NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

It’s important to realize that the subtext of Trump freaking out at Kaitlan Collins when she asks him what he’d say to the Epstein survivors is that she may in practice be asking what he’d say to the *Trump* survivors, and they both know that. A well worded question

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Heyo, Chicago pals: Quick note that the executive vice president of the Bob Loquercio Auto Group is vociferously defending the murder of Alex Pretti. The auto group has 16 locations in and around Chicago, listed below. Please take your business elsewhere. www.blautogroup.com/locations/in...

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

One of my priors is that things are really bad if I am coming across news related to the bond market.

Watch my address on the ongoing federal presence in Minnesota: youtu.be/fGTsYXBWQgU

Granted I’m biased but I actually don’t think that looking like a lesbian should justify summary executions.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

is there some way I can quickly unlearn all of history so as to feel better about recent events

once again everyone would have been happier, Trump included, if we just Truman Showed him and let him play pretend president on the teevee

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

reporter takes 12 edibles…one hour later:

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

She’s my new hero

“Housing shortage – Jews to blame," letter sticker, German Reich, 1938 zwangsraeume.berlin/en/context

“.. we want you to know that what’s happening here is not normal. .. It is not law enforcement; it is terror. “.. It’s eroding all of our rights and should be a warning to other cities that find themselves enveloped in an ICE storm.” @chicagotribune.com www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/13/l...

Not a single risotto recipe in the bunch

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat. Inside rising GOP leaders’ racist chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than 7 months👇

when you tie a tie, try to put in a dimple, like so

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Chicago, Illinois, 2025: "They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van." "They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other." "I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'" abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

But also we’re terrified of the subway

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Just sitting here. Wondering how JD Vance feels about him going after upholstered furniture...

On one hand, this random Florida insurance lawyer has no experience as a prosecutor. On the other hand, she has the right hair

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

Trying to cancel Hulu. Have hit cancel my subscription like 6 times and it just refreshes back to my account page. Anyone found a workaround to get this done?

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

They're going to keep going until they get trans people killed. They want trans people murdered en mass.

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.

The point of college is not to enter with a set of beliefs and stick to them, defending them in debates. Students learn to question received wisdom, understand multiple perspectives, and value evidence, guided by expertise. In fact, that's what many attacking higher ed actually object to. Thread.

What a truly disgusting week for American journalism.

It's wild to watch the central tenets of white supremacy -- that this is a world for white people and no one else -- work their way from like racist sheriffs smashing Black people's taillights all the way up to 6 Ivy League grads codifying "it's okay to smash taillights" into law.

the supreme court says you can never use race to help people but you can always use race to hurt people

Many official communications channels of the US government are controlled by people who celebrate the Nazi party and the response of our elite news and political institutions has been to look the other way and not say anything about it.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
