Football, Chicago and ASOIAF are my three great loves. Proud Neoliberal shill. Everything comes back to housing so let’s build more.

Pope Leo XIV bringing the jokes meeting with Villanova and Notre Dame 😂:
“Growing up on the south side of Chicago, we oftentimes heard, “Go Irish!”
But, as you all know, Prevost graduated from Villanova.
So the Pope doesn't take sides.
Prevost has another opinion, but we won't do that now.”

Putting Michigan in the early window for the Dem primary was a mistake. We’re going to spend two years tearing this party apart.

Haley Stevens’ statement was petty high school nonsense
Abdul El-Sayed’s statement was also petty high school nonsense but worse because he’s the candidate
Mike Rogers’ campaign is worst of all because it’s based on rank Islamophobia and he will probably still lose

We've got the first donor disclosure for Fair Deal Alaska, which spent against Mary Peltola in the #AKSEN primary, while boosting a lesser-known Dem and a Green Party candidate
It was primarily funded by the Senate Leadership Fund (R)

There are lots of inspirational accounts that conclude with the message "you can kill someone, but not their ideals."
The assassination of Yizhtak Rabin is proof you can. The current Israeli gov is stuffed full of people who literally called for his assassination
Not buying it until I see it happen

The pettiness of these politicians is infuriating. Don’t tell us the democracy is at stake and then put your hurt feelings ahead of it.

Here's what I showed in my class today: 8 senate seats are within a pretty normal polling error

I think responding to anti-Semitic attacks with “no I’m one of the good ones” feels iffy to me to be honest
Anti Semitism needs to be rooted out, not danced around
This entire race vindicates the McMorrow supports and I’ve never heard a good explanation for why Schumer chose Haley Stevens?

Jewish Insider: Mallory McMorrow makes the case for El-Sayed to Jewish voters
The Michigan Democrat downplayed El-Sayed’s ability to influence Middle East policy while underscoring the importance of Democrats winning a Senate majority

Lower the deficit, repeal the tariffs, build housing, end the war and you get another roaring 20s.
JUST IN: The U.S. economy is growing rapidly.
GDP Growth in the 3rd quarter came in at a hot 3.4%. That was even better than expected.
What's driving this?
1) The big AI investment. There was another huge surge in business investment (+12.7%!)
2) Consumer spending also robust. +3.8% in Q3. That's the same as Q2 and the strongest since the end of 2024.
Not everyone is feeling the benefits of this growth uptick. But anything related to AI is soaring.

Obama 🔥: "The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison! That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments. He took great umbrage. The mobilized a whole of government response to that joke! They told the Treasury Secretary to hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory. This really happened."
