PHOTOS: Delays persist at O'Hare as thunderstorms, much warmer weather take over Chicago area

Don't drink a Celsius followed by two iced lattes and then read the news. (Even a Celsius plus the news might be pushing it. Come to think of it, the news itself is a bit much.)

Afternoon Commute

Prediction market betting on politics must be ended. No anonymous accounts. No inside bets on human lives lost.

One of the few records that made me cry.

I've often thought we need a League of Democracies, but we'd have to constantly be like, "No, no, RESPECTABLE democracies."

I mean I can't blame her I'd be salty af

I have that awful feeling that this is gonna be like 2020 in that an objectively crazy early January event (then, killing Solemani; now, kidnapping Maduro) will by the end of the year not even be on the top-ten-craziest-things list.

Many people are saying this

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%

I mean the oyster stuff presumably. Or not. Who knows?

It’s called “vetting,” asshole. You’re running for a high-profile U.S. Senate seat with zero political experience. Of COURSE they’re gonna dig into your past. That’s standard.

Once again: Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t have a clue how anything works.

Say it again.

Words, huh, yeah
What are they good for?
Absolutely nothing, uhh

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

If "Oh no the precious oil" is what gets them to stop this, I'm all for it.

Republicans, remember that time after January 6th when a few of you talked about invoking the 25th Amendment? Do you ever wonder if maybe you should have done that?

It's my emotional support war of aggression

Hadn't thought about this but...fuck, there's some nightmare fuel.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

This. This is why you hold the vote even when you're going to lose.

This is so huge to me. If you're not opposed to fascism for moral reasons, you should at least be opposed to it because it sucks and it makes everything worse.

In the supposedly dumb, politically correct era we coordinated with our allies so they wouldn't get caught flat footed and warned American citizens abroad to evacuate BEFORE the country we attacked had a chance to bomb all of our foreign embassies.

don’t let anyone rob you of your joy about kristi noem getting fired. we get to have a day.

Never trusted them.

the stove has been lightly touched, the prescription is more stove

And there you have it.

Have you tried going on BlueSky? That'll help.

one thing that’s a little bit of a tell is how the most psychotic harassment accounts on this site are mostly hardcore Platner defenders
