Call me crazy, but I still find it wild that an American president can essentially declare war on an American city and it doesn’t result in immediate and bipartisan demands for them to be removed from office.

Joe Buck calling baseball again just feels right.

I didn’t say you did. I asked a question. There are far less racists and Nazis here, so it’s been a major improvement for me.

People in general aren’t the greatest. You think things on X are better?

Ben Johnson wasn’t going to let Poles fuck up his offense with his pet projects and reclamation attempts on the line. Big money, proven guys across the interior of the offensive line. At the very least, they’ve secured a competent group.

It’s still viewed as some kind of political statement to migrate here, when the other site is completely broken. Hopefully that changes soon.

Remember when Elon’s X crashed at the start of 2025 NFL free agency, Bluesky took over, we never went back, and we were all happier and smarter for it?

Donald Trump is using this joint session of Congress to lay the groundwork to take Social Security away from the American people who’ve earned it.

Never forget that Chicagoans shut down a planned Trump 2016 rally in the city. There’s a reason we’re the first city challenged by this ridiculous lawsuit.

If you trade 25-year-old Luka Doncic, you don’t deserve an NBA franchise. Fold the Mavs.

JB Pritzker is one of the best messengers in the Democratic Party and folks in the party need to follow his lead.

When the next foreign policy disaster happens, remember the Trump State Department was hard at work on the most pressing issues of our time, like removing optional pronouns from email signatures.

I saw the leak of the memo and thought it was a hoax. Cartoonishly racist.

We’ve got to stop putting people hellbent on destroying government in charge of government. Incompetent and incapable of governing.

Who can forget when we learned in school that the Constitution gives the power of the purse to *checks notes* Russell T. Vought?

Trump administration orders sweeping freeze of federal aid In a two-page memo, the Office of Management and Budget ordered all federal agencies to temporarily suspend payments.

Trump 2.0: Making us all worse off so he can punish the groups he doesn't like.

–Freeze on federal financial assistance like Medicaid, SNAP, and FAFSA.

–Diverting resources from drug trafficking and terrorism prosecutions to go after non-violent undocumented immigrants. tinyurl.com/yhz26s7n

There's no policy objective imaginable that justifies terrorizing children - and especially not in the safe haven that are schools are supposed to be.

Fucking shameful act and shame on anyone supporting it. On the other hand, proud of CPS. We don't play that in Chicago.
