JB Pritzker one of the first to respond to the OMB freeze

[Arazi]

Not much to his statement but I’m sure the late notification of this freeze was deliberately timed to catch folks after they’re out of the office. Anyone else heard of other Dem political leaders reacting yet?

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority.

In Illinois, we will stand against unlawful actions that would harm millions of working families, children, and seniors.

2. Patty Murray and Rose DeLauro weigh in!

NEW: The two top Democratic appropriators, Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, write to Trump budget office:

"The scope of what you are ordering is breathtaking, unprecedented, and will have devastating consequences across the country."

Come on Dems! Get fired up please!

3. Anyone have a bet on who gets the first lawsuit in by 8am?

I’m hopeful there’s a federal injunction by the afternoon but someone’s got to get it into the right court at the open.

Ill be very curious it it’s Pritzker - still watching for any other Dems to respond since he appears to be the only one awake

4. A letter - good start

What’s next?

These are hair on fire moments….

5. tRump is causing chaos with outrageous Ex. Orders for a reason.

I ask the question....What is he and his mafia crew actually up to that require such a Tsunami of distracting EX. orders? It appears he needs the media to stay off his trail and Democrats to be completely overwhelmed with saving the Constitution....

He is always up to no good. Not one GOP'er is outraged and actively protecting the Constitution...just preforming lip service if that....

6. Grifters finding new ways to steal

They are thieves.

7. JB has been great!!!

I think it's his background......
He knows how to deal with the Trumps of the world!!
He was so composed, yet forceful in Friday's presser...


Give em hell, JB!!

The Pritzkers have consistently been near the top of the Forbes "America's Richest Families" list since its 1982 inception.

8. We should be hearing this from every blue state each time Trump oversteps his power.

[Arazi]

9. This action will hit red states even harder

They’re far more reliant on federal dollars.

This is such a massive step - he’s basically taken a sledgehammer to our democracy last night. Everyone should be alarmed

10. Kaine and Warner step up
