Pritzker is pushing back DAILY, invoking patriotism and American values of fair play, community, freedom, strength, responsibility, empathy.
He coins pithy phrases:
Pritzker described Trump’s first couple of months in office as “true villainous cruelty by a few idiots.”

The White House doesn’t offer a plausible legal rationale because the orders are illegal.

It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

So now there will be another law, they’ll be sure to follow this one?

- SNAP has funding, it’s a question of paying and it’s before the courts.
- RIFs can start again on January 30.
- No ACA credits.
- DC fix was promised in March, not new.
- Only Trump priorities funded for whole FY.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
