the thing about this entire Megyn Kelly situation is that many of the victims are alive and vocal and Virginia Giuffre wrote a book before she died and so nobody actually needs to be debating the meaning of the term “pedophile” because we KNOW EXACTLY HOW THE HIGHLY VULNERABLE VICTIMS WERE HARMED

There is nothing “radical” about wanting a more equitable city. About wanting to be able to afford rent. About seeing the gap between the rich and the poor growing beyond comprehension. Any mainstream media organization portraying these promises as such is doing a disservice to the industry.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
It's official: Speaker Johnson just cancelled all votes in the House next week.

The next scheduled voting day is 10/27; the last time the House was in session was 9/19.

The ability to remove your post when a hostile account quote-tweets you is a great feature of Bluesky.

To do it, go to their quote-tweet of you, click on the three dots in the bottom right, then click “detach quote.”

It shows up as “removed by author.”

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis is set to hold a hearing in this case at 8:30 am CT. Unclear why she called it (it was before the filing below).

DISCLAIMER: The Chicago Newspaper Guild is a plaintiff. I’m a member but not an officer, and I’ve had no involvement in the suit (other than covering it).
Good morning. An overnight court filings reveals discussions took place Wednesday over whether the Trump administration has violated a judge's order addressing the use of force in its Chicago immigration campaign.

"The government believes the TRO has not been violated at all."
