It doesn't take a whole lot of resources to support a community. Especially when there is as much existing community action infrastructure as in Evanston, Skokie and Rogers Park.

That's... Nowhere close to the sentiment I'm expressing.

The mutual aid doesn't feel genuine. Move near a district, never engage with any of these networks until after you file papers to unseat a popular congresswoman, then claim your campaign is more community focused than the dozen other candidates who actually have track records of community service.

I confess all I have is anecdotal evidence, because there's not much data on the race. But my wife and I both work for nonprofits in the district. People don't trust her.

That mutual aid would be more compelling if it was in concert with the many excellent local NPOs already operating here!
December 26, 2025 at 10:42 PM
She's not. She's tied in one poll. Massively behind Biss in the other, and there have only been two since the summer. I live in this district and would be genuinely shocked if she wins.
December 26, 2025 at 10:33 PM
It's also not sustainable. What's going to happen to that mutual aid infrastructure when she loses, which he almost certainly will because she's not very well liked in the district

Anyone signed beyond 2027. I want to believe the plan isn't to rebuild after a lockout

On the red Sox, and as critically, off the stinkin' cardinals

That's not what I heard him say. What I heard is the message of Mamdani's win shouldn't be that every Democrat should adopt all of Mamdani's policies.

Can't we be happy with Mamdani's win, and also say:
A. The opposition was terrible
B. Zohran's message isn't going to resonate everywhere

Great...10th seed here we come. Thought this was the year they'd finally bottom out so they could build something worth watching.

What I got from the Erica Kirk flop was a reminder that Charlie Kirk was an extremely fringe character and there's not actually that much national interest in him or tpusa. The same is definitely going to be true for all of these other Town Halls

How many 'things' have felt like the moment that'd really break through over the last 10 years though? It's so hard to believe this will ever end, when it's felt like it should have hundreds of times already

I need to know what his base thought about it

Tbf, karoline leaving was like 10 years old when Sarah Palin was vp candidate
December 16, 2025 at 7:40 PM
Probably yes. But it's still good they're doing that, yeah? It gives me hope that we can get back to being a country with norms and the expectation that leaders act in accordance with some basic principles.

Pritzker 1A, Beshear 1B

Just want someone with some genuine principles. Not a smarmy political chameleon like Newsom.

You dipshots. He lost a Senate race because of his complete incapacity to relate to voters. Doesn't that call into question his "ability to reach an audience"?

Or is Oprah going to platform his Medicaid outreach for him?

They needed 47 minutes and 50 seconds to beat the Hornets. How much longer must we be stuck in basketball hell?

But most jobs under like 70k annually you only get like a 2% COLA, if that. Even if wages in aggregate are keeping pace with inflation, inflation is felt heavily by lower income households.
December 12, 2025 at 5:17 PM
Please, dipshits, throw away your fortunes on this absurd project.

How many more do they have to lose before the reinforces clean house? Does the number exist?
December 8, 2025 at 2:37 AM
Are any games consequential? Might as well just sit out, collect checks.
December 8, 2025 at 2:21 AM
Savant has him as throwing 49 cutters in 2025 and giving up 5 bombs. Might it be as simple as eliminating that pitch to cut his HRs by 20%?
December 7, 2025 at 8:09 PM
it's irrelevant. We don't execute people for breaking drug laws.
