@govpritzker.illinois.gov If Trump sends out-of-state troops to Chicago, you should order the Illinois Guard to block their path. Trump will not stop unless he's stopped.

When I look at Stephen Miller, it’s not hard to imagine him in the dock during an international tribunal of some kind.

Gov. Wes Moore: "We continue to listen to the president make just blissfully ignorant comments about Baltimore...If he came and spent time with the people on the ground who are actually doing the work, he could see the progress that's being made."

I am not saying the Life in the Stupid Times podcast could be influenced by someone offering a large wad of cash. But I am not NOT saying that, either.

By itself, Trump’s redecoration of the Oval Office would justify convening a Nuremberg-style tribunal. It’s a crime against humanity.

"I used to be skeptical about claims that Putin had access to kompromat on Trump that explained his grovelling relationship with the Kremlin. But if such kompromat is not the explanation, it is hard to see why the White House is behaving as it does towards Ukraine."
The idea that the Kremlin has kompromat on Trump seems increasingly plausible
If the White House capitulates to Putin on Ukraine, it will grossly and perhaps fatally betray the principles on which Nato was founded

Trump’s most appropriate move would have been to arrest Putin and turn him over to the Hague. You don't reason with guys like that. You destroy them.

Trump: "If it's bad, if it's something I don't see a future in — I'm gone, I'll leave. I don't have to do a press conference, I'll just say 'Not going to be a deal, I'm out of here' and I go back to the United States."

Trump is in Alaska, which is in the United States.
