Democratic politicians’ inability to understand the importance of framing after 30 years of getting smoked on framing is frustrating as hell to watch.

The celery bits are the best part of the giardinara. I will not be taking any questions.

In the 2 weeks since Lurie Children’s Hospital paused surgeries for transgender youth, @kschorsch.bsky.social has spoken with 10 patients or their parents about what it means for their lives for @wbez.org. They described disappointment, loss of hope and anger. www.wbez.org/health-medic...

As the Eric Adams-DOJ scandal breaks, let’s not forget that the Washington Post endorsed Pam Bondi for attorney general.

All’s bad.
