Remember those national guard troops sent to Chicago by Texas Gov Greg Abbott? They went home after sitting at a suburban training facility doing nothing for a month. Abbott's little stunt cost taxpayers at least $12M. What an abuse of power.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Durbin is trash. Yes, lots of great stuff in the past. Sure he’s a decent guy. But he’s pure trash now. Important to see that the bulk of Team Cave is made up of people who are retiring.
Durbin is a YES on this deal: “At Democrats’ urging, today’s bill is not the same one we’ve voted down 14 times. Republicans finally woke up and realized their Groundhog Day needed to end. This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their shutdown’s hurt.”

Proud to be a part an organization (TimeLine Theatre) that is quoted here and putting in the hard work. If you want to know the answer to the question posed here, look no further than the programming and who is on the stages to start. Sadly, we have regressed. A lot more work to do.
Five years ago, the murder of George Floyd sparked a rallying cry for change, with arts groups vowing to diversify their staffs and boards. A recent WBEZ/Chicago Sun-Times survey takes measure of progress.
Have Chicago’s top arts organizations fulfilled their diversity pledges? Many won’t say.

They Tried to Smear Zohran Mamdani as an Antisemite. Voters Saw Right Through It.
Mamdani’s mayoral victory in New York City means so much — including the repudiation of Islamophobic attacks and weaponization of antisemitism.

Last night's biggest loser may be Greg Abbott. Seeing Latino voters in NJ swinging left by huge margins — plus a Democrat taking the lead for a Texas state senate seat in Fort Worth that Trump won by +18 — you have to imagine Abbott is waking up to the nightmare that his new map may be a dummymander
