I like Chicago, my cat, other people’s dogs, bourbon, Star Trek and my family. The order of above shifts.
It’s crazy how relieved I am to have the late night shows back - Meyers, Colbert and Kimmel. They are so helpful in clarifying all the madness. I can see why Trump hates them.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.
And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

To be honest, I haven’t trusted Stephen Colbert ever since he conveniently abandoned all his right wing views as soon as he got hired to host a network talk show

My professional life is pretty much reduced to silently saying “fewer” at least once during every conference call.

I am not a Chicago lifer, but I have lived here since I was 18 and will admit that I have long made “Chicagoan” the dominant part of my personality and, seriously, if you want to put ketchup on your hot dog, go with god. Do you. It’s a deeply weird thing to care about.
some of you really need to take your food opinions less seriously and stop giving evil little gremlins like me the power to instantly upset you by saying i eat ketchup on my hot dogs or whatever

Many years ago, I traveled out to the west suburbs to knock on doors for Lauren and I feel like Underwood v Noem is my reward. Go and get ‘em, Lauren !
Secretary Noem, you can’t claim you want to cut “waste, fraud, and abuse” yesterday and then take a taxpayer-funded trip for a political stunt today. We have some questions.

Called @schakowsky.house.gov today to ask why she hasn’t filed articles of impeachment. I mean, I know they won’t pass, but the point is to signal that she’s in the fight. Because so far? Not getting it.

Is it performative? Hell yes. But when your opposition is utterly lawless, the best thing a lawmaker with a big podium can do is make some big goddamn noise about the lawlessness. Hell yes, @booker.senate.gov ! Stay loud.

Did I open BlueSky to be read … good news? Is that something we’re still doing? Good work from the Dems here. Better work from the folks who picked up the phone
The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.
CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.
MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

God this is a great line. She was amazing
Ann Richards, the last greatest Governor of TX. A Democrat, she was known for her outspoken feminism and her one-liners.

I think we have to agree that JD is such a sniveling little bitch.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.

While a lot of people are criticizing Zelensky for letting Trump ambush him, European leaders have been effusive in their praise and support for him.
He came here and refused to be humiliated and shored up Europe's spine for what is coming... the break with the United States.

Indeed, the person most responsible for Donald Trump allying with Vladimir Putin and betraying Volodymyr Zelenskyy is... Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

This may be the dumbest fucken thing I’ve ever said, but every time I see this “Gulf of America” somewhere I think of Picard’s “THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS”
Delta still calling the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico on its inflight maps, as it should.

It’s just time for all corporate media to die on the vine. They’re all rotten through and through and I am so sad for all the great reporters who have to watch their institutions turn into this.
The essential grift with Bari Weiss style takes that falsely equate "free speech" or liberty with speech they personally like is pretending no one else is doing it. That's even more true of pro-corporate center right content. It's already a dominant perspective even at WaPo. Now it's even moreso
