Gov. J.B. Pritzker On Invoking the 25th Amendment & Trump's Iran TACO Deal (Find Out podcast on YouTube)

We are very excited to have Governor J.B. Pritzker (D. IL) on the Find Out Podcast. Governor Pritzker has long been one of Trump's loudest critics, fighting him every step of the way. Last year, Governor Pritzker was the first Democratic Governor and potential 2028 presidential candidate to call for invoking the 25th Amendment. Pritzker renewed his call after Trump threatened to end Iran's whole civilization if they didn't meet his deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Despite reaching a two week ceasefire, Governor Pritzker also points out that Trump didn't really secure much of a deal with Iran after all his threats. In fact, Governor Pritzker points out that Mr. Art Of The Deal ended up with another TACO deal. It's very clear that something is mentally wrong with Trump, especially after this whole ordeal, and now is the perfect time to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Trump's illegal war with Iran wasn't the only thing on our minds when we interviewed the Governor. Pritzker opens up about how Trump still owes every American family $1,700 after the Supreme Court ruled his tariffs were illegal. The Governor also touches upon his ideas for Democrats to address affordability concerns including homeownership, raising wages and making it easier to join or start a union.

Trump ‘looking at all options’ amid threats to invoke Insurrection Act, Vance says

Pritzker responded to the veiled threat by accusing Vance of coming out with a "tidal wave of lies". The governor told This Week that he was not intimidated by the prospect of prosecution as has befallen the former FBI director James Comey and the New York attorney general Letitia James, who have both been indicted in recent days.

Weekly Roundup: Everyone Who Opposes Trump is Antifa + MAGA Christians Are Being Visited by Charlie Kirk (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

What happens when political language becomes so distorted that anyone opposing Donald Trump is branded as “lawless,” “Antifa,” or even an “insurrectionist”? In this episode, Brad and Dan unpack how these labels have become empty signifiers… tools for dismissing dissent and consolidating power under what they call the “rule of Trump.”

They break down recent Senate hearings, including Pam Bondi’s heated appearance, as a case study in this rhetorical shift. The hosts examine how religious and constitutional language are being weaponized to legitimize political actions and blur the line between patriotism and partisanship.

Brad and Dan also reflect on the murder of Charlie Kirk and the troubling way his image is being used for both political and theological capital. The conversation turns to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s call for state resistance to federal overreach, prompting a deeper look at how “states’ rights” has evolved (and been repurposed) throughout American history.

Texas national guard troops head to Illinois after judge fails to block move

The Illinois governor, JB Pritzker, said the Trump administration had not discussed plans to federalize the state's national guard or to send in troops from other states. "We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's invasion," he said in a statement. "It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois national guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops."… 

 "The American people, regardless of where they reside, should not live under the threat of occupation by the United States military, particularly not simply because their city or state leadership has fallen out of a president's favor," the lawsuit says…

Senator Dick Durbin demands to meet with Ice amid clashes at immigration facility

The Trump administration has called the protesters "rioters", accusing them of inciting violence. On Saturday afternoon, Ice posted on X: "Rioters will not deter Ice from its law enforcement mission. All those assaulting or obstructing will be held accountable. Full stop." In another post on Sunday morning, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said 11 people were arrested outside the Ice facility – and that officials had confiscated two guns during the arrests. 

In response, the Illinois governor, JB Pritzker, decried the force used by federal officials at the site. He also called on protesters and bystanders to "document what you see with your phones and cameras". "The suggestion that chemical agents like tear gas or pepper spray could be used indiscriminately against peaceful demonstrators, or even first responders, is unacceptable and not normal," Pritzker posted on X. 

"By observing and recording peacefully, we can ensure that any violations of the law are brought to light and those responsible are held accountable."…
