Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Johnson - Coward in Chief.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

The whole Trump is not just criminal, they’re lazy. Never bother to fact check before they go on tv. It’s easier to just utter nonsense.

Jack Smith wasn’t the special counsel when the FBI obtained a court order to search Mar-a-lago for classified documents.

He was in the Netherlands working at the ICC.

My prescription insurance through Aetna doubled for 2026. Just received the notification. A 100% increase. I’m 70.

We want a good “role model” in the WH first.

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov speaks truth and is credible. He’s doing a better job for Illinois than Trump has ever done for our country. Ever.

ICE = 2025 Gestapo

Just Jack @just-jack-1.bsky.social · 20h

ICE isn’t law enforcement.

They’re chaos agents. Trump’s personal goon squad, recruited specifically to stoke fear and unrest in our communities.

They are a catalyst for him to claim absolute power.

Likening them to the Gestapo is accurate…and warranted.

Although all of Trump’s minions are despicable, RFK Jr will cause the most long term harm to Americans. He must go.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

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.

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.

If the goal is to turn blue states Americans into MAGAs, they’re failing. Militarizing cities never changed minds to support oppression. On the contrary. We realize how much we don’t want to be controlled. 💪🏽
