these times are surreal.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

It’s clear @aftynbehn.bsky.social is the candidate not in the pockets of special interests

Meanwhile Van Epps had billionaires dump millions into his Republican primary 💰 #TN7

That Pentagon *press corps* performance with Matt Gaetz and Laura Loomer among those asking questions feels like a pretty good indicator of how far over the cliff we are. Worth checking out. 🇺🇸

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

MAGA seemed surprised by this. I wasn't. Were you?

President Piggy

“universities' research makes life better, massively so. Why would you want to cripple it?…It's something that the United States does really, really well."

🗣️ Harvard professor Steven Pinker

The Trump administration had frozen more than $2 billion in grants to Harvard.

Another shameless lie.

Trump’s own lawyers at USDA posted (then deleted) the guidance below that SNAP continues during a shutdown.

Can someone ask him to explain why he disagrees with Trump’s own lawyers?

This is going to be great!🍿

Have fun paying millions in a frivolous & comical lawsuit, Texas taxpayers! I’m sure high powered corporate lawyers are no match for ol’ stink eye, Ken Paxton, right? 😂 And this lawsuit is airtight, no quackery involved, right?

#Tylenol will own the state of TX soon. 😎

overstate.

It’s day 20 of the government shutdown and construction crews at the White House's East Wing tear down walls to make room for trump's f*cking massive ballroom.

A quarter of a BILLION…when Americans are struggling to get by. Absolutely shameful.

Kristi Noem

The DHS bought two luxury Gulfstream private jets for Kristi Noem and other top officials at a cost of $172 million, per the New York Times.

just spent 2 weeks in Ireland and found the Irish to be lovely, friendly and kind. in fact, encountered NO rude people!

ICE Barbie Ripped For Splurging $172 Million on Luxury DHS Jets The Department of Homeland Security has reportedly shelled on two high-end Gulfstream jets for Kristi Noem and other top members of the department.

Kristi Noem has been holding up FEMA funding for Americans in need all year.

But now she wants to spend $172M in taxpayer money on luxury jets for her own use.

Sheer corruption.

how about firing the owners?

You were president on Jan 6th, Puddin’ Brain.

I saw this, laughed, changed screens and now I can't find it again or I would credit it fully: Someone described Kid Rock, who was apparently attempting to opine on something tonight, as being "the human equivalent of an above-ground pool."

Perfect.

How much does Fox News pay if you go on one of their shows and claim to be a "Former ANTIFA Member"?

Because I'm ready to spill tea on the Real-Housewives-level shenanigans that go down in the 72-story ANTIFA corporate headquarters. Especially by the lab assistants on the Molotov Cocktail floor.

I’ll just come right out and say it. It’s only a matter of time when Trump will make up with some reason that Hamas broke the cease-fire, and he will then aid Israel to take over Gaza. That has always been their goal.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Hey Speaker Johnson, swear in Adelita Grijalva. Or are you too scared that Trump and your other GOP buddies are in the Epstein files?

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

#WarRavagedPortland

I never thought I’d live to see the day when some Americans would recoil at the sight of Soldiers guarding them. All seemed to be well when the National Guard was in bareknuckle brawls during GWOT though. Do you know how weird it was for us on active duty seeing them there? With us? Fighting? I always wondered how we got to that point. Where the Guard of a state was fighting off ambushes in some foreign land. Now they get to guard their own neighbors. Their own countrymen. But those same Americans would shed a tear seeing those Guardsmen come home in caskets from a war nobody cared about. Further proof that for some Americans and the media, they only love Soldiers when they’re dead.

area dort unaware of the fact that the founders didn't *want* soldiers in the streets

News of the deal sent texts whizzing at the CBS News Broadcast Center in Manhattan, even though it had been reported on for months. Mr. Cibrowski, the news division president, addressed Ms. Weiss’s new role on the organization’s editorial call at 9 a.m. on Monday. Reading from prepared notes, Mr. Cibrowski said that Ms. Weiss would visit the newsroom later in the day to meet with senior editorial staff and added that she would be on the network’s morning call going forward. Mr. Cibrowski said that he had met several times with Ms. Weiss and that he was “more and more excited” about working with her, noting that Ms. Weiss would be in charge of editorial matters from now on.

It's now clear that Tom Cibrowski -- CBS News' president and a broadcast-news veteran who has covered wars, earthquakes and plane crashes-- will now have his judgment frequently overridden or second-guessed by Bari Weiss, who has never done any of those things.
