Itโ€™s amusing to see the Democratic leadership wake up to the fact that if you stand up to a bully you surprise him. Theyโ€™re all like, โ€œWait. You mean we might have a bit of power & we donโ€™t have to reach across the aisle & play nice with authoritarianism?โ€

If Chicago wanted to make those Texas soldiers feel at home, they'd wait for a blizzard, then turn off all the power and go to Cancun for the weekend.

This morning, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing โ€œICE-free zones.โ€
โ€œThat means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,โ€ Johnson said to applause.

Legacy newspapers: "Print media is dying, and the public will suffer for it."

Also legacy newspapers: "We can't offend the government with information and framing that helps the public."

Miss Thailand, Anna Sueangam-iam, transformed humble soda tabs into a dazzling gown, honoring her garbage-collector parents. Her creativity turned discarded materials into beauty, a powerful tribute to resilience, love, and finding value in the overlooked.

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Fuck this.

This is nothing but red meat for Trumpโ€™s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. Thereโ€™s no disputing this.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.
