Thanks for this. I’m a few thousand miles from Illinois, so my Pritzker awareness isn’t robust, but with what you’ve written and quoted here, I’m moving him to my list of good guy Democratic politicians.

There are 9, now including Pritzker.

25th Amendment, babe.

Added ‘blister’ to my list of headline action! verbs! only bullshit sites use.

backlash, blasts, blisters, bombshell, calls out, claps back, goes viral, melts down, mind-blowing, mocks, rages, rips, scoop, skewers, slams, stuns, trolls, weighs in…

Any others?

I dunno, feels fairly productive — I got three blocks out of just one thread.

Factcheck: Everyone hasn’t told @[email protected] that they’re flat out wrong about TV ads. I haven’t had my turn yet.

@[email protected], you are flat out wrong about TV ads for alcoholic beverages in the USA. I’m cheerfully hoisting an adult beverage soon as I’ve posted this, “as seen on TV.”

The Pope is right like a stopped watch, and you know what else is incompatible with Christianity and conscience? The Catholic Church.

Donald Trump cannot be shamed.

Nothing news from an empty source.

The Anti-Defamation League, a US-based pro-Israeli group which monitors anti-Semitism and hate speech, has described Musk’s gesture as “awkward” but did not say it was a Nazi salute.

That’s a bit of bullshit. The ADL said specifically that it was NOT a Nazi salute. Which is the end of the ADL, for me. They’re simply not credible as alleged opponents of anti-Semitism.

Why would you hold such hopes? Seriously, I have you tagged as “REALLY GOOD AT CUTTING THROUGH THE CRAP,” and Rogan has been all-crap for soooo long.

Dementia, man. Giuliani has completely checked out of reality.

Memo to CNN: In no sense is it newsworthy that Bill Clinton had the flu.

Both sides do it, both sides do it…

    OK, so there’s this wingnut Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Football) who’s angry that the military reimburses officers for travel expenses when they need to go out-of-state for an abortion. Until that rule’s changed, Tuberville has vowed to block all military promotions (who knew Senators had that power?) and now the Army, Navy and Marine Corps have no Senate-approved commanders in place.

    Other than how it screws over low-ranking officers, I really give no shits at all about Tuberville’s blockade. It makes him look like an idiot, and he is an idiot, and I’m pretty sure the Army, Navy and Marine Corps can do all their armying, navying, and marine corpsing without Senate-approved leadership.

    But man, I got a laugh out of that “aiding and abetting the Communists” crack.

Huh. I’d thought of Vox as being a reasonably reliable site, but handing a page over to a shill and not even telling readers he’s a shill… Jeez, even Fox News identifies the shills with a chyron.

In what sense is half “fully”?

I’ll say the obligatory “Trump’s a criminal and needs to be in prison,” and I mean it, but mostly I just think it’s cool that our page is big enough here to have a megathread.

It’s the only way Republicans can win.

And it pisses me off that they win by cheating.

Why is this even phrased as a question?
