It is indeed Bovino. He told CBS, quoted in Heather's posted piece: 'The use of force that I’ve seen has been exemplary — the least amount of force necessary to accomplish the mission...If someone strays into a pepper ball, then that’s on them. Don’t protest and don’t trespass.'

Someone 'strayed into a pepper ball?' Tell that to Judge Ellis.

And here are the contractors: McCrery Architects; Clark Construction; & engineering firm AECOM. FOIA requests for the contracts submitted by anyone? David?

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

So the current drooling, mentally incompetent & incoherent, physically deteriorated incumbent may not last to 2028. He has lots of spawn to step in & still sell the T***p 2028 merch.

There are so many Trumps in the wings & in our face, even Bannon would support a substitute & still sell the 2028 merch.

This is how you do it!

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

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.

You mean the $230MN he's claiming in damages from DOJ & FBI? Ya, those tax dollars.

Kevin Kiley (R-CA3d) told Jen Psaki the other night he'd vote for the discharge petition but was coy about signing it.

ICE has academic 'standards'? Who'd a thought!

Not that anyone lived to tell that story.

Hold your anger & get your facts straight. Sen. Duckworth is not taking your tax dollars or allocating federal funds. Congress appropriates $$ to agencies & programs. Republicans control the WH & Congress & the regime is disregarding those directions & spending or cutting $$ wherever it wants.

Is there any left at EPA who would/could measure AQ? Or at OSHA for asbestos contamination & workers using PPE? Or who even cares?

It's the county sheriffs, not Pritzker, who entered into contracts w/Marshalls Service, w/ or w/o an ICE rider. And it's the State AG who would/should enforce the state laws.

The answer for any president not named Trump is no, they can't. But who gives a f**k about rules now?

(I got that. My comment was meant in a forehead-slapping, omg sense. The guy is testifying about stuff he has no personal knowledge of. Great trial prep, AUSAs, & great way to build your/your witnesses' credibility. I'd have been sanctioned faster than I could spin around.)

The pub. date is October 16, 1969. The protests then were about the Vietnam War.
