"The senator tries to blame the president for a 'Monday Night Football' blackout." Aside from the usual double standard of him blaming Democrats for everything bad that happens when they have the presidency, he calls her "Pocahontas". She gets to blame him for anything she wants.

Does the Presidential Walk of Fame have all the Presidents or just Republicans?

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Some screenshots from itp_chicago IG. You can see how federal agents stake their presence around some of these communities in intersections in the middle of traffic and sidewalks in front of businesses. This feels very particular to the SW Side with Little Village being a prime target for this.

FDR would've felt incredibly vindicated by all of this. A core proposition of the New Deal was that the country's ruling class was incapable — at best — of defending the Constitution, and that it was up to a dissident vanguard of intellectuals, in conjunction with workers and farmers, to do it.

Tonight was the inaugural ride of our new home buyout program. We connect with vendors too scared to be out, and we purchase from them at home. Tonight we bought 250 tamales, divided into 3 teams to deliver all over the city to folks on the street, Love Fridges, and a youth shelter.

This story is gold. 😂

Nancy Pelosi made history and helped pave the way for women in the House today. It's also good that she's retiring and making way for those women.

Power didn’t scare her, and neither does history. Nancy Pelosi led when others hid, stood tall when others folded. She got us through the first Trump term fearlessly. A fighter. A force. A first. All the flowers for a leader who never blinked. 🌹

Patriarchy only works if we fear men, and we now know that not a single powerful man on earth considers themselves to be more fearsome than Donald John Trump. Not one. THAT is the best the Patriarchy has produced?

Your reminder that the Roberts Court's apparent unwillingness to serve as Trump's privy council in the tariffs case is an anomaly

Kinda similar energy

I listened to the Supreme Court's oral argument today so you dont have to With the notable exception of Alito & Thomas carrying on like 'what if aliens were gonna destroy the world and the only thing that could stop it was a tariff,' the Court seemed Not Into It ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/learn...

Beware people trying to minimize Mamdani's win by comparing his number to other democrats in other races. Those other democrats didn't run a three-way race with two democrats and a republican. Getting more than 50% in a three way race is a DECISIVE win. Folks saying otherwise are just mad

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

"Jews in Nazi Germany weren't sufficiently frightened of Hitler and look what happened to them, so you shouldn't make fun of me for being afraid of Zohran Mamdani." Well, that's certainly one way of looking at it.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Today is the feast day of St Illtyd - Welsh saint and cousin of King Arthur. His school at Llanilltud Fawr is one of Britain’s first centres of learning, and legend says he turned two robbers to stone - one still stands on the misty slopes of Mynydd Illtud, Bannau Brycheiniog. 🌫️

This was very good, I need to re-watch today. There were a few times I wanted to rewind to view scenes again and couldn't because I was watching live. Also realized last night was the first time I saw Sarah Lorge Butler's face while talking. 😂

100% correct. The Dem ads about Trump weren't just "orange man bad." They were: I'm focused on lowering costs while my GOP opponent is serving Trump, who is raising costs with tariffs, canceling infrastructure, etc.

Thursday's Chicago start with an autumn accent.

Excellent piece and worth reading. They’re serious about wanting to repeal the 19th Amendment, and things to look out for along the way include efforts to control access to contraception and to eliminate no-fault divorce, both of which are widely discussed on the right even away from the fringes.

The hed now reads "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace" and the dek reads "And if so, can conservative feminism fix it?" ✌🏾Conservative feminism✌🏾 is an oxymoron.
