Gov. Pritzker: "The president lies consistently, and he's got a lot of people around him who are sycophants, including JD Vance, who lie on his behalf...It's propaganda."

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Literally the authoritarian playbook:
1. Call your opponents terrorists.
2. Deploy state power against them.
There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

Today, Trump sold out the young people of America and future generations.
He will give the fossil fuel industry the unrestricted ability to release carbon emissions and accelerate the existential threat of climate change.
How much in campaign contributions is that worth?

The deep irony of yesterdays wealth transfer bill:
While Medicaid — which serves 80 million Americans — was being defunded, pharmaceutical companies were given a $5 billion exemption to maximize profits at the expense of affordable access.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.
