Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

Fact check: The tariffs aren't paid for by foreign countries like Trump just claimed. They are paid for by Americans, and foreign countries are bullied into doing Trump and his cronies favors to get out of them. This grifter in chief is full of it!

Warren: "Knock 15 million people off their coverage, drive up the cost for everyone else, close rural hospitals -- that's the Republican plan, because you know what the real heart of it was? They gave away a trillion dollars to the billionaires. That was the part that matters to them."

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.

Real leadership is the opposite of thuggery. The so-called “strongmen” of the current era — Putin, Trump, and Netanyahu — are not leaders. They can manipulate public opinion and sustain their bases of power, but they have no moral authority.

The thing about transphobes is they could literally just mind their business. And for you left of center transphobes: you're doing the same thing MAGA is doing to Black and brown folks. Arguing that your discomfort with people who are different is a reason to legislate them out of society.

Oh Otis, I bearly knew you. From an Instagram post by @tsu_namee www.instagram.com/p/DNl8Wb8SvL...

An Instagram post by @ tsu_namee that says "We did not see 480 Otis last summer, but we held hope he was just grazing elsewhere. Now it's late August 2025 with still no sign of him. If he's out there, he would be almost 30 (well over 110 in human years). Sadly, I think we can assume he has
walked into his long, deep dream. This is my obituary for one of Katmai's greatest."

Despite not having a competitive bone in his body, 480 Otis held more Fat Bear Week titles (2014, 2016, 2017, 2021) than any other bear at Katmai. The fandom of 480 Otis is near devotional; he is loved on a spiritual level. I once referred to him as "The Buddha of Brooks Falls" because of his zenmaster approach to being a bear. He avoided conflict, he was the boss of sleeping, and his signature fishing style was to sit in the river and stare at the water. He was very good at this, and he will be remembered in his full fatness.

Ever the gentleman, Otis was private about his courtship and mating. Because of this, and because his DNA sample was lost, he has no known offspring. However, 480 Otis is survived by his chosen family of friends and frenemies at Brooks River, including 128 Grazer who was known to let her guard down near him, and 89 Backpack who is debated to be a possible son, and 164 Bucky who used to sit beside him in The Office (Otis's favorite fishing spot).

He is also survived by hundreds of thousands of human fans around the globe whose streams of memories he'll forever fish in.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.
