The vibes in Chicago right now are sort of like during the pandemic except if covid showed up in a random neighborhood every day and had to be driven off by everyone yelling at it

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.
NEWS:

Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan."

We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs.

One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals.

You won’t find these on the shelf. Newspapers print an AI-generated reading list with fake books.
Ah, summer. The perfect time to get lost in a romantasy — or finally pick up Proust or Middlemarch. The Chicago Sun-Times, the city's second-biggest newspaper, recommended some summer books to its re...

Too many elected leaders in the Democratic Party are either unwilling or unable to meet the moment and are asleep at the wheel while Trump is demolishing the economy, challenging the foundations of our democracy, and creating new existential crises for our country by the day.

It’s hard to calculate the damage done by MSNBC over the yrs.

They turned “resistance” into a partisan, passive, Corp pursuit, blacked out climate, covered up Biden’s cognitive decline, cowered in the face of a 24/7 streamed genocide & gave Dems a free pass they used to betray working ppl.
