GS: “Do you agree with Trump @govpritzker.illinois.gov has committed a crime?”

@JDVance: “He violated his oath of office.”

GS: “That’s not what I asked.”

Vance shamelessly sanewashes Trump’s call for Pritzker to be jailed. TN has a 👋🏽 higher murder rate… should @GovBillLee be jailed?😬

FOX: “They do control both chambers, but they do need senate votes from Dems.”

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : “Which is why there should be bipartisan negotiation. Republicans seem to believe health care is an extraneous issue. We don’t… insurance costs for a family making $85K will TRIPLE.”

“In a time of darkness, New York must be the light.” 🔥

Instead of running from trans rights @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social leans into fighting for ALL New Yorkers.

He understands a good campaign tells the story of the place he’s running to represent— and the people in it.

We’re bad at math but $1.1 TRILLION in cuts (for tax cuts for the rich) > $50 BILLION

Here’s @RepTimBurchett admitting Republicans have never had a health care crisis plan — they have only sabotaged it and found ways to make insurance more expensive and keep millions without coverage

(especially here in Tennessee where they refused to expand Medicaid)

As @GovBillLee steers more and more taxpayer funds away from public schools to private (mostly Christian) schools for wealthy families who are already there.

WATCH — @drjessicaknurick.bsky.social : “Here’s a partial list of things Trump is choosing to no longer study — food insecurity, gun violence, toxic exposures etc… Just because you don't measure it doesn't mean the problem went away. Censoring science & data collection is scary in a democracy.”

The cruelty is the point

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 20h

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?
