Remember last year, when Trump promised voters, “I will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare”?

I have some bad news for those who believed him.

I am very angry, but not at everybody! It was suppose to be a lighthearted post. I don't make many of those so thanks for pointing out that I'm not very good at lighthearted posts.

Reminder this is all happening because Republicans refuse to let you have affordable health care.

Prosecuting political opponents, abducting immigrants, deploying troops in our streets, silencing voters, defying the courts — this is a dictatorship in action.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute. Join millions of Americans to remind him there are NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Governor Pritzker on Bluesky: “I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”

A Republican state legislator from Arizona called for me to be “tried, convicted and hanged.”

It was a disturbing call for political violence and an attempt to silence my voice and our resistance movement. It should be condemned by members on both sides of the aisle.

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."
