Overnight, 1 shot and killed in the loop. This marks the second shooting downtown this week
Brandon Johnson name plastered over another example of his incompetence you love to see that mouth breather fail
So apparently the whole "bolting-and-welding-in-the-new-west-leaf-thing" was more complicated than first thought. Originally, CTA traffic across the Lake Street bridge was to resume yesterday (Monday); it's been pushed back to tomorrow (Wednesday)

In fact, one of the main arguments against raising taxes—that it will hinder economic growth—does not apply to some deficit-reducing tax increases.
Organizations like @USCBO, @The_Budget_Lab , and @BudgetModel find that they can grow the economy by reducing interest rates.

Billionaire Michael Sacks donated another $1 million to Common Ground Collective, bringing his total to nearly $7 million.
Of the group’s $5.8 million in reported spending, $2.8 million went toward paid media opposing Chicago School Board president candidate Hilario Dominguez.
Maybe this is why you are single as a 40 yr old. Just a hater maybe life is more fun not being a cynical hater
I guess you are okay when a billionaire pays for a woman with no actual policy knowledge to win but an Indian man who actually understands basic policy and knows how to get donations from non billionaires nahhhh

When it comes to any new tax, we need to make sure we're being a good steward of taxpayer dollars before we ask for more.
Mayor Johnson's proposed "nickel and dime" 15 cent / package tax is projected to raise $9 million in 2027.
Let's dig into the mechanics.👇🧵
I like westlooptom for a lot of reasons but the reason Illinois has a lower poverty rate is cause our taxes go to make work jobs for people who you wouldn’t trust to change your light bulb

Eight years ago, 11 Jews were killed and 6 injured while praying at Shabbat services at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh.
This senseless act of anti-Jewish terrorism should remind us that antisemitism is a form of domestic extremism that has no place in a democracy.
Sadly, Jewish institutions — including synagogues — must now spend $1 billion to provide the necessary security so a mass shooting like the one at Tree of Life doesn’t happen again.
Congress must pass my bipartisan Jewish American Security Act to help protect innocent people simply trying to pray.
May the memories of those we lost always be a blessing.

For my latest, I quoted El-Sayed's exact statements that match the 'grocery' ad that everyone agrees is anti-Semitic. Just to be clear that you cannot find one acceptable and the other beyond the pale: commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

Even the Mayor's own CFO says his deficit number is faulty.
The difference in the two? Proposed debt issuance, not revenue or costs.
I appreciate the CFO’s honesty about how additional debt will be seen by ratings agencies.

My values, my identity and my community are far more important to me than any individual election result. Regardless, it’s widely understood that I lost in my particular district for the same reasons this ad is repugnant, blatantly false, and incites even more violence against Jews.
And sadly, you consistently add fuel to this slanderous and anti-Jewish fire.
