The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Today is National Noodle Day, which is very lucky because it gives me the chance to mention that a French way of saying you are very lucky is avoir le cul bordé de nouilles. It means “to have an ass lined with noodles.”

Time is short for an ACA premium fix in the shutdown fight, says GOP insurance leader

While lawmakers debate the calendar, a top GOP insurance regulator is pulling the fire alarm on ACA subsidies. If Congress doesn't act before the Nov. 1 enrollment deadline, 24 million Americans will face sticker shock so severe it will crash the entire marketplace.

Illustration of a knight or paladin or swordfighter in chainmail and cloak, drawing her sword, stepping over a water surface towards the viewer. Behind her, a flock of swans rises up into the sky.

A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread.

King Arthur sits on the ground next to a mossy rock, proudly thrusting the sword Excalibur up into the air, suggesting that he's just drawn it out from the stone. It has a magical blue glow. In the background, some people cheer his success, while a few others seem miffed about it.

Graphic that shows Republicans absent when needing to vote on the Epstein files or prevent a shutdown, but celebrating when cutting taxes for billionaires.

Hmmm... weird.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

Congrats to her!!🎉

While scooping coffee beans, one fell, and I worried it would land on our coffee-bean coloured floor (frustrating). But it fell straight into the coffee grinder instead (convenient)!
Anyway we have to look for good omens wherever they present themselves, is all I’m saying.

"Musk’s data centers will probably bring in only a few hundred jobs to Memphis while consuming millions of gallons of water a day and more electricity than is needed to power all the city’s homes. Natural-gas turbines powering the data centers have brought pollution and controversy over their use.."
