I thought you bypassed @barackobama.bsky.social as Trump's mortal Chicago enemy, but Pope Leo beat both of you.

I am not a Catholic and never paid this much attn to a Pope before. 👀 🍿
Trump's outburst about the pope this Sunday is nuttier than the Easter post on Iran.
I know it won't happen like this, but a small part of me wants Pope Leo and former President Barack H. Obama to finally meet up like this. @barackobama.bsky.social #chicagopope #whitesoxsky
Ok but reading that first thing and I'm now picturing noir detective Chicago Pope hunting down Al Capone.
Well, it looks like @govpritzker.illinois.gov has company with who Trump cannot stand more from Chicago. He's off the rails complaining about the pope this Sunday after going at Iran on Easter.
Can we revisit his "Christian" religious values again? #popeleo
Chicago is riding for the Pope. Guess who we are largely NOT f**king with? 😤
Whether your dream is to be a TV star, an A-list director, or a renowned cinematographer, Illinois is the place to be.
We have the workforce, infrastructure, sound stages — and there’s simply an inherent air of creativity and passion here.

CBS News Headline: Illinois sues Trump Administration over executive order on mail-in ballots
Donald Trump is doing everything he can to steal the midterm elections.
We’ll see him in court.
This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country.
It's past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.
Accountability is what Illinoisans are owed for the terror that occurred during Operation Midway Blitz.
President Trump and his accomplices should answer directly to the people of Illinois for what they unleashed on our state.
The WNBA free agency period opened with a bombshell trade on April 6 when the Atlanta Dream acquired Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky in exchange for two first-round draft picks, a deal that could have significant financial implications for both teams.

Donald Trump is trying to rig our next election.
Let's be clear: how Illinois chooses to run its elections is up to the state, not the President, as the Constitution sets.
We're fighting back.

States have authority to regulate the time, place and manner of federal elections. There is no statute that authorizes the executive branch to determine who is entitled to vote in federal elections.

🤦🏾♀️I knew Illinois would make it onto this list.
That the Court is even hearing this case is negatively remarkable.
Anything from the Justices, other than a 9-0 ruling supporting the plain language, the clear history and strong precedent, is absurd.
This guy has seen one too many episodes of "Paradise" and his new plan is to hide in the White House forever if he cannot get his unconstitutional third term. Why else would he need a bunker in the East Room? That stopped being built and the EE order against mail-in starts. bsky.app/profile/sham...
This is an intimidation tactic solely to work on Amy Coney Barrett. Possibly Neil M. Gorsuch but mainly Barrett. I don't think Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan or Ketanji Brown Jackson will give a damn. Brett M. Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are probably doing 🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️ to see their friend.
This is unconstitutional. Voting is a fundamental right for every American. Illinois will keep administering free and fair elections – and what Donald Trump puts on a piece of paper will not change that.
Macquline King, the interim CEO of Chicago Public Schools, has been hired as permanent leader.

BREAKING: Trump signed a sweeping executive order targeting mail-in voting, building on a pattern of executive overreach.
While experts said it’s likely to be blocked by the courts, the order marks the most aggressive federal action yet in the president’s ongoing campaign against mail voting.
