Sports betting is going to save sports? No, sorry, that’s backwards

If this is the lifeline, maybe it’s time for the patient to die

As the Senate tries to defend a million dollar payday to 8 of their own - and as the House GOP tries to explain why they refused to amend the CR to strip it out, let's review exactly what it is they want restitution for. Brief thread:

My 8-year-old regularly goes for a spoonful of peanut butter bedtime snack and tonight… tonight she added peanuts on top

No luck with the northern lights at Leone Beach, but it was really nice to see a lot of like-minded Rogers Parkers out there!

Hmm yeah this guy deserves a trillion dollars

At this rate @durbin.senate.gov ‘s obit lede is gonna read, “Couldn’t muster the courage to stand up to a pedophile destroying the republic”

Yeah congrats to everyone who helped elect a despicable human being to the highest office in the land not once but TWICE

What a credulous dipshit. Have you fucking not been paying attention at all @durbin.senate.gov

You are so washed, bro. GTFO

How about you find it in your heart to step down NOW and let Pritzker appoint someone who will actually do their fucking job

Ah, I see, Republicans want single-payer now. Cool, let’s do it, guys

Fuck this so hard. What a bunch of shitbag troll domestic terrorists

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

The Republican Senate majority is built on minority rule, enabled by unequal representation & the two-party system.

The GOP hasn’t won more total votes or represented more people than Dems since the 1990s. They’ve won the Senate in 7 of 13 elections since 2000 anyway

Fucking bullshit that the Senate votes on a Sunday night on something like this after more than a month. Vote when people are paying attention you fucking cowards, and pick up your goddamn phones

@durbin.senate.gov you fucking suck just resign now and spare us the next year of this bullshit

ICE agent in Chicago draws and trains a firearm on protestors armed with iPhones. Trump's America in 2025.

ICE/CPB thugs tackled a nonverbal autistic man outside a Family Dollar in Chicago’s Little Village claiming he was “noncompliant.”

Witnesses begged them to stop. “Why they beating up this special boy?” one worker cried. “He comes in every day for a treat. He has the mind of a child.” 🤬🤬🤬

The DOJ has been firing judges with immigrant defense backgrounds NPR's data analysis shows that the DOJ has tended to fire judges with immigrant defense backgrounds in its recent rounds of dismissals.

Immigration judges with prior immigrant defense work make up the largest share of those fired by the Trump admin. NPR identified 70 fired immigration judges. The changes have at least shifted perception of fairness in these courts

OMG this makes me miss having a hound so so bad

The President starves and kills children. Hundreds of thousands of them. Millions of them.

This preliminary injunction hearing in Chicago is just like... normie white liberal after normie white liberal describing how federal agents beat them, shot at them with pepper balls, pointed guns at them, threw flashbangs and tear gas at them

VIDEO: Day care teacher detained by ICE agents on Chicago’s North Side A day care teacher was taken into ICE custody Wednesday morning at the Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood.

Just so we are clear: ICE went into a day care center—a private business—without a judicial warrant, and unlawfully kidnapped a worker in front of parents and children.

Say it with me: this is what domestic terrorism looks like

Fucking goons stooping to new lows
