Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They must understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have."

Scoop: I'm told that The Washington Post shelled out more than $1 million for its fancy post-WHCD Sunday brunch at the exclusive Ned's Club—all while the Will Lewis-led newspaper tightens the belt internally. Details in @status.news: link.status.news/431TuQ1

“86% oppose the United States trying to take control of Canada. Eighty percent oppose Trump serving a third term, 76% oppose trying to take control of Greenland and 66% oppose sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons.” abcnews.go.com/Politics/ame...

Law firms who failed the Lando test are at the finding out stage

I’m all for deporting criminals who aren’t here legally. That isn’t the issue. The issue is the lack of due process which affects us all. The issue is a child with cancer was taken from their family, their home, and their healthcare. The issue is the glee with which they are doing this.

Every Senate Democrat voted to confirm Marco Rubio. Every single one. They should never live that down. Yes, that includes Warren and Sanders and Booker. www.huffpost.com/entry/marco-...

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

Wow. Naval Academy prof to their 3-star Admiral in his letter of resignation: "your legacy will be that of a careerist who banned Maya Angelou but retained Mein Kampf"

Steve McMichael, the Hall of Fame defensive tackle who was one of the most colorful characters of the 1985 Chicago Bears, has died at 67 after a lengthy battle with ALS. Obit by @danwiederer.bsky.social and @colleenkane.bsky.social.

A day before the NFL draft, here’s my interpretation of some of the increasing chatter. The Bears don’t feel they have as many holes as a typical 12-loss team. Their urge to add *elite* talent is real. Thus shopping for potential ways to do so could offer an avenue(s) to aggressively move up.

Wikipedia, always a trustworthy source.

Most conservative backlash can be understood through the rejection of anything they didn't understand by the time they were five.

a beet red RFK, eyes bloodshot, sweating, a wild, feral expression on his face as he stands at the podium. He shrieks into a microphone, his words gutteral and strained as if his 3 sizes too small suit jacket is strangling the life out of him: "13 YEAR OLD BOYS ARENT EJACULATING ENOUGH THESE DAYS!"

"Fuck you, make me."

There’s no way Pete Hegseth is not drinking.

Meet the new Director of Communications for the US Navy, Kristina Wong, who on Jan 6 sat and watched the violence at the Capitol North Doors. She thought it was funny: "a lil sporty". This woman now speaks for the US Navy. (h/t/ PIperK on Twitter who first flagged her new position.) 1/

Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Kevin Kiley refuses to talk to his constituents about their health care and social security. Because he WON’T protect it. So, I went to Folsom and talked to them.

Hey hey Massachusetts!

Hegseth needs to be fired. The intel he shared via Signal, including to his wife, was sent to him on a secure channel. He knowingly exposed our pilots to unnecessary danger with his show boat antics.

Surely there was a follow-up from the Dress Code Douchebag ... Something like "speaking of unprofessional, don't you find it disrespectful to come to the White House dressed like you just finished cleaning your gutters?" ... Nothing? Weird...

Here's Marky Mark on Jan. 6, hiding behind a chair in the Capitol, scared of the rioters who were there because he and his buddies egged them on with lies.

"A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else." - John Burroughs

Everyone who served in the military knew a lieutenant like Hegseth. We just never imagined that we would ever have a president who would make one of those dipshits Sec of Defense because he liked his rap on TV.

Over on X, a tale of the madness currently playing out with student visas is currently going viral on the basis of an astonishing quote from a judge calling what the Trump administration is doing “Kafkaesque.” The lawsuit is one of Banias. law’s emergency TRO cases and the quote is from 5 days ago.

Pete's the new DEI: Drunk, Evil, and Ignorant

The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success. Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.

BREAKING NYT: Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer. The info included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting Houthis. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
