“If Caitlin Clark could play in the NBA, everybody would applaud it. That would be an incredible thing. But if the last guy on the bench of an NBA team went to a WNBA team and started averaging 40 points, everybody would know that is BS."
- Legendary Broadcaster Bob Costas
Women’s sports should be female ONLY.

@the_transit_guy Cook County should look into something like what Greater London did in 1965: making municipalities & school districts into 200,000 person boroughs

You need to both pay well and move along poor performers. It doesn’t work without both.

If you really want to kill The Contractor State, raise government payscales so you can hire top talent at market rates, instead of having to outsource to contractors at the price of market + their margin. It will feel expensive at first but save money in the long run.

None of this is normal
None of this happened under Biden
Right wingers and fake centrists like to pretend this is what every administration does, but it's not
They are robbing the American people - American soldiers have *died* and they use it as an opportunity to get rich

6:49am: sudden spike in oil futures trading. no news. no announcement. nothing public. 7:05am: trump announces a pause on iran strikes. markets move. someone knew. 16 minutes early. $580 million in contracts. the corruption is staggering.

@GrantWehrli @senatorellman @jyangrohr @RepStava_Murray On Zillow, Naperville has 254 homes for sale with only 4 below $200,000. Not because of some natural product of the market but rather because that "long history of planning for the future" is incompatible with capitalism & economic freedom
English
I'm sure @senatorellman @jyangrohr and @RepStava_Murray who have zero land planning experience will support this 100%. Naperville has a long history of planning for the future and they are about to throw it all out the window because JB tells them to.

We need to stop prioritizing parking lots over people. Today, I assembled a roundtable to discuss our Building Up Illinois Developments Plan — and the consensus was that we need to act fast. Looking forward to passing it and getting to work in our neighborhoods.

Good old days! Had a lot of depth in state then gotta get back to Illinois being a hot bed for hoopers!

🚨Big news: Washington state just enacted a *full ban* on noncompete agreements.
Noncompetes hurt wages, reduce entrepreneurship, and harm innovation—in addition to the obvious: impeding competition.
Banning them is pro-worker, pro-growth, pro-dynamism policy.

@conncarroll That provides a good explanation, primarily in the NASBO's All Other category (60% of Illinois's spending vs 2% for Texas)

California state government spends $12,556 per person. New York $11,742. Illinois $9,893.
Meanwhile Texas spends just $4,849 per person. Florida $5,056. Georgia $5,563.
What are blue state tax payers getting with this spending? Better services? Better roads? Better schools?

@_fat_ugly_rat_ Illinois has enough of its high school state tournaments in Bloomington-Normal, good location for where people/interstates are, to make me think if we were picking state capitals from scratch, IL may just go with Bloomington-Normal
English
For the states that I think should move their capitals
AK: Anchorage
WA: Seattle
CA: Los Angeles (SF is fine too)
NV: Las Vegas
MO: St Louis (KC is fine too)
IL: Chicago
KY: Lexington (Louisville is fine too)
FL: Orlando (Tampa and Miami fine too)
NY: New York
ME: Portland

@ssuburbanhoops Do you mean boys' basketball only? Nazareth is such a big girls' basketball powerhouse.

According to our sources, Chicago Catholic League have recently been realigned to -BLUE -WHITE -RED for competitive purposes..
With Blue being the most competitive from L-R.
• This alignment is basketball only ‼️
More info coming soon…

Something that gets overlooked in the Birth Rates discourse is that childlessness is down and falling.
16% of 45 year old women have no children, the lowest in 25 years.
A woman born in 1982 is as likely to have a child as woman born in 1923 was!

The media constantly tone polices Democrats and demands they act in a bipartisan manner but never apply that same requirement to Republicans. It's one of the most glaring double standards in politics.

Texas is the clean energy capital of the United States. And a chunk of that is because of their easy permitting, relatively ample transmission, and highly deregulated electricity market. Abundance thinking in energy works.
Daniel Gross@grossdm
Pretty astonishing. In Texas, between 10:00 am and 4:00 p.m., 80-90% of electricity comes from carbon free sources. And storage is already a significant contributor in the early morning and evening

@JBRBracketology Make it late in the season so we can see which non-P5's are most competitive that year
English
We need a scheduling requirement that every D1 team must play a true road non conference game at a Non-P5 each season.
(Should probably be 2 such games but we'll start with 1)

@IVMiles Abortion, immigration, & LGBT+ seems to have consumed a lot of evangelical interest previously in alcohol & gambling

When I was a kid AOC’s position was right-coded, and it’s telling that the new Atlantic City version of the GOP has no interest in legislating on this.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC
This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

Honestly, this is how I felt about Joe Biden's presidency. I saw a nation returning to normalcy, w/sound gov't that dealt w/ the recession, the pandemic, spurred employment and people were out, about and spending again. It was a good situation but too many didn't appreciate it.

Coming to the realization that he was named Sleepy Joe because you could go to sleep at night without worrying about having to monitor the situation next day
