Democratic govs line up to fight Trump even as they dance around criminal illegal migrants

The Resistance may seem a thin shadow of what it was during Donald Trump’s first term — but it still has beaucoup horsepower, which leaves ambitious Dem politicos jockeying for place ahead of 2026 and 2028 stuck trying to thread the needle on the border crisis.

Like Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, facing a re-election fight in 2026 and hungrily eyeing the White House after that.

The bumptious billionaire has already done incalculable damage to his state via woke policies.

And he ain’t stopping now!

Pritzker recently offered a Kafka-esque defense of his plan to simply ignore federal law and refuse to comply with some of the president’s deportation efforts.

There’s “a law in the books in Illinois that says that our local law enforcement will stand up for those law-abiding undocumented people in our state,” said J.B.

Huh? “Law-abiding” illegal immigrants? There’s no such thing: They came here illegally.

On the other hand, the hotel heir is now firmly in favor of kicking out “asylum seekers” who commit “other” crimes.

But Pritzker is far from the only state executive playing cynical power politics around immigration to buff up electability cred.

Mass. Gov. Maura Healey, the wokest of the woke on the East Coast (and that’s saying something), also faces a possible ’26 contest.

She’s outlined a self-contradictory approach similar to Pritzker’s, saying in the fall, “I still remain opposed on efforts to target large swaths of an undocumented population who’ve done nothing wrong other than they’re here without lawful presence.”

Who’s going to be the first
domino to fall?
Aiding and abetting is unconstitutional.

I’m betting JB of Illinois will be the first. He’s a big target. When he’s arrested, all of the other dominos will fall.

Looks to me like Homan is gunning for at least one example in one of the four city mayors now being brought to testify in Congress. Congress will give ‘em some rope, we’ll see which of ‘em hang emselves.

Cities are: Boston, NY, LA, Chicago.

My hope is on Boston mayor Wu, as woke as they come.

Yeah but that idiot in chicongo is the dumbest by far and more likely to step into a trap first......and I don’t think being black will help, as his black constituents want to tear him apart.

Jabba the Hutt met with Biden in the WH shortly before Biden left, to find out where the floors in the historic building need reinforcement.

A real conceptual continuity between MAGA and woke-ism does not exist except for RINO/Democrat/Deep State/Legacy Media/Globalist alliances, and they are deep-seated enough to adulterate the purity of any conceptual continuity between the Democrat Party and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Hope that ICE ordered their black Yukons with HD suspensions!

Agreed. Trump needs the example.
A big domino must fall.

Amusing watching a morbidly obese man like Pritzker try to tie himself on knots.

Oh no, the Pritzker’s need to be kept as far away from the White House as possible.

James Nicholas Pritzker, the governor’s cousin is a “trans” . He’s a billionaire and he spends quite a bit funding that movement.

Former Sec of Commerce under Obunga , Penny Pritzker was appointed by Pedo Joe as the U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery.

These folks are poison, they hate America.

I would love to see these various “sanctuary” nitwits imprisoned for at least 4 years without trial (and harassed while being held captive). There is precedent. Goose meet Gander.

Have you no Dems among your family or close friends?

Many are good and loving people, however grotesquely misguided their politics may be.

No one who supports child molesting, mutilation, the racist DEI, or other Democratic Party positions is a good person. They are either monsters orare protecting monsters.
