Why would any legislator vote for a budget the executive will ignore? In that situation, a yes vote conveys one thing and nothing else: validation for the White House’s blatantly unconstitutional actions.

I only saw brief lowlights of the Testosterone TED Talk by our preening dipshit secdef and it was so much worse than I imagined. That clown would be a third rate car salesman in Chicago. Nobody would buy his BS for a second

ICE is here in Chicago, clearly going after the worst of the worse, or as they apparently call it, "Adorable families with small children attempting to enjoy an early fall day at a park." May shame follow those participating in this cruelty for the rest of their lives.

As long as we cannot get past arguing about the political beliefs of mass shooters we cannot talk about gun policies

Check out their recent album It’s a Beautiful Place. It’s good!

Downtown Chicago, today. The little girl …

Kmet have money on this game?

'out of the three mass shootings today'

My diagnosis: many/most US golfers and their fans are spoiled little brats

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

I’ll echo the Heartworms hype. Great first album Glutton for Punishment. Source: YouTube share.google/cLguFGFGYO9a...

I love how SPRINTS is always asking about everybody else’s feelings in their lyrics. With songs like Rage and Need they’re not hiding theirs. Great second album All That is Over youtu.be/MoSdVXTq3Rw

Kagan: The so-called irreparable harm that the Trump administration says it suffers is merely "the price of living under a Constitution that gives Congress the power to make spending decisions through the enactment of appropriations laws...a frustration any President must bear."

If some dogfighting kingpin buys some of his crypto or fluffs him on social media, this will happen theonion.com/trump-attend...

All the rushed BS that came out of the WH the past two days was surely due to the fact that the GOP prez will be sitting on his ass watching golf all weekend.

The GOP president dictates who faces criminal charges & who doesn’t. The GOP president dictates the cost of trucks & sofas etc via irrational tariffs. The GOP president decides what boats to blow up or not blow up. The GOP president dictates what medicines are good & bad. The GOP gave us a dictator.

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it. It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019. This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad. Or wasn't, until now.

The wiener circle gal should’ve definitely called the whole park a bunch of mf’ers

Nobody knows who that guy was, except if you’re on this site or the other site

Young liars remains one of my favorite songs to see performed live

Apparently the answer is Jamiroquai

Five years ago all this stuff about Trump's serial abuse came up. Women who had been minors at the time told their stories. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

How did this article come to exist? Is there a lonely single guy PR operation? Without commenting on the individuals in this item, I would like to suggest we stop highlighting the plight of men at this moment in time. Just a thought. apple.news/AgqHpNo4KSwe...

The GOP is coming for all who oppose it. They’re targeting the vulnerable first, but they won’t stop there.

Ben Johnson seems pretty intense

Chicago forever

If they stick with the informant stuff, it should absolutely implicate the jackass, but watch the media spin it sideways into some hero story

My message to Donald Trump is very simple.

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

President Bone Spurs the strongman. What an absolute joke. The GOP is living in a racist, fascist fantasyland.

This is abhorrent. America should not tolerate a president relishing in Pinochet-style rule over our own citizens.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

To simplify the racist GOP send in the jackboots BS: Blue cities=crime-ridden hellholes GOP solution: send in the immigration enforcers because Immigrants=criminals. Related GOP solution: send in the troops to blue cities to terrorize black & brown CITIZENS because Black & brown people=criminals

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Everyone talks about murder rates in blue cities but mostly fail to mention that cities in red states have murder rates far higher. I wonder why. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/05/s...

While everyone talks about crime in cities, statewide murder rates are ignored. I wonder why. Murder rates significantly higher in GOP-controlled states www.thirdway.org/report/the-2...

Our mayor can’t do anything right. With this pathetic choice, he further alienates good government type voters in order to hopefully solidify support from an old school power broker? More compromised decisions surely to come for the rest of his term due to his deep electoral/political weakness.

When President Obama worked in the Oval Office without wearing a suit jacket, the news networks went crazy because he was, in the words of this UPI caption, "breaking a tradition of former U.S. President George W. Bush"
