Never in the history of our great country has another President threatened to jail a Governor for disagreeing with him. I stand with Governor Pritzker and hope all Americans do as well. This is authoritarian insanity.
Donald Trump’s not fighting crime, he’s abusing power to attack opponents.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

But we can stop this. Our elected officials must reject the gun lobby and close loopholes that make it appallingly easy for dangerous people to access guns.
