Well with tv revenue down and attendance in the dumps, they’ve locked onto the most predictable income stream they can find: taxpayers! 💰

Great roundup of the hot mess at IFB/Country.

Hard to get a word in if I’m to not kick someone while they’re down.

I too have noticed in the past year that milk is expiring days before the date on the jug, but that is by far the most egregious.

Can’t wait to hear about the ads targeting clydesdales.

I probably use this line too many times, but in my days as a cub reporter, I covered Rod Blagojevich. It's certainly a formative experience for how to deal with powerful people who lie. all. the. time.

Short answer: Say they're lying and prove it. Or don't cover the lie.

Midway Atoll in November 1941.

#OTD in 1941, not long after the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Marine base on Sand Island (Midway) came under bombardment from two IJN destroyers. In the attack, 4 Marines were killed and two were wounded. Marine shore batteries drove off the attackers.

Illinois State gets a TD on 4th down and the 2 pt conversion to take a 1 point lead over North Dakota in the final minute

I’m old enough to remember all the performative hand wringing about millennial kids-these-days and their “participation trophies.” 👀

A few hiccups but NBC significantly improved the audio mixing for the parade’s audio description.

On March 7, 1923 the leader of Germany's fascist party told the Tribune in an interview "I wish that I could send some of my shock troops to Chicago"

Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."

I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky - Lawyers, Guns & Money This proposal would be even worse than the no deal on extending ACA subsidies bill being floated earlier: Democrats and Republicans have been locked for more than a month in a standoff over healthcare coverage, with Democrats repeatedly blocking a GOP bill to reopen the government. Without an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act credits, […]

The Slow Death of Special Education The government has abandoned its commitment to an equitable education for all children—if it ever had one.

Turner’s plan to address inflating energy bills is to further inflate energy bills.

Two announcers, Jason Garrett and Dan Hicks, stand in front of a sign that reads "Big Turd" thanks to how they are blocking it

TRANSCRIPT 77TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OCTOBER 1971 SESSION OCTOBER 14, 1971 SENATOR EGAN: Mr. President and welcome members of the Senate. I am sure you are all familiar with senate bill 64. It has been called the barber bill. When I think of the discussion and misinformation that has been generated by this piece of legislation, I think of my old college English Professor who used to say many times that "The trouble in the world is not what people don't know, it's what they do know that just ain't so."

October 14, 1971: As Sen. Robert Egan presented a bill, he noted it had been subject to a deal of misinformation, recalling an old professor's remark that, "The trouble in the world is not what people don't know, it's what they do know that just ain't so."

A Guy Walks Into A Reactor Shop With 34 Tons of Plutonium... - Lawyers, Guns & Money This article is about 34 tons of plutonium that the US government doesn’t know what to do with.
