1. Thank you Governor

[Lovie777]

2. K & R......................

3. Democratic governors will be a lifeline for many people.

At least until Trump (or Vance) has disabled enough of the remaining guardrails to declare himself president for life.

[Harker]

4. +33. I'm damned glad to be living in New York. n/t

[mucifer]

5. Honestly, it's so scary. People forget trump stopped sending urgent supplies to us in the blue states

[Ysabel]

7. yep and we never got our railroad and train here in Wisconsin...

it's really hard to travel from here...

[Harker]

8. Having a petulant, punitive, largely immune Trumpsky in the White House is nightmarish, yes.

I'd sooner take my chances with a Democratic governor, though, rather than a Quisling.

I appreciate Governor Pritzer laying it on the line like that. I look for Democrats finding new ways to work together to help offset the troubles to come.

[Evolve Dammit]

11. I'd say he's totally immune at this point...

[Harker]

13. In a legal sense, yes.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Thanks to empty suits at DOJ. Sessions could have done better. Maybe

[Harker]

15. Sad thought, but not out of the question.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. For the first time in my life, I think the rule of law is a joke. It is unequal and controlled by rich white guys.

Clarence is a token, controlled by Harlan Crowe. Orange Julius found his Roy Cohn. Just never imagined it could be Merrick Garland.

[Harker]

17. He made a couple of stirring announcements about how no one was above the law..

I bought it.

[Evolve Dammit]

18. same. Holder did the same thing.

[Ysabel]

6. Thanks!

I'm from Urbana, Illinois...

9. Sounds like he's opening the door for 2028

I’d welcome that!

[Jkanad]

10. Thanks, Governor!

It’s certainly comforting now to live in a blue state. (from suburban Chicago)

12. Easy for a billionaire to say

Sorry, getting harder and harder to listen to billionaires.
