Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

A clear entertainment gap between the two CL matches on broadcast today. Quite different experiences within the pub. Yet, we progress.

Jaime Andrade, who ran flagrantly untrue ads accusing his opponent Miguel Alvelo-Rivera of supporting ICE, is down big in his reelection bid. Andrade is one of the last vestiges of the Mell political machine

Looney Toons volume of mail from sleazy 40th District state rep Jaime Andrade. This was today’s alone. As a survivor of the Natalie Toro campaign, I am hoping they reach the same fate—quick. No one needs this much Andrade!
