"She was meant to live long past that, I would have thought. More accurately, to my own heart, she was supposed to outlive me, which is both absurd and understandable — and I feel no need to reconcile that contradiction."

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.   It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Nearly all employees within the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) were dismissed in Friday’s reduction-in-force, leaving only a few senior officials and administrative staff.

Liar 🤥

Donald Trump is now giving a speech…pretending that this “Peace Deal,” isn’t really about a beach front property real estate deal.

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment. He is a seriously unwell individual.

Tonight I watched a Diane Keaton movie I hadn't seen in decades, Shoot the Moon (easily rentable on various services). She's so remarkable as a mother of four watching her marriage break up--she goes from crushed to liberated to uncertain to furious to resolute in a completely idiosyncratic way.

Congratulations to all the runners today at the Chicago Marathon! I hope you’re taking a moment after crossing the finish line and enjoying all that the best big city in the nation has to offer.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

Diane Keaton was my movie mom... the actress I would choose to play my mom in a movie, because she reminds me of mine in so many ways. My mom's birthday was yesterday, and she's only 6 years younger than Diane. I feel so emotional and I can't stop crying 😩

Today is my birthday. I'm 39, but I'm so ready for my 40s. I'm eager to get to them. I wrote about why here.

If journalistic malpractice was a crime, Kristen Welker would be serving a life sentence.

@filosia.bsky.social thank you for the add to your Starter Pack 🙂

Kamala Harris: "I think he has a vengeance campaign, which is really exposing the petty nature of who he is and his deep level of insecurity."

RIP Diane Keaton you were so cool and I loved you in The First Wives Club

I think it should be clear at this point that like the US federal government has collapsed. There are no branches. There are no rules. There is just one man and his truth social posts.

Rest in Peace, Diane Keaton. Thank you for your work and for your many wonderful performances. My favorite was your role as Louise Bryant in "REDS" (1981). 🗃️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ur1...

You could have given me a thousand guesses on which celebrity death would come today, and not one of them would have been the great Diane Keaton.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79. people.com/diane-keaton...

RIP the great Diane Keaton. That is all.

I can't imagine a world without Diane Keaton. I worked with her on a movie project back in the day, and she was everything you'd expect and want her to be. Hilarious, kind, authentic, unassuming. Real. RIP to one of the greatest ever.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Dear WH Press Corp You should be ashamed of yourself. Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him. ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents Hold him accountable for the lies. Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these. Demand the proof

United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, flanked by Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, get loudly booed in Tel Aviv, Israel as they praise Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president. Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Praying for this amazing man.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey. I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

🫡 I'll be there in Daytona Beach Florida! October 18! 🚫 👑 !

If you look closely at the indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, you will find something very interesting. Both of them contain a tremendous amount of, what we refer to as, “bullshit”.

Today Trump visited Walter Reed and underwent another single-pass albumin dialysis (SPAD) procedure for his failing liver. Decades-long cocaine abuse ✓ Decades-long Adderall abuse ✓

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

IT'S FASCISM!!

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…” Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Not today, Satan‼️

This is the way www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Does my heart good to know that it angers the orange felon that he wasn’t gifted the Nobel Peace Prize.

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Yes, so embarrassing.

live your life in such a way that the entire world doesn't laugh its ass off when you don't get the Nobel Peace Prize

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thank God and the Nobel Peace Prize judges. He ain't getting it. He's getting the first big NO that really matters to him.
