Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 11h

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

So... a young FBI staffer who displayed a small pride flag in his workspace gets fired but a young GOP Capitol Hill staffer who displays a swastika flag in his workspace gets to keep his job

Got. It.

10-16-2025, Sunset in the Sunset District SF, CA. I'm baaaack. It's odd that as soon as I get my Doctor's PA to give me an appointment, my symptoms vanish. I'll still go in, been MIA since the pandemic. My Dr needs to practice shaking her finger at me. Stay safe & be well ❤

Adelita Grijalva won her Congressional race fair and square THREE WEEKS ago.

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat her is an absolute disgrace.

Seat her now. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Who is Adelita Grijalva and why hasn't she been sworn in to Congress yet?

Democrats are ramping up the pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month to succeed her late father.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

10-12-2025, Sunset in the Sunset District SF, CA. Moon in Cancer involves home, hearth, family, and interestingly enough, country. For our country is our home. Everyone is our family. Let's treat them with empathy and compassion. Eat comfort food, too. SS&BW ❤
