Canalboat is also not a bad word ...
It's why we built them, @starlinechicago.bsky.social
Investing in a seventh (or eighth, assuming DeKalb can be a thing) main line just to add maybe two or three round-trips a day is downright wasteful.

“Bus” is not a bad word. We need to maximize services on infrastructure we’ve already built rather than keep giving handouts to freight railroads.

This '25 Bk after a 4/24 launch, just could not be more appropriate, unless, well, if maybe it also was a rebuke to Nancy Grace

which I guess it was!

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

Cannot emphasize this enough.

If you shop on Black Friday, shop only at small biz, minority owned biz, women owned biz, or support independent media.

If the negative spread rises from 22% to 33%, can we see some action on impeachment then? Waiting!

Those were the days!
In October 2024, the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.1 % and the inflation rate was 2.6 %. Now, unemployment is 4.4 %, inflation has risen to 3 %, and we’ve added $3 Trillion to the national debt. The “Golden Age” feels more like the “Broke-Ass Olden Age.”

Residents of Pilsen, Little Village, Heart of Italy, +Douglas Pk have as much right to safe/easy bike access to Lakef. amenities in Ald. Pat Dowell's 3rd Ward as those in W. Rogers Park, Lincoln Sq, Roscoe Vill, Bucktown & Logan Sq. do, to escape congestion & pollution in their 'hoods by bike. 🧵1/2
🚨 ACTION ALERT🚨 We did a ride-thru of the lanes Ald. Dowell just paused construction on, to see what's been constructed so far. It includes moving the bike lane to a parking-protected curbside lane, and installing concrete protection at intersections on the 1/2mi stretch. youtu.be/XtjgaB0OywE (1/3)

Is this the face of someone who was in the midst of an $200M emergency?

Since you mention "Break our laws, we’ll punish you..."
#Kristi, hiring #StrategyGroup, w/out competitive bidding (the insider firm who's name was left off public docs for your emergency PR/Publicity contract)
DID BREAK LAWS!
(ProPublica) Picked this story up on MS NOW at 11 PM tonight....some more lying, cheating, non-compete contract, total lack of truth, etc. Looks a bit like a campaign ad, about $200 million in cost. Details are coming out...stay tuned. LIE, CHEAT, STEAL.

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts
The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊
