Primaries for senators

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.

Breaking: SCOTUS lets Trump administration implement anti-trans, anti-nonbinary passport policy The Democratic appointees, led by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented. The ruling, which applies during litigation, effectively reverses two lower court rulings.

Javier Milei with chainsaw

I'm not sure we can trust this guy with our money

The wedding I last went to was an all-white theme the night before the black tie ceremony. Plenty of time spent finding that look too! A suit would have been easier.

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Dodged that. Very sad.

My brother is an attorney who works with the immigrant population in Iowa. It's 100% happening but there simply isn't time in the day to read about every raid in every small city and rural county across the US

"Deranged president increasingly threatening American citizens with deportation and denaturalization" sounds like a front page story to me

From a filing today, the State Department intends to revoke and replace transgender people's passports that are changed under a current court order if a higher court reverses the order.

This would be a major problem for trans people traveling.

Google has gotten way better… haven’t seen anything too embarrassing in a while.

I’ve never given DoorDash instructions because I’m too cheap for delivery fees. Pick-up in walkable Rogers Park!

He’d be so lucky! So many potatoes (and you)!

I stayed there at the beginning of April for work! Actually totally doable lol.

Flight path from Texas to Djibouti via Ireland.

Ireland is providing support for the US government to deport people to third countries via Shannon airport.

If Gen Z really wants to dunk on millennials, they should learn about Foursquare and go around saying stuff like, "I hear you're the mayor of this Panera Bread."

I’m glad people don’t support deporting moms, but frustrated to see these numbers on LGBT policy.

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

I know who I think is correct among these two

DOJ Says Susman Godfrey Is National Security Threat... For Giving Money To GLAD - Above the Law Stupid, but also disturbing.

Absolutely insane filing. The Trump government is arguing that a law firm is a national security threat because it was part of the lawsuit against the transgender military ban.

We are just STEPS away from Russia-style designating LGBTQ+ orgs "extremist and terrorist organizations"

Oh great. I need the plane this summer

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? (estas votaciones)

Es como lo he entendido yo también.

Conclave Selects First Chicago-Style Pope

Conclave Selects First Chicago-Style Pope

Very Chicago: The new pope ate at an Aurelio's last summer while visiting his old stomping grounds, an old friend of Robert Prevost tells me.

One of the greatest travesties of this administration so far. Absolutely appalling.
