Another recovering journalist. Rehabbing walker.

Chicago WLS anchor Cheryl Burton, mathematician. Sports reporter notes that a few years ago, a store sold just 8 Caleb Williams jerseys; last season it sold 800. "That's a 100 percent increase!" Cheryl exclaimed.

Trump: Gavin Newscum has admitted that he is that he has learning disabilities. I think a president should not have learning disabilities. The president of the United States, Gavin Newscum, admitted that he has learning disabilities, dyslexia, everything about him is dumb

I regret to inform America that this was just posted by the HHS Secretary.

For nearly a century, @washingtonpost foreign correspondents have been on the frontlines of wars, pandemics, economic crises, civil uprisings and so much more. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch and share.

Well, 2026, how about this? The pope was born in America and the mayor of New York City was born in Africa.

@Grey_Athena @gtconway3d There’s another sign of a good night.

@BillAckman @andrewcuomo @CurtisSliwa WRONG… even if you add Sliwa’s percentage, Cuomo would have lost. Now what do you have to say?

[rolandsmartin @rolandsmartin]

Hey @BillAckman, you lose AGAIN

@RichardERoeper The difference tonight is that the young charismatic candidate just elected mayor of America's largest city was very clear about*exactly* what he will do now. And the voters said, cool!

[Richard Roeper @RichardERoeper]

On election nights, I’m always reminded of the final scene in “The Candidate” (1972), still one of the best movies ever made about American politics. Great work by Robert Redford as Bill McKay, who wins the Senate race against all odds, and then asks: “What do we do now?”

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Shocking that “we’ll starve poor kids unless you let us hike health insurance premiums” isn’t a winning message

[Mark Fitzgerald @fitzbeat]

Absolutely maddening listening to the DC-approved journalists doing their level best to minimize Mamdani's election, pooh-poohing the goals New Yorkers voted for, and pining openly for lukewarm Democrats afraid of real change.

@SenBillCassidy I hold you Dr. Cassidy as a fellow physician to a higher standard. You are now a worldwide case study how a physician can fall from grace and with a pen wrought irreparable harm on children, women, adults and the elderly. You knew better Dr. Cassidy.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

@SenBillCassidy Dude, you had the fucking chance to stand for something and you didn’t do it. This is as much your fault as it is anyone else’s and we all know what you did what you said and who you empowered.

You did this you own this.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

It should tell you everything you need to know that Donald Trump supports Andrew Cuomo.

Zohran Mamdani is taking on a corrupt system that fails working people—it’s why New Yorkers voted for him to be the Democratic nominee and why he’ll be the next NYC mayor.

[Mark Fitzgerald @fitzbeat]

If, as Trump says, Louisiana's guv thinks "sending" the National Guard into New Orleans is such a good idea why doesn't Landry just mobilize them himself?

But that's not in the performative authoritarian's playbook, I guess.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

THANK YOU, GLORIOUS LEADER!

[Mark Fitzgerald @fitzbeat]

Better cross one of your (5? 6? 7?) wars you've allegedly ended, Donald. Seems Rawanda's proxy M23 and Congo were at it pretty heavy even as you were putting them on your Nobel Peace Prize resume. https://t.co/5jg3GrglKF

Today I got up late, took the 1:44 Metra downtown, did a quick errand, had lunch, followed up with a couple of NA beers at Rivers, took the 5:07 home to Norwood Park.
And accomplished way more than Trump at his "summit."

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

Little Tokyo today in LA outside Gavin Newsom’s press conference. No badge number, no name plate, no identifying marks. I don’t know how you can call yourself a man and go about your life like this.
