Congrats to the NY Times. Trump is calling for its "arrest" on the same day NYT ran a fawning story about his former press secretary, the "steely” and “nimble” Karoline Leavitt. When the Times' staff is frog-marched out of the newsroom at gunpoint, will they realize they brought it on themselves?

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

His priorities are showing. When gasoline prices spiked, Trump stood on the sidelines. When diesel spiked, he jumped into action. Who is he trying to serve?

I have perfected my Dijon mustard recipe. Canadian mustard seeds, more garlic, more white wine, less water and a longer smooth blend. So much tastier than store bought and I know every ingredient that has gone into it. Staying away from processed foods.

Chicagoans! Come to The Onion's tent at RiotFest today and try some HogWater. It smells like one thing and tastes like another, and if you have two you WILL see Abraham Lincoln. It has a truly Tomacco-esque flavor profile! Come try it!

We're losing guardrails on the BLS, Census, and BEA numbers. I'm not alarmed yet, but if they give us reasons to not trust them, then the US joins a club with Russia, Argentina, and Venezuela. Great crowd platypuseconomics.substack.com/p/th…

Love people boldly & generously. Let your love be seen. Sit with them when they’re sad, celebrate with them when they're happy, bring them a flower, cook their favorite meal, give an extra hug, ask how they are & truly listen. Never leave someone you love wondering if they matter. #JayesMorningLight

The thought that despicable people come here and disrespect us this way is unfathomable. Hopefully national media will report on this, and showcase our strength and resilience in spite of this. This is NOT OKAY. And there must be accountability. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social

Am gutted by a vicious display of racism and intolerance in my wonderful Homewood-Flossmoor IL community Friday night at our high school’s Homecoming game. Students from Lincoln Way East taunted and demeaned H-F students with disgusting and racist actions and words. (1)

Just saying..... Growing one tomato plant costs anywhere from $1 to $25+, depending on whether you start from seed or buy pre-potted seedlings. Over a season, a single well-cared-for plant yields 20 to 30 pounds of tomatoes (potentially worth $45 to $120), making it cost-effective. #TheOutpost 🌱👨‍🌾🍅🍴

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’ should try and pin the blame for political violence on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.
