I’m all for people running for office if they feel called to. But if your campaign fails to take off in the first few weeks and there are other candidates talking about many of the same issues you are, you have to drop out. I’m sorry — but it’s the only way we’re getting anywhere.

The annual pumpkin display at the entrance of Governor Pritzker’s personal residence on Astor Street. He is the pumpkin king. Illinois produces the most pumpkins, including canned, than any other state in the U.S., twice as many as the next five states combined.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

If you want to emulate Mamdani the first thing is he's New York. You can't fake that. I know who his parents are, but he comes off just the same as the dry cleaner's son sent to a good school. He was graduated from Bowdoin but he still is who he is. You have that or you don't.

Someone in Chicago made protest flyers that mimic the design of handbills that contractors put on people’s garages. I saw one on my garage this morning and then noticed many more when I went out for an early walk. A lot of contractors are undocumented so they will surely see these.

A flyer with red ink text/graphics in the style of those made by contractors selling their services, but with content about Abolishing ICE. It's taped to the side of a garage door and includes information about who to contact if you see ICE activity and links to Know Your Rights information.

This is exactly why I’m not trusting any of these polls for NJ Governor (and they keep coming, every day). The questions are getting really weird. Like how on earth am I supposed to sum up what I’ve heard about the election in a few words? Weird.
