And it never happens. Here in Philly, our incumbent progressive District Attorney, Larry Krasner won his primary in a walk. His opponent, Pat Dugan, accepted the endorsement of Republicans from a write-in effort and is running again in the general right now.

As do the centrists. For example, when are we getting the Mamdani endorsement from Jeffries?

I’m convinced Quo Vadimus was a front for SHIELD and they sent Phil Coulson in to buy Continental Corp. to use worldwide sports reporting to give cover to SHIELD agents needing to travel undercover. (Yes, I accept this is patently ridiculous, but Disney owns all of it and can make it happen.)

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

They’ve become the Young Americans for Freedom I used to have to deal with back in college. The Republican Party has become wholly irredeemable at this point. Any conservative who believes in democracy needs to start a new party or continue to be part of the problem.

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.
