Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

This is fascinating. I would bet trump doesn’t care if we see photos of him with topless girls - but he certainly does not want us to see them laughing at him and pointing.

This post caught my attention, but the whole thread on regime collapse is quite good.

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. 🧵

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

There is no budget "deal" to be made

President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

Not Stephen Miller accidentally outting the regime in an interview. Let that "plenary authority" claim slip right out and then had to act like the audio cut out.

Sir! We heard you.. and the President does NOT have plenary authority.

In actual combat — not this fake ass Stephen Miller wet dream — I would have destroyed any of my soldiers doing this to non-combatants. There is no gray area or fine line.
