Yesterday was the snowiest November day in #Chicago history. 8.4” fell at O’Hare Airport (Chicago's official measurement site) breaking the previous record of 8” set in 1951. Here are a few more photos.

It’s ridiculous Chicago doesn’t #PlowTheSidewalks. It’s an accessibility issue, as well as a big middle finger to pedestrians.
Maybe take some of the $147M police budget increase to plow the damn sidewalks

At some point you just run out of things to say, right? There’s no argument to make. There’s nothing to discuss. The executive branch is saying “We make our own law and obey no one” and either you say “Okay, I guess you do” or you put down the whole administration and salt the earth where it stood
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

Commander White is one of the very few people involved in family separation from the inside who acquitted himself well. He raised alarm bells, pushed back, and got ORR to start tracking separations long before DHS did, so that it was possible later to reunite kids and know the scale.
He reunited families separated under Trump. Now he’s running for Congress. wapo.st/3KdDBQ1

This story is infuriating. The bloodthirst so many in this country have is horrifying. And to know Chris Duncan was finally exonerated was deeply moving and brought tear to my eyes.
After 30 years in prison and 25 years on Louisiana's death row, Chris Duncan walked out of Angola today a free man.
"I'm cruising down a highway," he texted me. "Most glaring emotion is shock."
