It's just incredible how Chicago the Pope is. He's probably replacing the sacramental wine with Malört.
What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?
It's the Pope in 1982.

This is a drowning man desperately trying to keep his head above water and grasping to anything he can find.
Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."

We started a veterans court in Pierce County and it’s been a tremendous success. The challenge is that local budgets are strained, and these dockets are expensive. If the State wants to see more diversion from the system, it should invest their savings in these programs.
The point isn’t to reinvent the wheel: if the Superior Court moves ahead with a veterans court, it will be looking to other communities and the national model for best practices. (Olivia Palmer / Yakima Herald-Republic)
Yakima takes a first step toward veterans therapeutic court
In October, the Yakima City Council approved a memorandum of understanding with the Yakima County Superior Court and the Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla.

It's very funny they kept the MS portion of the name. Microsoft very briefly partnered on the channel and bailed decades ago.
By this time next week, we will be The Rachel Maddow Show on MS NOW!
Everything else about us will be the same, and that includes watching.
However! If you DVR the show, you may want to double check the scheduler to make sure it didn't get confused.

I think people today don’t appreciate how thoroughly it corrupted our system.
"1929" author @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social says one of the "great surprises" of his research was that polling suggested the economy is not what doomed President Hoover's 1932 reelection bid.
"[Hoover] could have reversed himself on... Prohibition... and then I wonder whether he would have won."

It’s true that public health is responsible for the vast majority of social determinants of health outcomes. It’s also true that we have decimated that system. 🤷🏻♂️
Rep. John McGuire: "We need to rethink healthcare in America. It needs to be a preventative healthcare system, not a reactive, put-a-bandaid-on system that we have...you cannot exercise your way out of bad nutrition. Eat right, exercise right, lead a healthy lifestyle, & maybe have early screenings"

This is a real challenge in WA. It’s also stalling other types of manufacturing projects. One I’m aware of is a massive defense aerospace contract.
Data-center projects that “may sit empty for years because the local utility isn’t ready to supply electricity.”
