NOTE: Brendan Reilly is running for Cook County Board President, meaning that he wants a lot of authority over the budget for the sheriff and the jail and the state's attorney and the public defender

But he won't even sign a statement in support of due process when his own colleague was attacked.

Mark Teixeira Is Ready To Do Whatever It Is Congress Guys Have To Do | Defector As Texas congressional districts go, the 21st is pretty easy to parse. The outline of it, which dips into Austin and enfolds a vast swath of the San Antonio suburbs, looks like a lumpier-than-average ...

Congratulations to Mark Teixeira on his big primary win in Texas. I am sure he will be a totally shameful and absolutely forgettable member of congress. It's basically what he's running on. defector.com/mark-teixeir...

It's been an awful winter, but soon it'll be April! and I'll go to a baseball game and it'll be 50 and gray and damp and the wind will cut through me and I'll be shivering and miserable by the third inning and my hot chocolate will already be cold and I'll think to myself, "this sucks so much ass."

Cannot emphasize enough: if you don't want the crypto/techpawn Senator, you should vote for LG Stratton

There are several other reasons for a progressive to favor her over Kelly. And a point or two Kelly has in her favor.

But at this pt it's most important to guard against a downgrade from Durbin

Harrison Ford accepting his SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award:

β€œIt’s a little weird to be getting a life achievement award at the half point of my career. It’s a little early isn’t it?”

I can't emphasize enough that the idea of a Paramount-WB merger producing 30-40 movies a year is an absurd fiction. First WB will become the "classy" label within Par (which is only about Rescue Rangers, Scream and existing IP). Then it will become the specialty or streaming label. Then it will die.
