Fine dining is top notch. Everything else makes my skin crawl to be honest. Least favorite city in the US.

I don’t need it, but if you’re going on Fox to argue it’s more effective to speak plainly.

Speak more plainly or you’ll be otherwise dismissed as extraneous.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Jeffries is finally rising up to the moment even a little bit. Made quick work of Lawler.

The most fundamental problem with MAGA is simple: They just don’t care about other people, and they really don’t care about someone being hurt as long as it isn’t them.

I just don’t know how you fix a problem with morality, compassion, and conscience.

Trump has taught them to have none.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

🧵The Trump regime knows that they are destroying the economy. They will never admit this in public, but they do in private.

Treasury secretary Scott Bessent was photographed reading a text from AgSec Brooke Rollins saying that Trump's tariffs made China shift soybean purchases to Argentina.

Morelle: Here’s the problem whenever the president speaks—and I hate to make light of this because he’s the president—but it’s almost always just fantasy.

This week he’s suddenly a scientist, telling us what we should do for a fever if you’re a pregnant woman.

It’s an endless series of baloney.

This piece is phenomenally well written and horrifying.

"In the case of extreme warming, the niche moves sharply toward Canada, leaving much of the lower half of the U.S. too hot or dry for the type of climate humans historically have lived in."

New Climate Maps Show a Transformed United States

According to new data analyzed by ProPublica and The New York Times Magazine, warming temperatures, rising seas and changing rainfall will profoundly reshape the way people have lived in North America...

Such a bad faith argument but the Fox News crowd will eat it up.
