Pritzker should physically lead citizens to block the gates at ICE detention centres. But also: Challenge Trump not just to send ICE, but to meet him in the street, personally. “You gonna send men in masks to beat these citizens? You gonna face me, or hide like a coward?”

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity. Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy. A little profanity shows that you're being real and you do give a damn.

I'm impressed the Trump administration was able to arrest the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa after being on the run for 95 years since the term "antifa" first came into use.

Noem: One of the individuals we arrested recently was the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa and we’re hoping as we go after her and prosecute her, we'll get more and more information about the network and how we can root them out and eliminate them from the existence of

No, I cannot believe the price of this medication will be reduced by 654% since it's mathematically impossible to reduce the price of anything by more than 100%

Trump: As an example one particular drug that's hot, very hot. 654% on inhalers… They will be averaging 654% reduction in price. Can you believe it?

How are all these rich people this dumb? Being unable to tell the difference between New Democrats & Communists, does make you a right wing nut as much as it makes you a moron.

Jesus. This is what it's come to: Mike ”Purity Ball“ Johnson curating our choice of musical acts. We survived fires & floods, insurrection & assassinations, and armed men in masks trampling human decency beneath their boot heels, but some affronts humankind simply cannot endure.

This might sound crazy, but I'm not joking. Not even a little. This is the energy Trump gives out, except no one ever calls his bluff. You don't want to call his bluff by defending with violence, so call his bluff by demanding he do the violence himself. Expose him as gutless.

As celebs line up to show support for Kimmel, there's gotta be a Matt Damon joke to be made here, right? Like Damon wants to put their differences aside to fight for free speech, but Kimmel still can't bring himself to do it? Something?

Remember those 2+ years Dems spent not prosecuting the very real crimes of Donald Trump out of fear Republicans would use it as a dishonest fig leaf to justify retribution? Those years feel like time well-spent tonight.
