[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority.

There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the @IL_Natl_Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about “law and order,” it’s about creating chaos.

Our National Guard should be used when absolutely necessary and when local law enforcement needs it—

Not forced on our communities to intimidate citizens and inflame tensions Trump created in the first place.

Trump is using military force to crush civilian dissent.

It’s un-American.

Tell me again how AI is ready for primetime, the answer to all that ails us, and not in a bubble. I'll wait.

Amazon: Tariffs are making things more expensive.

White House: No they aren’t.

Amazon: *shows prices with tariffs*

White House: This is a hostile and political act!

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

The people still defending the tariffs now are the equivalent of people who defended Biden running for re-election even after the debate. The best litmus tests I've ever seen for complete partisan hackery.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., put jokes aside when she appeared on the political satire The Daily Show this week as she criticized the Trump administration’s treatment of veterans.

Wire services including Reuters and Bloomberg News will no longer hold a permanent slot in the small pool of reporters who cover Trump, the White House said, as it moves to exert greater control over who gets to ask him questions and report in real time https://t.co/78ksetfjV3

[POLITICO @politico]

EXCLUSIVE: Trump has told his inner circle, including members of his Cabinet, that Elon Musk will soon be stepping back from his current role as governing partner, ubiquitous cheerleader and Washington hatchet man.

PR and comms folks: Journalists tend to hate April Fool's Day fake press releases and company "announcements." If you waste my time with these, I will wish the wrath of 10,000 fire ants on you.

[World Economic Forum @wef]

The specter of #stagflation—a toxic mix of stagnating growth and rising inflation—has been haunting economies again. Once considered a relic of the 1970s, stagflation’s resurgence demands a fresh look at economic management. https://t.co/HJBxG02kGQ

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Exclusive: Over the years, Elon Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, a Post analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person. https://t.co/URhMXm1pZ2

Love this show and glad to see all the wins. But for the millionth time, it's not a freaking comedy.

Jeremy Allen White won the #Emmy for lead actor in a comedy series for "The Bear."

"This show has changed my life," White said when accepting the award. https://t.co/QhtaqVhgi2

If you’re in your 40s or 60s and suddenly feel older, it might not be all in your head. Scientists suggest we age in “waves” at certain points of our lives. https://t.co/tHPNxKgkem https://t.co/tHPNxKgkem

I love Chicago so damn much.

[Katie Pyzyk @_PyintheSky]

I hate it when newscasters (or anyone, really) say an #Olympic athlete "had to settle for" a silver or bronze. Imagine insinuating that someone's incredible, medal-winning, sometimes nearly superhuman accomplishments are a failure just because they didn't get a gold. smh
