A new Super PAC, "Chicago Progressive Partnership," just jumped into #IL09, opposing Kat Abughazaleh. Filings show they’re using the same vendors as AIPAC.

Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.

He must’ve been disappointed that the Japanese guy and the Jewish guy got tagged out before him since he’s #AmericaFirst.

He thinks TPUSA stands for Triple Play USA.

Really stuck his neck out on this one

The stadium site is a flood plain, and they won’t actually be able to build a stadium on it. But the whole thing is going great.

Skip Dillard weeps…

I never knew the Indiana lake where the proposed Bears’ stadium is supposed to be is called Wolf Lake. I always called it Cancer Lake all the years we drove back and forth between Chicago and Michigan because of the smell, the smokestacks and all of the power lines.

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:

My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.

Huh? When did I say that?!

It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Great to see folks increasingly use "Epstein Class" as moniker. More potent and accurate still would be "Epstein Regime" as it's not merely a cohort but rather tied to the folks in political power and determined to rule over us.

Watching how swiftly other countries have moved on people implicated in the Epstein files as our POTUS & most of his cabinet just shrug & persist really underscores how far we’ve fallen as a country…not the good guys anymore. At least not until our government is disinfected of this Trumpian filth.

Next on "The Real Housewives of MLBPA"...

More drone stuff, in case you didn't think this was a thing.

YOU MAKE ME LAUGH YOU MAKE ME THING JON

He's Tony "Mossy" Clark now.

Yes. Our current form of living, highly concentrated urban with constant global mobility, only can happen because of vaccines, antibiotics, running water, and public health efforts like meat inspection. Without all of these, we die and it ends.

A THINK

A think I occasionally think about is that It was just over 100 years ago when President Coolidge’s son caught an infection from dye in his socks while playing tennis and died a short time later.

The President’s son.

In the 1920’s.

His kids can start calling him the Aunteater, right, @pointlessexercise.com ?

Gives the game away to redefine "American culture" as "English-Scotts-Irish." There was never any point where that was the American culture; it exists solely as a mythical past invented by white nationalists to justify their actions.

Heck, if you asked the Founders, they'd say, "you mean British?"

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

Irish elevated to founding stock, it's like he's allergic to reading a history book

Do the English, Scotts, and Irish believe they are all the same culture? And what of the large early Dutch, German, French, and Spanish groups of settlers? Musk has French Canadian family. He lives in Texas, a Spanish name. I know he's evil but I really do think he's also a moron

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

Fair point

I mean, this was the cover of an SI during the second Reagan Administration.
