.”

Follow Illinois: protect communities, refuse authoritarian stunts, and stand between Washington’s overreach and our people.

Governors: take note — courage > cowardice.

The Evil Clown Posse must be distributing different versions of their "How we're going to screw ppl over with #TrumpsShutdown" memo to its members.

Thune and Johnson show an example of the effect:

Health premiums are already set to rise 15–20% next year—but if you rely on the ACA marketplace, losing tax credits could spike your rates 75–100%.

Millions are about to pay thousands more.

That’s what this shutdown is really about. #TrumpShutUSDown

Trump, "who attempted a violent coup, who fomented an actual insurrection, will invent a fantasy insurrection to justify overturning the rule of law and deploying the U.S. military against civilians."
Excellent and realistic assessment, albeit very alarming. TY for posting.

What Trump is doing in Chicago is either legal or illegal.

If it’s legal, we must defeat Trumpism and make his assaults on democracy and federalism illegal going forward.

If it’s illegal, someone has to go to jail, eventually.

A valuable read. 👇

The ability to vote is under attack; First w the SAVE Act, then w Felon's EO BS, & now they're trying via the EAC.

"The EAC is accepting public comments on this issue. Anti-voter advocates have flooded their website with one-sided & misleading comments. We can fight back with comments of our own."

GOP Members of Congress only care about satisfying the leader of the regime.

Chicago Mayor Johnson is calling out Trump for defunding our education, transportation and healthcare system and firing black women across this country.
He's right- "This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."
