Chicago. Now in IL-08. Socialist/Communist. I like to whisper into the void. Charlie Kirk hater. Proud union trowel tradesman. Baseball/Cubs fan.

Max Miller story is providing incredible cover for the 65 year old NC Republican congressman who was just found to have been texting his female staff shit like "I had to leave the party because you brought your bf with you 🥺"

I'm a unionized quality control inspector who works on both union and non-union jobsites. The difference is stark, and honestly frightening. Repair rates - where something wasn't done right the first time - usually hover around 2-3% on union sites. On non-union sites it's 8-10%.

Today marks one of the holiest days for Shia Muslims. More than 20 million people gather in Iraq every year for Arbaeen, yet it's one of the world's least-covered major events. Zeteo contributor Rida Ali explores the pilgrimage and why it challenges common perceptions of the Middle East.

DL Hughley on Zohran Mamdani: “This Muslim is putting Christians to shame." "There is more to say for a man that lifts the poor, that feeds the hungry, that walks among the people, than powerful white men who consort with a pedophile. Who’s the more Christlike?”
