Had a beautiful week on a 5,000 mile road trip from Chicago to Los Angeles and back with my husband and our high school exchange student from Italy. There is a lot of lovely people and places in America.

Again it’s not good that the most prominent leaders of the party keep insisting it’s a trap to talk about “identity” when the Trump administration is pushing white supremacy.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
Pete Buttigieg critiques Democrats for focus on identity
The former U.S. transportation secretary said the Democratic Party should focus more on issues gripping the country, such as health care and housing affordability.

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

As of Halloween, annual homicides in Chicago are the lowest since 2014 and the second lowest since at least 2001.
No amount of murder is acceptable, but a 50% drop from the pandemic spike is pretty remarkable. And there's still a chance that we'll hit a 25-year low by the end of December.

Hard to understate how massive of a night this can be for leftist politics with a Mandani win. Would follow Brandon Johnson’s DSA-aligned campaign in Chicago.

Incredible that this has now reached the Vatican
BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.
“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”
