Everyone Stay Safe Tomorrow Stay Peaceful And As John Lewis Would Say: Let’s Get Into Some Good Trouble

submitted 8 hours ago • 4 comments

At a time when other politicians attempted to distort the truth and disrupt our state, we stayed true to the virtues of the Land of Lincoln. As long as I'm governor, Illinois will uphold our Midwestern and American values — by treating people with dignity, respect, and fairness.

And just like that, Trump voters went from ‘no foreign entanglements’ to bloodthirsty warmongers cheering on another war in the Middle East

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

The Constitution sets forth limits, and that includes the President of the United States. Today, the people won.

The court just confirmed what we all know: The military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. End the unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles now, Donald Trump. Refusing to do so will only confirm your authoritarian tendencies. The country is watching.

Thought for the day: “We have to take back the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., period, end of sentence, If you’re not doing something to assist in that endeavor, you’re doing it wrong.” J. B. Pritzker #CA22 #CA40 #CA41

Today in Politics, Bulletin 150. Everything you need to know about another day in politics where the Trump admin lurches from clownish incompetence to repressive authoritarianism seemingly every hour. Here is what happened today. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered — instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms. We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.

Mary Miller should deport herself from Illinois. I don't like sharing my state with this fucking Nazi.

The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy. I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.

I love my state of Illinois, but if I were going to move to another state, it would be California.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

Today, the court will hear our motion for the temporary restraining order I’ve filed to block President Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles. We need to put a stop to this chaos now.

CNN ran a clip of my interview with @governor.ca.gov from today. Absolutely unhelpful to have National Guard and Marines in LA.

Rep. McIver was conducting oversight. That’s her duty as a Member of Congress. This isn’t justice—it’s retaliation. A political stunt meant to silence anyone who dares to hold power accountable. They may think they can scare us into silence. They’re dead wrong.
