This should be an inspiration to all American Governors.

I give you @jbpritzker.bsky.social's State of the State speech for 2025.

It's worth a read.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

What can you do?

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.

Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.

Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.

Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

Resist. Stand with others.

People you love will die as health care costs rise and your government pulls back. Ignorance will grow deeper and wider. Farms will fail and families with children will go hungry. Bridges will collapse.
The rich will live well off the back of your labor.
This is the Republican vision.

Friends of the 19-year-old popcorn fortune heir turned DOGE lackey have shared how he always admired Musk as a "genius."
Teen DOGE ‘Popcorn Prince’ Considers Elon Musk His ‘Idol’
“Through high school, his goal was never really to go to college,” a friend said. “He really just wanted to build his own thing, like Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates.”

That @elonmusk hasn’t been hauled before Congress & forced to answer questions under oath is all the evidence you need to know that we’re in a Constitutional crisis. The legislative branch has officially abandoned its duty to defend the Constitution. Hence, a Constitutional crisis.

My Democratic colleagues just tried to subpoena unelected billionaire Elon Musk, but House Republicans blocked it.

We must hold Elon Musk accountable, especially since my Republican colleagues are complicit in these assaults on our government.
NEW: I just moved to subpoena Elon Musk to appear before the Oversight Committee to answer for his unlawful takeover of agencies across the government.

Republicans blocked my motion without allowing any debate.

They will stop at nothing to cover up Elon Musk's lawlessness.

Trump's promise to dismantle the Education Department will likely be more costly for red states than blue.

Trump states, on average, use more federal funding in their education apportions than states that voted for Vice President Harris. www.axios.com/2025/02/05/t...

Look, Trump is trying to oversaturate us with nonstop chaos so we can’t react meaningfully to any one thing.

But Friday's global stop work order on almost all U.S. aid is dumb and murderous. You need to know about it.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

According to a Nixon-era law & SCOTUS case, presidents can’t hold back congressionally allocated funds because they disagree with a project. But that’s what Donald Trump is trying to do & the real question is whether this SCOTUS will let him get away with it. joycevance.substack.com/p/impoundment

We all know that Congress has “the power of the purse,” but what if he disagrees with the programs they decide to fund?

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.
