@FlipChicagoRed What do covid restrictions have to do with cost of living?

Throwback… Remember when the Biden administration reversed many Trump-era border policies, and millions of migrants entered the United States during the following years. Immigration became one of the biggest issues facing the country. Then many self-described sanctuary states and cities—including Illinois, New York, and California—used state and local taxpayer dollars to provide services such as shelters, food, health care, and other assistance for migrants. These were also some of the same states that had some of the strictest COVID-19 restrictions. When people talk about the cost of living, don’t forget that state and local policies matter too. Property taxes, sales taxes, city budgets, and spending decisions are made by governors, mayors, and city councils—not just Washington. If you want accountability, look at every level of government. Until we’re willing to have that conversation, we’re not addressing the full picture. FlipsRed.com #ChicagoFlipsRed

Remember: Illinois Democrats care more about protecting illegal immigrants than protecting law-abiding citizens. While Pritzker and Johnson were busy fighting ICE to block the deportation of convicted murderers and rapists, rampant retail crime forced the Chatham Walgreens to close permanently after losing over $1 million.

Oh, is she growing on you? 🙄 Have some self respect.

@leftist_lawyer @neeratanden I’m pretty sure she’s operating as intended. They are supposed to be the noble loser to the right offering no solutions and only spoilers. Helping move the window right. Which is why they are sore losers to the left.

@neeratanden We’re taking it up with you because you brought it up. Why do people pay you to do this when you’re so bad at it?

Take it up with Mike Rogers, not me. He's the one secretly telling his donors that his race gets easier against El-Sayed.

This account just posts the most wild clickbait science headlines with two semi related pictures and absolutely no source or anything else. People just assume whatever they think it means and engage with it. Open the schools.

I'm so fucking tired of centrist failures to vet their candidates, whether it is Swalwell in CA, Andrew Cuomo in New York and now David Crowley in WISCONSIN, A SWING STATE, it's just scandal after scandal. We've got to go with DSA candidates, they are the only ones that can win.

literally a bigot

@cryptoklotz @AutismCapital I want my phone to be smaller and about half as capable. If they made a touchscreen phone that made calls, texted, took decent photos, had a browser, and was the size of the OG Razr folded. I'd be happy.

@AutismCapital yeah if anything i actually want phones to be slightly smaller lol

At a certain point is a foldable phone not just a mini iPad? Or a MacBook Air? Shouldn’t a phone just be a quick little boom in and out communication device?

@AutismCapital I got the 15" M2 Air, and I fucking love it. I was praying for a 15" Air when it released. The biggest downside is the limit of one external screen, but that can be fixed with DisplayLink and a cheap adapter.

You know what product people would actually want? A 15” OLED MacBook Air. That would sell like crazy.

Can anyone explain the foldable phone hype? What’s the deal? Who cares? It just makes the phone more bulky and awkwardly shaped, you don’t need the screens, it’s more expensive, what’s the deal? What do you use it for?

@thekitze What bothers you about it? I've never tried one. I'm just interested to hear from someone who has passed the honeymoon/novelty period.

never again. im selling my fold 7 can't stand it. probably wont get the apple foldable. just use a normal phone.

I'm ok with this. Are you ??

As a former right-wing culture war practitioner, let me just say that if Republicans this year couldn’t talk about “communists,” “transgenders,” “illegals,” “testosterone levels,” “brown & black immigrants,” and “stolen elections,” they’d have nothing…to talk about.

The Power Ballad Era was possibly the worst era of music.

I have one complaint about GPT-5.6 Sol:

@The_JBS Socialists

Getting America out of the United Nations is crucial to protecting our sovereignty. America's future belongs in the hands of the American people, not the foreign socialists who run global institutions.

Apparently Trump’s super sleuths still haven’t made the connection between Trump approving US target intelligence for Ukraine’s deep strikes into Russia, and Russia providing target intelligence to Iran on US sites. Slow learners.

@fred_guttenberg @RashidaTlaib maybe the cancer is the congressperson that's suddenly "growing" on everyone. like a tumor.

Today is Day 1,017 of Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.

@justwatchinrad @neeratanden Can you show me these “pod bros” scapegoating American Jews?

Haley Stevens worked for the Obama Administration's Auto Rescue Task Force. She also worked for his 2008 Presidential campaign. Obama praised her for her work on the auto rescue in 2018. Abdul El-Sayed criticized Obama's policies and didn't want to be compared to him. This seems relevant information to assess here.
