I want to make a fun dessert tonight but am lacking in ideas. Who's got something?

What city does the national news hate the most? 1. Washington, DC 2. Chicago, IL 3. Baltimore, MD

While I would like to say Chicago, and I think it's up there, I'd actually go with one of the following: - Jackson, MS - Memphis, TN - New Orleans, LA

1100 Pennsylvania is just five (5) subscribers away from reaching my goal of 4,081 subscribers. Please help! Also, it's free and you'll stay informed about the Trump family's rampant profiteering. Thanks!

🚨 The government OPPOSES @brianstraw.bsky.social’s motion to preserve all communications from and within the AUSA’s office related to the Broadview 6 case, which was dropped yesterday due to gross prosecutorial misconduct 🚨

WE DID IT, JOE

Again the lead prosecutor on this case when it was presented to the grand jury currently works for Dick Durbin as counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats.

Between Kean and Frederica Wilson, I feel strongly that staff owes it to constituents to share what is going on with their bosses. They serve a district, not one person.

If you haven’t yet, go to your Account settings and 𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝟮-𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. “Settings ➡️ Privacy & Security” Doooo iiiiit now.

the best damn city in the world

Yes! ++ Cooking, personal finance, basic human anatomy, and certain types of home maintenance.

And his last act was to say the left was doing it wrong, what a microcosm of the older generation's hold on the party's establishment wing.

This is the same guy who threatened the Pope.

Seeing @benmckenzie.bsky.social's Everyone Is Lying to You for Money movie and could not be more excited to see some folks get proven fools.

This is the kind of thing that makes people think Democrats are the same as Republicans and there's no point in participating in the electoral process.

Chicagoland has seen a steady pace of ICE sighting + abduction alerts all week. After one person was taken in Waukegan yesterday, this morning feds are dispersed broadly across the burbs again. Seen in Round Lake Beach and Joliet so far. A worker was snatched at a Bolingbrook Burger King at 5:30am.

there's a reason that out of the 5 great lakes bots, michigan has the largest following by far bsky.app/profile/lake...

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

for real though happy Great Lakes Awareness Day. your life will be improved if you are aware of the Great Lakes and most especially Lake Michigan my beloved

📢✊MAY DAY: See you TODAY, 1:00 pm at Chicago's Union Park!

Nonstop rapid response alerts to ICE sightings in Chicagoland so far this morning.

FDR’s Fireside chat on March 9, 1937 explaining his proposal to expand the Supreme Court stands up surprisingly well. “We have reached the point as a nation where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court and the Court from itself.”/1

Amazing to see the movie itself advertised on The Hollywood Reporter's article about why journalism gets on board with a movie like this.

CHICAGO FOREVER

It is absolutely ridiculous that we have to live with this kind of person in power and that federal agents don't resign en masse.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku has caused widespread damage in the Northern Mariana Islands, leaving many without power and urgent need for supplies. www.rnz.co.nz/news/pacific...

Your past actions matter more than saying the right thing in a political campaign, IMO

Typhoon #Sinlaku has made a direct landfall on the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan & Tinian); a US territory. While the storm weakened from its peak intensity (180 mph; 1-min avg; Category 5), it still struck as a powerful Category 4-equivalent storm.

Might as well continue with disappointing the people you represent by posting your resignation statement on a site every Democratic politician should have left by now, huh?

Crimin' Pope Leo

Can men just be better people please? Just... all of them?

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights is reporting an uptick in ICE activity across the Chicago area over the last week, incl. reported abductions at Cook County courthouses and immigration check ins. Chicago neighborhoods of reported activity include Rogers Park, Austin and Pilsen.

This is exactly the bullshit that Nancy Pelosi went with: her "he's not worth impeaching" line and then Trump try to overturn an election and the Capitol itself got attacked. Leadership never learns.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Remember being a kid and thinking adults knew what they were doing? I miss that.

Makes me want to move further away from cash than ever before.

Father of six, grabbed in front of his crying children as he was about to take them to school.

I get that this has been almost entirely theater but I actually think it's quite bad if the people of DC become habituated to the presence of military personnel in the streets, for a whole host of reasons

Is that @meredithshiner.com's music I hear?

I early voted yesterday and used the @injusticewatch.org guide to learn more about the judges on the ballot. Thanks to @danhinkel.bsky.social et al!
