To be clear, there is never a time when condemning political violence is wrong. But Democrats need to choose their words today, under these circumstances, very carefully. In the clip below, Pritzker does just that: He condemns the shooting, he offers condolences, then he says this.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Asked if one of those employees was Virginia Giuffre: "I don't know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people. Yeah, he stole her."
Asked if any of the workers Epstein took were young women: "Well, I don't want to say, but everyone knows the people that were taken …. And the answer is yes, they were. In the spa. Yeah, people that work in the spa."

I want to be clear that you have to understand this as part of Trump's mob boss mentality. Trump was totally fine with, and probably a participant in, Epstein's child sex trafficking. But when Epstein trafficked HIS girls, out of HIS spa, for HIS guests, that was an intolerable offense.
Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here. Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre? Trump: I think so. He stole her.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

The Trump admin's new talking point on the Big Beautiful Bill: we're going to deport all the farm laborers and make people on Medicaid work in the fields to earn their health insurance.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

👀” Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point, according to figures shared with staff Monday evening. … In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process.” @marisakabas.bsky.social
