There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

WOO HOO! 🥂🦋

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

AP sues Trump, stocks crash, consumer confidence plummets, Trump fires the ICE director over poor deportation numbers, GOP has horrible fundraising numbers, and more. Catch up on today's news!

Remember: politicians work for YOU. Don’t let them forget that.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

This is how you stand up to a bully!

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Nailed it.

Illinois Governor Pritzker reminds us it took the Nazis: 1 month 3 weeks 2 days 8 hours 40 minutes to dismantle the Constitution. We MUST stand together to fight Donald Trump! #StandAgainstTrump #UniteAgainstTrump

Governor Pritzker is my hero. Here he is at his State of the State address. m.youtube.com/watch?v=hS66...

Illinois Governor Pritzker gets it! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

After the State of the State yesterday, I headed over to a roundtable discussion to hear how pharmacy benefit managers have driven the cost of prescription drugs up at the expense of families. This is an industry that needs regulation. Illinoisans need and deserve nothing less.

Pritzker is a real one. Full text of the speech. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Illinois Governor Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov is my choice to head our much needed “Shadow Government”.

Meanwhile here in Ukraine we don't live under dictatorship and we have eggs.

A strong statement on the need to stand up in dark times from my colleague @heathermcpherson.bsky.social. She has done the heavy lifting in parliament on Ukraine, Gaza and human rights. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

"If we are silent in allowing Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to carve up Ukraine it is a repeat of Munich 1938. We cannot allow this to happen.” Nothing to see here folks, just Charlie Angus once again saying what needs to be said & calling out shit that needs to be called out.

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

It's traditions like today that bring together all our branches of government to stand in respect of each other - that underpins the guardrails of our democracy. The only power that the Constitution truly recognizes is power that's capable of humbling itself before our people.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

These Republicans are cowards

Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to the entire free world.

💯

Gov. Pritzker is an amazing leader. A true patriot, fighting for the working class, unions, and protecting the rights and freedoms of all people in Illinois. And he has one thing that all MAGAts lack. He has empathy.

I think I am ready to offer my diplomatic solution to the US government: how about you fuck yourself along with your russian buddies and then you keep fucking yourself for so long that Ukrainians would never hear of both of you ever again? #UkrainianView
