Good for Pritzker. Though I do wonder how this will play out in the more conservative rural areas of the state (like mine). Semi-related, but the latest Vanity Fair has a piece on Pritzker's sister, Jennifer, who is the black sheep in the family by being conservative. She even donated to 45's first campaign and has given somewhere in the range of seven figures to the GOP over the years. She will not be giving more, though, because of 45's ban on trans service members and the GOP silence about it. (She is trans.) It was an interesting article. The amounts of money these people have is insane. I do not understand conservative LGBTQ folks. Though I do know that even Dems have been slow to recognize their rights

I feel personally attacked. Just kidding...this is one of my favorite things about having candidates come to the State Fair. Especially when they are awkwardly trying to eat the "pork chop on a stick" (which is just a chop with a bone). They are so messy and not at all easy to eat but for some reason people continue to try. Cory will never win Iowa because he is vegan and it is a personal affront to many that he won't eat the chop. A fried peanut butter and jelly doesn't quite measure up.

Another reason I won't run for office: I don't need photos and videos of me going HAM on fair food.

How much money are we spending investigating Epsteins death?
How much money are we spending investigating the SEVEN children who died in US custody?
AND WHY ARENT WE REPORTING ON THAT?
I want justice for Eps victims but I'm really sick and tired of the news focusing on that instead of the atrocities we're committing on our own soil DAILY.

Perfect conman distraction, ma'am. Be super angry and focus all attention on this death so people don't think about the hundreds of other atrocities the administration is committing. Plus, if you focus on his death maybe when news about T being involved comes out it will be overlooked because we are causing such a ruckus about the mysterious death.

Russian villagers who live near where the missile exploded have been told to evacuate.
BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EXPLOSION!!!
I feel like all I'm doing this week is yelling.
Seriously thinking about building a bunker and not coming up for the next five years

I don't like mustard but I am actively encouraging my kid to choose mustard over ketchup because less sugar and sodium. So far he still prefers ketchup.

Team mustard is gross! But mostly just yellow mustard - gag. I have started to come around to spicy, grainy mustard - it has its place on a good charcuterie/cheese board.

Why am I seeing people talking about Fredo on Twitter? Because someone called Chris Cuomo Fredo and he WENT OFF on him.
Let me see if I can find a video.
ETA WaPo story
The unedited video is full of fbombs from Chris and him basically threatening the guy

The protestors thought they would be safe from tear gas, etc if they were inside,
Police have come thru the doors they are now keeping anyone from leaving the airport. but it appears as if the protestors are blocking doors with luggage carts.

So the extradition bill (which started the protests earlier this summer) is 'dead' what they are apparently protesting are the police escalation and brutality and want an independent commission to investigate.
Bejing basically issued a threat 'playing with fire will die by it'.

Police have pulled back or left. (from where they just were)
Protestors have seemed to have left as well.
and as americans we could learn from them, they cleaned up after themselves (posters etc) you can't even tell.
