Chicago is officially on the map 📍

There is nothing more Chicago than the new Pope’s brother giving an interview from his tv room and talking about the Cubs vs the White Sox.

Finally Rome will have good pizza

Crossword constructors rejoice over LEOXIV! #pope

hey @joe_depaolo - do you actually read the AI-generated transcripts you quote from before you put them in your stories? If so, how does something like this get through?

"There really is nobody in this country easier to dupe than a Trump supporter. There are few marks in the world easier to fool." — @SteveFriess starspangledgamblers.libsyn.com/will-trump-sho…

The news of a second death from measles brought to mind this prescient 2021 @Newsweek cover story by @SteveFriess newsweek.com/2021/10/15/ant…

My analysis of the #Harris #Walz v #Trump #Vance race in #Michigan based on early voting and absentee ballot data. #Black and Muslim/Arab turnout so far is lagging the statewide numbers so far. via @ScrippsNews @HaleyBullNews @AlexaLiacko youtube.com/watch?v=7YKygS…

Also: Heavily #Black areas of #Ypsilanti (28.9%), #Flint (20.8%) #Detroit (25.5%) for turnout so far via early+absentee voting. Detroit had 4 extra days of in-person early voting, too. Statewide turnout 33.1% so far. 7 counties are 40+%. @TheDailyDetroit @umichvoter @axios

WILD #MI data: #Muslim turnout is extremely low so far. Statewide, 33.1% of all registered voters have voted. In #Dearborn it's 17.8%, Dearborn Hgts 19%, #Hamtramck: 15.8%. Contrast: #AnnArbor is already over 44%. @SteveKornacki @umichvoter @sarahlongwell25 @nancykaffer

💙 Our Hutch Hero @aidanhutch97 💙 @Lions Hutch has shared words of encouragement with these #LittleVictors and written many of their names on his water jug before each game. Now, they are sharing words of encouragement with him.

That’s ok. Donald Trump doesn’t know what’s in Donald Trump’s plans.

This sort of subject line/headline from @MorningConsult drives me bonkers. It's not true! The correct headline is: "Harris-Trump race unchanged." A 1-point (or even a 3-point!) shift is statistically meaningless AND THEY KNOW IT. #polls

@isaac_schorr @Mediaite I'm pretty sure you didn't mean this double negative. Also, a reasonable column is marred here by a snark suggesting Planned Parenthood decides whether medication is safe and effective. The scientists at the FDA do that, of course. @Mediaite needs better editors.

ProPublica's Misleading Abortion Ban Stories Are Part of the Problem If ProPublica cannot control its ideological impulses, it should recuse itself from the subject entirely. My column @Mediaite mediaite.com/a/bobuc

"Overheating" lends itself to explanation of offensive cyber "New shipment" lends itself to supply-chain insertion of explosives, detonated remotely

This is mature for a 78 yo man. And he wants to be president. Of what? 5th grade?

Congratulations to Christopher Rufo, who, while trying to find evidence of Haitians eating cats in Springfield, managed, through the tireless journalistic efforts of his team, to uncover the shocking story of someone grilling chicken in a different city more than a year ago

President Trump held a news conference at his Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles today. When he was done speaking, he turned and looked out at the ocean, and said, "We have the most stupendous views of any golf course in North America right here. Look at that beauty, it's just tremendous, don't you agree?" He pointed at an island on the horizon and continued, "Look at Hawaii, can you imagine living and golfing here and looking out every day and seeing the beautiful Hawaiian Islands? It's unbelievable!"

If she plays her cards right, she could end up buried at Bedminster.
