JB Pritzker burned down the barn in NH with his undisguised outrage. And his plain honest rhetoric.
“We have a Sec. of Edu. who hates teachers and schools. We have a Sec. of Transportation who hates public transit. We have an AG who hates the Constitution. We have a Sec. of State, the son of naturalized citizens—a family of refugees—on a crusade to expel our country of both.”
“We have a head of DOGE— an immigrant granted the privilege of living and working here, a man who has made hundreds of billions of dollars after the government rescued his business for him—who is looking to destroy the American middle class to fund tax cuts for himself. And we have a President who claims to love America but who hates our military so much that he calls them ‘losers’ and ‘suckers’ and who can’t be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen US soldiers. And we have a GOP so afraid of the felon and the fraud that they put in the WH that they would sooner watch him destroy our country than lift a hand to save it.”
“Stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research. And time to stop thinking we can reason or negotiate with a madman. Time to stop apologizing when we were NOT wrong. Time to stop surrendering, when we need to fight.”
“Our small businesses don’t deserve to be bankrupted by unsustainable tariffs. Our retirees don’t deserve to be left destitute by a SSA decimated by Elon Musk. Our citizens don’t deserve to lose healthcare coverage because Republicans want to hand a tax cut to billionaires. Our federal workers don’t deserve to have, well, a 19-year-old DOGE bro called Big Balls destroy their careers.”
“Autistic kids and adults don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in the backseat of his car.”
“Our military servicemembers don’t deserve to be told by a washed up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much and committed sexual assault before being appointed Sec. of Def. that they can’t serve this country simply because they’re Black or gay or a woman.”
“And If it sounds like I’m becoming contemptuous of Donald Trump and the people that he has elevated, it’s because... I am. You should be too. They are an affront to every value this country was founded upon.”
“These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soap box, and then punish them at the ballot box. They must feel in their bones that when we survive this shameful episode of American history with our democracy intact—because we have no alternative but to do just that—that we will relegate their portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traitors.”
Amen brother.
