Just walking around the hellscape that is my Chicago neighborhood this morning

I think one of the reasons you hear so much visceral anger coming from Dems about politics these days is bc for years now we’ve been expected to respond with dignity and respect (which we do) when political violence touches the GOP. But when it touches us - we get the Mike Lee’s of the world.

I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.

This is a great standard to apply to your political takes…

This is not “analysis”. It’s also not particularly insightful or intelligent. I need everyone - but particularly this particular commentator - to do much better in this moment.

My Orangetheory instructor had a Jock Jams playlist for class today and damn if that mix doesn’t hit just as hard as it did when I was playing it on my Discman (with 15 second skip protection).

I will once again ask - who did Ken Griffin endorse for President in 2024?

Where are the male reporters when this happens? Why do I never see them stick up for their female colleagues? It’s absurd. Find your courage stones ffs.

I am just a simple country political operative but I’m pretty sure that arresting journalists, tanking the economy, engineering widespread corruption all while shooting innocent mothers and VA nurses in the head in broad daylight with 1000 witnesses is not just unpopular but politically disastrous.

Remind me again who Ken Griffin supported in the 2024 elections again?

Somehow we are on the 800th day of January.

I agree with Jonathan Martin’s reporting here about how to decode GOP speak on the killing of Alex Pretti. But man what an indictment on the cowardice of the modern Republican Party. Not an upstander among them.

Juliana has been a great partner for @jbpritzker.bsky.social for almost 8 years and I’m excited to vote to send her to the US Senate.
