Any thoughts about how Graham’s death affects the political landscape, particularly MAGA?
In all seriousness, I will be curious to see what HCR has to say in upcoming days.
And I can’t say how much I enjoyed the John Mulaney show at Wrigley Field on July 11.
Goodnight friends.

Hi friends. I don’t post much on here, but I am truly hoping a UFC fight in cages on our nation’s lawn did NOT happen for so many reasons!
This is pure posturing, greed and mental illness. And also desperation at its finest. The USA shall return. It depends on us.

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

ICE has attacked citizens, cops and kids in Chicago.
They are killing people in Minneapolis.
Then turn around and lie to our faces.
If this pattern of abuse doesn't warrant a joint investigative task force, what does??

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen.
They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.
