Jackson County Dems

We love being lifelong Democrats!

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Donald Trump is suffering from dementia.

Someone needs to step in before it's too late.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨TRUMP HAS SEVERAL MENTAL LAPSES ON CAMERA

WTF. Trump just called it the "Islamic Republic of Japan," and called Zelenskyy “President Putin.” He even mispronounced Obama’s name.

WHERE IS JAKE TAPPER’S BOOK?

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

I know we Democrats are having a conversation right now about how much we should talk about Donald Trump.

But we must fully and honestly confront what he is doing to this country right now.

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

Donald Trump is everything our Founding Fathers feared most.

An uncontrollable, narcissistic, authoritarian president who acts like a king.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

This holiday weekend, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, I'll be thinking not just about the history of the United States but about our future.

If our generation does its job, then by the time our kids are celebrating the 300th, they'll look back on the decades between these milestones with admiration for how America faced ferocious challenges and once more drew nearer to its highest ideals.

From our family to yours, happy Fourth of July!

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Today in Chicago, @BarackObama and @MichelleObama reminded Americans how we can be our best as a country, just as they did during their eight years in the White House.

It was a great honor to participate in today’s opening for the Obama Presidential Center, whose purpose of empowering people to make positive change is timely and needed.

🚨DONALD TRUMP FELL ASLEEP AT HIS OWN UFC SPECTACLE

His White House UFC event was an enormous logistical headache and likely cost taxpayers millions.

It’s worse than you think:

⚫️ Secret Service deployment

⚫️ Presidential motorcade operations

⚫️ Air support and aviation assets

⚫️ Military and federal security personnel

⚫️ Temporary infrastructure and staging

⚫️ Barricades, fencing, checkpoints

⚫️ Additional law enforcement staffing

⚫️ Traffic control and road closures

⚫️ Emergency medical and response teams

⚫️ Communications and security equipment

⚫️ Event setup and cleanup

⚫️ Weather contingency operations

⚫️ Coordination across multiple federal agencies

⚫️ Disruptions to White House operations

⚫️ Security sweeps and venue preparation

All so Donald Trump could throw himself a massive UFC-themed birthday spectacle and reportedly fall asleep.

What a tremendous waste.

I love this man.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.

Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

[Jackson County Dems @DemsJacksonCo]

We KNEW there would be this corruption. That’s why we ran a prosecutor, NOT a felon.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Megyn Kelly, who endorsed and campaigned for Trump in the 2024 election:

“I didn’t expect the corruption to be quite as widespread as it has been. The self-dealing, the lining of his and his family’s pockets. It’s shocking… You look across the board at the Trump family, I’ve never seen a family get so rich off the presidency.”

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

This Ebola outbreak is heartbreaking and infuriating. Thanks to Trump’s reckless leadership, we’re seeing the devastating consequences of gutting USAID and slashing global health programs — the very systems designed to keep us safe. 

Because of these thoughtless cuts, America is less prepared for public health emergencies like this outbreak.

Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China. 

Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well. 

The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer. 

Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company.

That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company.

Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies.

CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

Mifepristone is safe and effective health care, and access to health care should be a right for every American.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. State Department issued a worldwide security alert, urging Americans to exercise “increased caution” amid the Iran war:

“Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world,” the alert added.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are keeping our airports in chaos and instilling fear in Illinoisans to pass a voter suppression bill — instead of paying our TSA agents.

It’s time to get our nation’s airports back on track now.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Donald Trump is a piece of shit.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Trump didn’t fire Kristi Noem because she failed to respond to the floods in Texas which claimed the lives of at least 100 people.
He didn’t fire her because Americans were murdered by her rabid masked goons.
He didn’t fire her for posing for photos in front of human beings in cages like they were livestock.
He didn’t fire her for racially profiling Latinos, African-Americans, Arab Americans and Asian Americans.
He didn’t fire her because she was arresting legal permanent residents and US citizens and detaining them illegally.
He didn’t fire her because she was keeping children in fetid, rancid concentration camps without access to clean water, fresh food or medical care.
He didn’t fire her for turning our cities into militarized war zones.

He fired her because she made him “look bad.”

That was the red line.
None of the other things were.

There are tapes?

Holy shit. There are tapes!!!
