Tom Cotton again πŸ™„

" I don't know anything about that pardoned drug smuggler president from South America". Chair of the Senate intelligence committee no less. These Republicans sure don't seem to know an awful lot of what's going on πŸ˜‘

Tom Cotton is such a little bitch. He should be forced to change his last name to Synthetic Fiber Blend.

If the crewmen who survived the first strike on the boat Sept. 2 were in such good shape that they were still "in the fight," as Tom Cotton claims, let's see the damn video – all of it.

I thought I'd be funny and ask my dad "guess who shat on the kitchen floor last night" but he actually stopped and thought about it before answering "I HOPE it was the dog" so unfortunately he's funnier

Powerful to rally today with several hundred teachers, families, and community members in support of West Contra County teachers!

Our community supports the strike and will be out in the streets every day until teachers get a fair contract.

Something is definitely going on here. This is a video where I'm talking about what seems to be going on with the unfortunate president. They're not telling us the truth for sure. This was an interesting post I saw on here and I just wanted to expand on it a little bit. Check it out.

Pokemon should cater to the girls who like it more. Pokemon game that’s just pokemon contests. Pokemon game where you dress them up and make houses for them and take care of them. Pokemon game that’s hey you pikachu x nintendogs where you play with them like a virtual pet.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

Gulf Coast train line is among the most successful in Amtrak’s history. See ridership totals. The route’s early success has raised hope for some advocates of regional train travel. See how many people have taken the train since its launch in August.

Amtrak's restored service between New Orleans and Mobile has far exceeded initial ridership projections since launch in August, just like what happened when the Borealis service was established between Chicago and St. Paul last year.

Amtrak is currently expecting to double the first-year estimates.

Opinion | β€˜I’ve Been Doing This Work for 25 Years, and I’ve Never Seen Such Fear’

I've known Matt DeMateo for almost 20 years and I am so glad to see the work of New Life Centers uplifted: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/o... - Matt is the real deal and he would be the first to refuse to be pedestaled. But he really is a singular human being. Chicago is lucky to have him.

When I taught Civics, I used Supreme Court cases to trace our expansion of rights to demonstrate democratic values.

If I were still teaching Civics today, I would need to place the concepts of 'precedent,' 'stare decisis,' and 'rule of law' in the trash bin.

This SCOTUS is corrupt.

Chicago has a 10-cent bag tax/fee/whatever, so a lot of times if you're buying something small, the associate will be like, "You don't need a bag, do you?"
Today I was buying one (1) book.
Sales associate: You don't need a bag, do you?
Me: I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I NEED A BAG, PLEASE.

I went to my brother-in-law’s ceremony in Chicago about 6 years ago. The roll call when they asked people to rise as they listed off the countries of origin was the most moving part.

Solving the regional Pizza Dispute with my Pizza is Dogs Philosophy.

NY pizza is a greyhound, sleek, efficient, lean. Chicago pizza is a St. Bernard, big, fluffy, slobbery.

Both are still dogs and both are still pizza.
