To build on this point: IL is a great example of using solid strategies to win and hold purple districts with strong candidates who offer solid constituent services. One of my issues with Hogg is that he misses this key lesson.

Please go read or re-read "Eichmann In Jerusalem."

I love this! The wacky ways we retail workers deal with the stress during downtime.

Unsealed documents indicating significant Russian interference in domestic U.S. affairs. The thematic propaganda themes are interesting. Modern technologies in use to spread content & analyze its reach, including psychological operations. www.justice.gov/archives/opa...

I have a feeling my state is going to be doing some heavy lifting over the next few years.

I need to remember this!

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

Humboldt Park is an interesting place!

The only reason to be on X at the moment is the Unrivaled basketball stuff. It's like All-Star weekend without the problematic fans of a certain player. I hope they all come here.

Honest opinion: Carter was the 1st POTUS to be screwed by "mainsteam media," and unfortunately, we are living in that world. Remember, Ted Koppel and Nightline shouldn't have become a "thing" that fed into the 24-hour news feed.

The Furbies are wishing you a Merry Christmas.

PR has to be one of the more soul-less jobs.

Cold weather isn't enough to activate "dibs" in Chicago.

This is better than the last proposal. I applaud raising the bag tax. I wish someone would go after the developers who convert two flats into mini mansions. That parking meter deal has turned out to be one of the worst things to happen to Chicago.

There might be a few folks that happen to follow me that are from Chicago on here, and I want to remind EACH of them to think about your "least able" neighbors when it's cold or snowy. Check in. Get their groceries (without judgements). Shovel or put down salt. It's not hard.

I'm facing an extremely long "Black Friday" working for a retailer who has leaned heavily into their own demise (if you're in the Chicago market, you know), and I'm dreading it. A reminder to be kind to the lowly retail worker today. A reminder to be kind to myself today.

I'm wearing this beanie today, so AD is very much on my mind.

Yes!!! And for XMAS films, I'll add Shop Around the Corner/You've Got Mail AND Carol to my own picks.
