the pushback Pritzker led -- via the bully pulpit and via building a united response among political, business and community leaders -- appears to have convinced Trump to back off plans for Chicago that he'd been posting and even fundraising about: www.cnn.com/2025/09/12/p...
Trump shelves Chicago crackdown plans for now as advisers warn of legal headaches | CNN Politics
There’s a reason President Donald Trump shelved his publicly stated plans to target Chicago as the next city for his domestic crime push and instead turned his sights on Memphis.

Everyone follow @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and read her Substacks. She's the Guardian journalist who blew the lid off Cambridge Analytica's data purge from Facebook that led to Brexit. She was featured in the imp doc The Great Hack. She calls Musk's Treasury raid on Jan 31st the real GREAT HACK.
This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

OK, "Reclaim the Treasury Payment System" isn't a great rallying cry for getting the masses out in the streets. But if you're in the media and not writing about Musk's ongoing coup and not screaming, "Fire!," then you are doing it wrong

So many of us lived through this, but like any traumatic time in life, I know I blocked out a lot of the details. This is an excellent reminder of the Trump chaos, from ABC Australia. There will be no guardrails this time around.
Stumbled into this series from Australia's ABC called "America's Last Election," it explains Trump's authoritarian throughline and the progress he's making better than anything I'm seeing in the US.

Their advantage is they figure their audience needs the whole story.

And so do we!

At least one person at CNN gets it.

“I think a lot of it can be explained by the viewers making a decision that they just don’t like what we’re doing,” said a CNN political journalist who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to comment. “The viewers are pretty smart.”

I cannot get over the fact that Republicans only won the House by 7,500 total votes in three congressional districts—an average of 2,500 votes in each.

That’s how close Democrats came to taking the House, in a country of over 340 million people. 7,500 votes.
