Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.

Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

Update: 49 of 49. We just ran the table in what was once one of the most Republican counties in the US.
Chair of DuPage Dems here… I believe we are leading in 44 of 45 partisan races countywide, and that includes total sweeps in several townships that haven’t had a Dem in decades if ever

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

This is good. This is important.
I’d guess about 1,300 people at Juneau’s protest today in front of the Alaska Capitol. Largest I’ve seen there since the women’s march and march for science during the first Trump term. Extra credit to the person who had a Greenland flag — not many of those in town, I’d guess. #akleg #Alaska

Some judges are telling the fElon #HandsOff too.

Almost 350 of them.

They’ve signed an amicus brief backing the Perkins Coie law firm in its suit against the Trump regime.

Another brief signed by more than 300 law firms is expected.

#HandsOff the rule of law!

I like that I just heard @mollyjongfast.bsky.social on TV say this is in part a response to Democrats failing to address corruption after the first Trump term—so that this is a battle between those who would cave & those who want to fight. Ppl are not just mad at Trump; they’re mad at their leaders.
We spend so much time in the media wondering if things are breaking through. Massive protests show that Americans are seeing what’s happening and they don’t like it.

This was prevented by the post-Watergate legislation: lobbying, campaign finance, foreign interference, the budget. On the watchtowers, we fell asleep. The lawyers and lobbyists burrowed and darted from shadow to shadow. The rich man's money won out. Every reform was undermined or gone.

If we have normal elections, and Democrats are able to get back in power we need to take a long hard look at how to enact the same kind of anti-corruption laws that helped prevent another Nixon for decades and decades and decades.

Pritzker: You know, I was asked the other day if I could say one thing to Donald Trump, what would it be? And I said, “What does Putin have on you?”

Everybody rational understands that Putin is trying to rebuild the old Russian Empire. And Donald Trump is literally handing it to him.
