Expect some snark along with some history. Analysis is just my opinion, and I might be wrong… Also, I’m human without an edit button. There will be typos.

Vichy Democrats have failed democracy in the US. You’re right, there’s no going back to the old norms. Hopefully, over the next few cycles, we get electeds that understand they are not in office to bargain, but to institutionally and structurally build a real, sustainable democratic society.
It’s insulting to the former First Lady.

Wondering if current Medal holders might come out and say, “Yeah, y’all can have this back. Not worth the fake gold plating in the Oval.”
Total cop out. Trust in governmental institutions operating equally and rationally to the best extent possible under the rule of law and norms is the foundation of a democratic society. Anything else is chaos.

Sir, sound advice. Senate in ‘28 might be a good fit.
Thank you for putting this out here, unapologetically.
Remember when people used the term "false equivalency"?
Last I checked, Michelle Obama was not a cabinet secretary responsible for managing the health care policies of the nation who amplifies pseudoscience.

Angela Davis is here and the crowd went WILD
Crazy idea: what if we make electricity cost more for non-residential use.
Newsom is proof that if Trump was more clean cut and well spoken liberals wouldn’t have a problem with Trump

Stevens gets that we are at war for the soul of the nation and that you give no air to the enemy.

The Weather Channel is running a pretty good set of shows on Hurricane Katrina.
True, Oppo research, especially on money, is part of the political toolkit and sometimes is best used behind closed doors. The press doesn’t always have the latitude to go into the dark corners for info that can have an impact.
JB is no fool and is not afraid of wielding power though action, not memes. Not sure if he has a Louis Howe, but his actions indicate he feels his back is covered when stepping forward.
How does Wendell Pierce get to do Marvel and DC movies in the SAME year? Not that I’m mad.

If you don’t salt the battlefield, they will come back.
Better than a CVS. I loved the restaurant in the basement, though, back in the teens.
Glad to have the chance to stop by Little Village — and especially Panaderia Coral and Los Candiles.
No forgiveness needed for being cynical about LE motivation. LE attracts people that want to wield power and force with no boundaries.
Likely it’s not you just bake cakes, but you bake cakes with love. Food made with love is the best food.
They won’t stop…ever.

In the sense that a puppy learns to poop outside is pretty good. He nor a majority of the senate caucus, will never let go of the donors.

“Being better” means being better for all. Many people find that unacceptable, even to their own loss. Unleashed hate has killed what the US could have been.
In the 20 years since Hurricane Katrina, combatting climate change, environmental racism, and structural inequality has become a calling for these young people. www.teenvogue.com/story/hurric...

How typical is it for a president to call up National Guard troops for an urban crime-fighting mission? “Extremely unusual,” said former Illinois National Guard adjutant general David Harris, current state Department of Revenue director. www.dailyherald.com/20250829/nat...
Congresswoman Ramirez is way in front of duh mayor.

This will flip seats for sure. “Damn you for taking my blocks away!”
Tillis and Ernst see the writing on the wall. Tillis only has his seat because Cunningham crashed and burned. He knew Cooper was going to run. The Drey win in IA Tuesday let Ernst see IA is in play and the state Dems are going all in, with Martin’s help. Doesn’t take many votes to flip seats.
Seriously, IA may be in play again. It doesn’t take that many votes to flip a seat.
Racist wealthy man practices racism is not news. It’s a data point.
Damn, dude. Who’s the next victim of your sorcery?

Napolitano is a FOP shill. His ward is a MAGA island.
He’s black.
And so it begins.....
The down low cult.
Mind you, Mike Johnson snuck into Chicago earlier this summer to hang out with ICE, but didn’t try to meet with Mayor Johnson or Governor Pritzker. What a chickenshit.

Cuban likes to lecture, rather than engage. He comes off as “I’m rich, therefore I’m right.” He invites negative feedback.
Johnson, Snelling and O’Neil Burke won’t meet the moment while city residents are terrorized, assaulted and detained without due process.
Johnson is the latest in a long line of failures sitting in the 5th floor of City Hall. Excellence is an impediment to winning the job.
In an earlier episode Batel did crack on Pike about having to find room for his hair products.
Plus, Doug.
now begins our nightly ceremony, an innumerable mass of humanity chanting “BEAN BEAN BEAN BEAN” in communion with our leguminous god
Vichy Democrat.
Fun fact. Pavarotti was supposed to perform, but couldn’t, so Ms Franklin stepped in with little notice.
Adding just six hours of media literacy training to an American Government course significantly improved students’ ability to identify credible sources and boosted their confidence in evaluating where information comes from. theconversation.com/college-stud...

The Chicago Teachers Union is calling on city alderpeople to put in writing their commitment to hand over $500 million in TIF surplus to CPS to help fill the district’s massive budget gap and restore previously announced cuts to workers. to.wttw.com/3HLaRNk
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
And so many people are ready to make him the chosen one to run for president…
Until Snelling openly challenges the FOP, he’s part of the problem. If it weren’t for the Afro-American Patrolmen’s League, he’d wouldn’t have that job.

One tires of these fools. If Napolitano was such a tough guy, he’d switch to the Republican Party.
Or North Lawndale.
The times they are a changing… “a prosecutor could persuade a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich," — former New York Chief Judge Sol Wachtler
Maybe they don’t want to look at HIM.
And the movie as well.
Note that his mom directed this video 😎
This was shared in the Second City Cop group today and the responses are predictably awful. Includes what appears to be a CFD Lieutenant (Leverenz) saying "get over it you baby." One of the other cops commenting here (Turney) is married to *another* cop who was at January 6th, so. That tracks.
The CA Supreme Court is reading the room.

He just spews word salads about what so many people think, but are scared to say so in public. Racism is not a behavior, it’s a culture.
It’s time for the states to start pushing back hard on illegal federal police activity.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Despite an ambitious plan by the city to eliminate all traffic deaths by next year, nearly as many people are dying on Chicago roads as when the goal was announced in 2017. The number of yearly injuries and crashes has actually increased since then. chicago.suntimes.com/transportati...
Thank you New York City for making the #ZcavengerHunt a reality 🙏
Sir, you’ll also find another shiv in one of the clues.
#zcavengerhunt makes that bench press crack come off even more adolescent.
This is the reality in rural America. The police silence us when we speak up. The police are part of the problem with our current fascist rule. ACAB
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
54 years ago today, the corporate takeover of American politics began with Lewis Powell's infamous memo. I watched it happen with my own eyes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbbgfnpJN9w
When Charlie Pierce speaks, everyone should pay attention. Regarding Dobson: Some tasty food for worms was delivered on Thursday. One of the most truly horrible humans ever inflicted on this country has ceased to be, and all say, “Amen” and “about goddamn time.” www.esquire.com/news-politic...
“The police didn’t tell the labor department that the car taking Rivera to a hospital had caught fire, that Baker was driving the car and that officers had to remove her from the burning car and get her into another before continuing to the emergency room.” Police instinct, always, is to cover-up.
