If you consider yourself progressive, don't trust the Chicago Tribune editorial board's endorsements in a Democratic Primary.

If she was still alive, my Irish grandmother would be disappointed to hear this, but I don’t trust the Irish American men running for office.

Somewhere in Maine there is a moose better equipped to run for office than Platner. Please stop defending this shit stain people.

Are you LOL'ing a Nazi tattoo? This is also a pretty disparaging comment to make about people who enlist.

When I vote, I vote for candidates that give me hope. I am not naive, and I know that no candidate is perfect. However, I do know that it is a choice when a candidate or their supporters choose to lie about their opponent or only tell part of a story. Integrity is key.

Oh, I have thoughts. Starting with a lack of a focus on civic education in many schools and an understanding of how local elections really impact national decisions.

Every couple of months, I am so glad to be reminded about this.

This was such a great read!

It shouldn’t be hard!

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Or that spreads misinformation on some candidates and ignores other candidates’ duplicity

There is nothing progressive about a voter guide where the author has told people to not vote.

They are idiots.

Maybe it would have been better if Hellebuyck blocked only 40 shots?

At some point we have to face the sad truth that this array of Administration miscreants are living their HS fantasies. Under what other circumstances would a group of athletes welcome this guy into a locker room celebration?

I love hockey because it's pretty simple. You win when you get a goal. Hellebuyck stopped 41 shots. Hughes got the overtime goal. No debate. USA was better today.

Hellebuyck really is the best. Completely saved and won the game for the USA.

Seriously wow

I hate seeing sad Canadians. But what a game!

Canada vs USA is intense.

This is even with growing up in Chicago with not having hockey available on tv due to the Blackhawks blackout policy.

When your mom is Canadian, hockey is literally ingrained in your upbringing.

Obviously, the other reason was because Vallas is a racist who has caused so much damage in his previous positions.

One reason why I think Brandon Johnson won in 2023 is because he traveled the whole city.

I think if you’re running for office - local, city, state, or federal- I should have seen you in the community prior to 4 weeks before the primary

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans

This is why "Let's give in on some of the trans stuff because it'd be a popular compromise and you have to meet people where they are" is not only immoral but politically stupid.

Republicans were never going to stop there. They stop when you stop them.

When bearing false witness on TV, it's helpful to wear ash on your forehead. How else would anyone ever guess you're supposedly a "Christian"?

Imagine saying you're progressive and then endorsing Brendan Reilly. 🤡

According to The New York Times, Donald's building monuments to himself makes him "an inescapable force."
No.
It simply reminds the world what a pathetic, insecure loser we put in power. And it's humiliating.
