Anita Bonds still doing her usual thing of trying to be all sides of an issue.
wamu.org/story/25/11/...
In an interview, Bonds gave conflicting answers about her future. At one point, she indicated she was indeed running and planned to make an announcement in the coming days. However, she also said she was “50-50” on pursuing another bid and that she was “80 percent there” in making a decision “one way or the other.” “I’m not as young as I once was, and I’m sure everyone is aware of that,” Bonds said. “But sometimes you can continue to kick that can down the road and it will stay in the lane. And so I’m really thinking about it very strongly.”

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders, 21 Oct 2019: Tulsi Gabbard has put her life on the line to defend this country. People can disagree on issues, but it is outrageous for anyone to suggest that Tulsi is a foreign asset.

Remarkably similar to DC's special election in July (except that it didn't return someone to office who'd been expelled after being indicted for accepting a bribe).

I wonder what ICE people the artist of this sticker has seen. They're not generally known for wearing uniforms.
Sticker that says "Melt ICE" with a drawing of a figure in a military uniform complete with service cap surrounded by flames

The administration's story is already starting to fall apart.
McLaughlin said “no law enforcement officers were seriously injured,” and the wounded woman “drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.” But Larry Merritt, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman, said she was found near 39th Street and Kedzie Avenue and taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.

Ted Cruz @tedcruz, 28 Sep 2025: To all the bots saying she never mentioned the Jews, it says “find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions.” She’s talking about Belgians? Argentinians? As she said “the People understand.” Yes we do. And no, Israel didn’t murder Charlie.

I first noticed one Aug 11, but I hear they had been around for a while at that point.

Had whoever started the rumors read "V for Vendetta"?
Frames from "V for Vendetta" showing V and Lewis Prothero talking about Prothero's doll collection. P: My God, if you've damaged any of them… They're priceless! Hardly any of the big collections survived the war. If you've damaged them… V: Admirable concern, Commander. Yet it's deuced odd, isn't it? How you can show so much concern for porcelain and plastic… and show so little for flesh and blood. Do you remember, Commander? Do you remember when it was people gathered in this sordid little enclosure? People half dead with starvation and dysentery?

One former councilmember has expressed an opinion (on X).
Tweet from Elissa Silverman @tweetelissa, 3 Sep 2025: Please @donnabrazile, tell Delegate Norton that if she runs, you will support one of her opponents. I'm sorry it has come to this, but it has. I think @RepRaskin might need to tell Eleanor this too.
