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."

Pam Bondi is so hostile, angry, and rude, today.

I think it must be getting harder and harder to lie.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Portland is a “war-ravaged” city that is “on fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats' bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.
This is the fifth time they've done this.
Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.

Question: what would the consequences be for red states if California and Illinois withdrew from the Governors Association?

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

According to polling by YouGov, my therapist Jimmy Kimmel (the late night television host and comedian) has a favorability rating 16 points higher than the president's. The polling took place after Kimmel returned to air having being suspended from his show last month.

As of this morning's update (tracking through 9/20), the number of people killed by the police in the United States this year has crossed 1,000.

This number will continue to rise, as it always does, with no meaningful attempts to slow it by either major party.

This is all still happening.

Police have killed 1,001 people in the U S so far in 2025

CENSORED: “They refused to run my column this week. Too critical of Trump, they said.”

Writer Dan Conway left The Daily Memphian after editors rejected his column for criticizing Trump’s unconstitutional military incursions into US cities.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

This testimony from @AGPamBondi is a fucking disgrace. She is a stain on the fabric of America. She is making clear that she is NOT an AG for America.

She is a wicked and evil _itch.
