@streetsblogchi This is BS, show a receipt. This is the 24 hour rate or the valet rate. If this guy really did once live in Chicago he forgot everything about it

Sobering. But if these folks didn't absolutely need to drive to the Art Institute and, say, parking at a suburban Metra station would have been a viable alternative, unnecessarily driving to the center of a congested big city can be its own punishment. chicagotribune.com/2026/06/15/let…

@Suntimes Until today. This is barely a .500 team

Who knows if the Cubs' 8-22 stretch that dropped them from first place to .500 is completely in the rearview mirror? But the last three days have looked more like it for a team with championship-level aspirations. chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2026/06/1…

@chicagobars @CheapSeats411 First lick me

“Eat me?”

@atrupar These people are all morons and would still vote for him again

Morning Joe interviewed 3-time Trump voters who have become disillusioned: "It's been two years now. You said you'd bring down the grocery prices. I must be the most angry person when I grocery shop." "He's backtracked on every single pitch point he had during his election ... I'm not a big supporter of him at this point"

@mtaibbi You’re a trumper because you’re a racist and homophobe

I’m a Trumper because I think people should vote in person (or have a reason if they don’t)? This was standard pretty much everywhere in America before Trump

@JustinWolfers You do need about 200K jobs created each month now vs about 250K pre covid and with significantly reduced immigration. Worker participation rate has dropped over 2.0% in last 18 months so unemployment rate has stayed level

172,000 jobs sounds modest only if you're using a Covid-era benchmark.⁣ ⁣ In a slower-growing population, you don't need massive job gains to keep the labor market healthy.⁣ ⁣ newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/why-i-still-…

@SeanTrende What elections have been reversed

The LA fraud story is really unconvincing on my read, but I wish people would be less knee-jerk in rejecting allegations of fraud. It does happen and elections have even been reversed in my lifetime because of it. The moral of the boy who cried wolf is not that wolves don’t exist

@atrupar He’s lying, the transportation fraud was nowhere near that amount. It was also easily correctable but it’s much easier to fuck over blue states

Dr Oz on transportation to doctors for low-income people: "Now nobody in Minnesota who needs that valuable program can get it anymore"

@jaketapper Yes, but what about Biden’s acuity? Fuck you @jaketapper

One very telling moment from that Trump interview on NBC that I keep thinking about —-

@WGNNews What they really mean is we would have raised the price- a lot

The couple said that, had they known the land would be used for a data center, they likely would not have sold it. Read more: wgntv.com/news/couple-sa…

@AP Ya, the fantasy is having a net worth of $25 million dollars

Scott Pelley may have lost his job after publicly blasting CBS management. But for many workers, he lived out a fantasy. apnews.com/article/cbs-sc…

@samstein @DecodingFoxNews And the press for allowing it

of all the pernicious things that have happened over the past few years I think the effective rebranding of January 6 into an event in which the rioters were the ones who were wronged may best symbolize how bad our politics have become.

not sure if i associate J6 with love and friendship. But perhaps he's right about people crying

@Acyn Ratings will still drop 50%

MacFarlane: 60 minutes is still going to be on. Jen. After the greatest television program ratings deliverer of all—the NFL. It'll still be Patrick Mahomes and 60 minutes. It'll still be Josh Allen and 60 minutes, which means people are going to, if nothing else, stumble upon the new show.

@JTTheBrick He said respectfully, you’re a fucking moron

I’ve watched 60 Minutes my entire life. All of it. Arguably my favorite all time show, but you can’t talk this way to your BOSS. You can’t. No matter if you’re a journalist or not. You have to respect the work environment. Voice your displeasure, but understand there is a CLIFF you can’t walk off of or get thrown from. He did. He lost his freaking mind at work and got fired for CAUSE.

@chicagobars @BeerInsights Whiskey glut is an oxymoron

Whiskey glut has entered the @BeerInsights Chicago conference chat.

@katienotopoulos Some people have morals, even if they don’t have fuck you $$. Some people are way better than you

The Scott Pelley story to me is a lesson in how if you work hard enough in your career to get Fuck You Money, the real reward is the day you need to say it, you can

@JustinWolfers Because of the growth in healthcare jobs, especially senior care. Jobs are almost exclusively women

Since Trump returned to office, 86% of net new payroll jobs have gone to women. Women now hold slightly more nonfarm payroll jobs than men — 50.02%.⁣ ⁣ The labor market has shifted. The question is whether our policies and politics have noticed.

@jeremymbarr Doesn’t matter, no one will be watching

Bari Weiss said that many of Scott Pelley's recent stories "typify 60 Minutes, and they're the kind of stories that Nick Bilton is going to put on the air come September in Season 59 with the amazing team that's still there and hopefully from some new people that are going to join us." (The network has not yet said who those new people will be.)

NEW: Bari Weiss just addressed the termination of Scott Pelley on the network's morning call just now. Weiss: "I know I speak for myself, and I hope I speak for everyone here when I say that I'm only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect. We cannot do our work without it. That foundation was broken on Monday, and despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren't able to do so, and so we had to part ways. We did not want that to happen, but that's the path that he chose. That unfortunate outcome does not discount from the amazing contributions and work that Scott Pelley has done for CBS and for 60 Minutes over the course of his career." She then listed some of his stories from the past season and called them "unforgettable stories."

@Suntimes Tough road since Johnson is an anti semite

Mayor Brandon Johnson’s pick to head Chicago’s Commission on Human Relations pledged Tuesday to repair the mayor’s strained ties with mainstream Jewish leaders. chicago.suntimes.com/2026/06/02/joh…

@JoJoFromJerz True, but don’t believe one word these Energy companies say? They’re a bunch of lying mother fuckers

Is this the part where the MAGA shidiots tell me to “cry harder” or nah.
