Did a horse write this?

From the Editorial Board:

As Mayor Brandon Johnson prepares to give his budget address Thursday, one idea should get tossed aside: eliminating Chicago’s mounted police unit.

Editorial: Chicago budget should not cut mounted police nor sell off their horses

Is Chicago really going to sell off the horse named for Officer Ella French?

Lazy AI clickbait articles will have a headline like "No one remembers this forgotten 80s singer" and it will be about Michael Jackson.

It's a fair sentiment. I am just concerned about optics for Saturday. The right wing position is that it is a protest of people who hate America. So it is very important to message that it is about Love of America. That's all.

This is outstanding and works if you picture either a boardroom full of ninjas, or a boardroom with no ninjas.

Another point about these protests- I hope people don't act like a bunch of knuckleheads in front of the media.

Just got off a zoom call with our "No Kings" GROUP, and someone is printing up "WE LOVE AMERICA ENOUGH TO SAVE IT" shirts and signs.

They should allow betting on politics with those gambling apps like FanDuel and DraftKings, because I want to see a Barstool bro posting to a Congressperson "You couldn't have had one more cloture vote??? You cost me $1,500 you lazy piece of shit!!! Do not run for reelection, you suck."

"We have a rising new Dem star who really engages with people, and is sure to win their next election."

DEM LEADERSHIP: That's fantastic.

"What are the next steps?"

DEM LEADERSHIP: Simple. Force them to step aside and throw their support behind this 80-year-old lifetime politician.
