Pritzker is meeting the moment and if he stands up for the people, stands up against Trump's rein of terror, holds ICE accountable, he can elevate himself as a front runner for Dem leadership.

Now is the moment for leaders, not cowards.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Regime Collapse 🧵: 4. They're Weekend At Bernie-ying the fuck out of Trump.

Miller has begun to let slip that *he’s* sending National Guard to cities or doing boat strikes.

Like Musk before him, we need to put the pressure on him - not Trump.

Congress should ask him to testify. 🧵

It's funny how fast Trump supporters went from calling quarantine orders ‘tyranny’ to cheering on the military being used against civilians.

Trump says he will speak to the DOJ about giving Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Great to see Usman Khawaja and @davidpocock.bsky.social teaming up to push for a gambling advertising ban.

They shouldn’t have to.

The Albanese govt’s refusal to implement Peta Murphy’s review is scandalous.

And shows they are in the pocket of the gambling industry. #4Corners #LosingStreak

There are despicable, evil people in this world, but none are as atrocious as this hideous cretin.

From the Trump Resistance Movement:

STEPHEN MILLER IS AN UN-AMERICAN
POLITICAL EXTREMIST.

HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST DOMESTIC
ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES
CONSTITUTION IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC.

HE IS AN ARCHITECT OF THE LIES,
INCITEMENTS AND PROPAGANDA THAT LED TO AN ARMED ASSAULT ON THE US CAPITOL.

HE IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FOMENTING A COLD CIVIL WAR IN THIS
COUNTRY.

HE DESERVES YOUR DEEPEST CONTEMPT
AND SCORN.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Our heroes laid low by corrupt, incompetent, stupid scumbags put in charge by a minority of American voters. The Admiral, a lifelong defender of this country with a stellar, unblemished career, deserved more from the lazy, apathetic citizens who tuned out of this campaign and failed to vote.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.
