Pritzker says he still believes the Bears could leave for Indiana, but "The reality is, I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money in order to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."
Gov. Pritzker holding a news conference this morning to tout his $56 billion budget and things like a sales tax holiday on school supplies. We’ll also get his reaction to no Bears legislation passing this session

He’s offended because The Odyssey is about something near and dear to him: being an absent father while chasing vanity for 20 years
Chris Nolan desecrated the Odyssey so that he would be eligible for an Academy Award …

At long last, in its glory, it's...a phone. With all the features befitting a...phone.
The T1 Phone has arrived!! Those who pre-ordered the T1 Phone will be receiving an update email. Phones start shipping this week!!!
Community note
Video is AI, US flag has 11 then 9 stripes back texture is inconsistent. Based on the specs the T1 is a rehoused T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G (a 2024 model, which retails on Amazon $126). Wingtech/Luxshare makes it in Jiaxing, Wuxi, or Kunming China. It’s not American made: pnj.com/story/news/202… huffpost.com/entry/trump-mo… gizchina.com/phones/the-tru…

Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran? Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.

It’s summer 2004; Comedy Central’s “Shorties Watchin Shorties” has taken the nation by storm [citation needed]. I emerge victorious from @HISTORY’s offices having successfully pitched a series of cartoons spliced into footage of Iraq War bombing raids—“Shorties Flyin Sorties”

An Alabama woman is headed to trial today for wearing a penis costume at a "No Kings" protest while holding a sign that read "No Dick-Tator." It's hard to think of a clearer example of a sham prosecution that flies in the face of the First Amendment.

It's 2006; you can now smoke, vote, and buy a gun. You just changed your MySpace display name to "Chuck Norris doesn't sleep, he waits," and your first Facebook status—"Joe is voting for Pedro"—is going over huge. This will be the high point of the next decade-plus of your life

Chuck Norris, the martial arts champion who became an iconic action star and led the hit series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” has died. He was 86. Norris was hospitalized in Hawaii on Thursday, and his family posted a statement saying he had died Friday morning: It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace. To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, an incredible brother, and the heart of our family. He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives. While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and for the unforgettable moments we were blessed to share with him. The love and support he received from fans around the world meant so much to him, and our family is truly thankful for it. To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends. We know many of you had heard about his recent hospitalization, and we are truly grateful for the prayers and support you sent his way. As we grieve this loss, we kindly ask for privacy for our family during this time. Thank you for loving him with us. variety.com/2026/film/news/c…

This is funny, but I love how we pretend it matters anymore. By now, “Trump lied” is more of a dog-bites-man story than “dog bites man”
Aides to all four other living US presidents tell CNN’s @Sam_Waldenberg and @jeffzeleny that they haven’t spoken to Trump about Iran. Trump claimed today that a former president endorsed the war by telling him “I wish I did what you did.” cnn.com/world/live-news/iran…
