In 1990, famed gossip columnist Liz Smith had been asking Donald Trump for two years to comment on the "other woman" in his life, only to be stonewalled each time about the identity of Marla Maples. (1/10)

On this day that FIFA honored a petty toddler as a scion of Peace, a soccer tournament my son was supposed to play in was canceled because too many families pulled out due to fears of ICE raids.

It’s not even the tenth worst thing about it, but I utterly abhor that DHS is referencing a story of compassion and extraordinary friendship to a complete stranger when they name their latest ICE abduction campaign “Operation Charlotte Web.”

The first cold snap and snowfall of the season and Greg Bovino decides to end Midway Blitz.
Chicago sells like a zillion hot dogs a day and we've still never seen a bigger bunch of weenies than ICE and CBP.

I guarantee you that nearly everyone who kept angrily declaring that "Old Town Road" and "Cowboy Carter" couldn't be considered real country music have no problem at all with this.

Noem rejects Pritzker request to pause ICE operations for Halloween
Pritzker's Halloween request, first obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, came four days after ICE agents fired tear gas in the Old Irving Park neighborhood as families and children walked to a Halloween...

So if the policy is supposedly that we’re catching all the child rapists and sending them to countries they were never from, at what point do we start deporting these evangelical leaders, like former Trump advisor Robert Morris, to the Darien Gap?

A reporter will ask a conservative politician why they were caught holding a bloody knife near a murder scene and they will say “nah-ah, that’s a gotcha question.”
And then they turn around and yell ZOHRAN MAMDANI’S AUNT IS NOT HIS PARENT’S SISTER!

Have felt oddly compelled of late to watch clips from HELL’S KITCHEN, a show I never watched once while it aired, and I think it’s because I’m finding it cathartic to watch Gordon Ramsay scream obscenities at people and hold them accountable when they’re so clearly fucking things up.

Being a guy who is interested in both modern cinema and presidential history means that I have an odd, unexplainable feeling about the concurrent careers of two actresses named Mikey Madison and Maika Monroe.

We need to convince Trump that he doesn’t want to be king or dictator, but pharaoh.
Then, when he dies, all of his servants should be entombed with him.

Every time Karoline Leavitt goes to a restaurant, she should be brought something she didn’t order.
When she complains, she should be told “oh, we assumed you were lying,” before turning briskly and walking away.

What has become evident is that if an American city ever actually were attacked by hordes of violent gangsters, ICE are not by any means prepared — tactically, mentally, or physically — to handle them.
If your city is invaded by schoolchildren, journalists, and clergy, though? LOOK OUT.

The Chicago River just got clean enough for swimmers to use it and now they’re polluting it with the filth.
A government communication reviewed by the Sun-Times showed that a request was made to have several Border Patrol and ICE boats and vehicles use the Chicago Harbor Lock as part of Operation Midway Blitz.

Saying you feel “vulnerable” on a stopped escalator in one of the most heavily guarded buildings in New York only makes it seem even less likely that you felt in danger the day you were almost assassinated.

It’s possible to manifest hate in your heart and still be a good person.
It’s not possible to *hold* hate in your heart and remain a good person.
And regardless, the hate itself will never make you a good person.
