For extra snark, Pritzker should've added one more sentence at the very end: "Thank you for your attention to this matter." #LOLGOP

CBS told Stephen Colbert they wouldn't air this week's interview with James Talarico, presumably because the Trump administration threatened them. It's on YouTube, currently with 400k likes. The TV show averages ~2.5 million per night. #BoostTheSignal!

Trump hasn't lost Abbott tho. He just wants more deportations, and doing it more quietly serves that goal. TRANSLATION: Rolldemort is still plenty evil.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
They're engineering the 2nd Civil War they always wanted? #AbolishICE, and a good way to start is withholding funds in the current budget negotiations. Make. Them. Stop. Attacking. Americans!
Life during wartime
a video taken by the eyewitness, Emily Heller, shows agents denying a self-identified physician access to the victim and telling bystanders to “just relax.”
“How can I relax? You just killed my fucking neighbor,” Heller responded. “How the fuck do you show up to work every day?”
Is Trump the sitting president or the shitting president? 🤔💩
If there's anybody who can manufacture a crisis that requires a "deal", it's President Trump. #ArtOfTheSteal
Republicans: They're not sending their best. 🙄
Yes, he'll use the time range that makes him look good. Big picture, violent crime in DC & nationwide is *way* down from its peak in the 1990s. What's up since 1994's federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004? Mass shootings with AR-15 style rifles. So weird. 🤔

It's the perfect opportunity to arrest Putin for war crimes, but will Trump do that? Almost certainly not.
Cool that you made him melt down, but you shouldn’t be making ANY deals with the openly fascist far right party. You should be doing what they’ve always done when they were out of power: obstruct. Refuse to work with them. Stop doing anything that furthers their agenda.
He's using our money to buy himself a gift.
A billion dollar gift.
The buck doesn't stop here. 🙄
At a conference in Birmingham circa 2016 I took a couple of sips of boxed beer, and it was exactly as warm and flat as you’re imagining right now. 🤮
Just before that, a Brit quaffed it to rehydrate after an intense DDR session. (This was at a let-your-hair-down session at the end of the day.)
Tip O'Neil?
AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.
Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.
We don't have to pretend, but advert-funded news media do, right? Because they want to sell ads, they must bend over backward *not* to tell the American people what the MAGA-R pols are doing.
It's a case of I've-got-mine-jack, right? And many (D) incumbents do likewise. 😠 #VoteThemOut
Yup. It’s government by special dispensation from Pope Donald I. 🙄 #NoKings #ReligiousFreedom
I’m sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing those memories! 🙏
Yes, and governments know Trump Always Chickens Out because he's shooting from the hip, destabilizing the situation, without listening to expert opinions about pros, cons, next steps, etc.
With all eyes on him: Happy Trump. With no news, good or bad: Grumpy Trump.
They can outlast him. #TACO
Thus violating Molly Ivins's First Rule of Holes: When you're in one, stop digging.
Is this A.I.? 🤔
Yup! Because Trump sees power as relative, making others less able to effect change (or even just do their basic jobs competently) provides a fleeting dopamine hit that he craves. As long as he's the center of attention, nothing else matters. #InsaneCrownPosse #NoKings
Yes, just like the Obamacare replacement was always 2 weeks away.
As a reward for reading, here's a Caddyshack meme for an Idiocracy presidency. Are we great (again) yet? 🙄
First rule of Big Lie Club: Don't tell the truth about Big Lie Club.
ICE is full of thugs: agreed. DHS probably has some employees who get off on the power-trip of selecting folks in airports for extra screening just because they don't like their looks. That's just profiling: ugly and wrong for sure, but until mind-reading exists and is okayed by SCOTUS, not a crime.
Graphs show Trump's job approval rating at regular intervals from inauguration in late January until the latest poll on 16 June 2025.
In the latest poll, he's underwater with *all* age ranges, thanks to my cohort, the 45-to-64 year-olds. 👏
And don't call us Gen-X. We don't believe the hype 'cause we saw Reagan, Gingrich, & Dubya Bush start what Trump's now trying to finish: total takeover by monied interests and racists.
