BTW, it's popular sport on Facebook for Red Staters to explain to Chicagoans how dangerous & post apocalyptic Chicago is. One popular claim is that the Mag Mile is dead. Every other storefront empty. Well, Mag Mile was packed last night, felt totally safe, & I did not see a single empty storefront.

World's largest Starbucks. Four floors spread over expansive retail space. It's been on N. Michigan Ave. for years, but I've never entered. Not because of ethical objections; I just don't want to deal with the commotion. I could see through the windows that it was packed last night.

Democrats built Direct File to cut out middlemen like TurboTax that charge ridiculous fees.

Rep. Aaron Bean (R-FL) #FL-04, you can’t hide from “DOGE” you were a co-founder of the DOGE caucus, you even did a press conference praising weirdo Musk & his cronies. You’re gonna be voted out in #Florida even though you’re in a red district.
Plus you’re destroying ACA for families. 🔥🔥

The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵

OMG, 2.5 miles into 5-mile walk, stopping for a hot coffee. An icy wind is blowing in from the west. If you've never walked backwards, you've never lived in Chicago. Nonetheless, I saw several people in shorts.
