Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.

I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

Governor JB Pritzker today signed Executive Order 2025-06 to establish the Illinois Accountability Commission (IAC), an independent board tasked with capturing and creating a public record of the conduct of federal law enforcement agents and recommending actions to hold the federal government accountable as they continue conducting military-style operations in Chicago, collar counties, and other areas throughout the state.

Perspective: The White House has about 55,000 sq ft of floor space (132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, six levels). The new ballroom is planned to span 90,000 sq ft at an updated cost of $300M —5.5× larger than the White House itself at a cost of nearly 8× Mar-a-Lago’s $40M Grand Ballroom

It's all projection. Trump is accusing all of us of being criminals and terrorists and violent but he is pardoning criminals who helped terrorists.

There’s no evidence that I have seen that they actually have any substantial reason to think that these are drug runners. One must presume that these military actions have some other origin…
