You have to be freaking kidding me!... Affordable housing developers have to provide diligence forms to city on whether they invested or profited from slavery? Nonsense like this is why Chicago is such a difficult market to build housing.

...can they redo the Chair vote, too? Because I really don't think this is the DNC conversation we'd be having right now if Wikler were running the show.

I don’t recognize him either.

THe Babylon Bee stinks and is not funny at all but this is true

Hey, Jake Tapper 🦅, did you get paid for your soul in one lump sum, or did you choose an installment plan? Oh wait, book advance...that's right. Never mind.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Chicago posts 7th largest population increase in nation, part of a growth spurt that also lifted many suburbs trib.al/F1YfJbJ

Daniel Biss is officially in: the Evanston mayor and former state senator is running to replace retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky in Congress. He is immediately a frontrunner, having almost universal name recognition among Democrats in the 9th District from his run for governor.

I think we need to talk about Jake Tapper's decline.

NEW: A new analysis finds the Chicago Teachers Union and its affiliates spent nearly $2.9M on the 2024 Chicago school board elections, but more than $2.1M (75%) went to losing candidates. This first-of-its kind reporting tracked not only spending directly from CTU, but spending

and there it is: the biggest name to succeed Schakowsky is running. Biss is the very popular Mayor of Evanston and has high name recognition.

It sickening to think that, thanks to Lightfoot’s arrogance, Chicago taxpayers almost paid between $121M & $322M to the folks that own the parking meters.

Most meetings are useless - they're about optics not outcome.

Wait, what? Her partner is CEO of The Onion? No wonder she’s been getting so many puff piece interviews. I guess this makes her carpetbaggery somewhat less repulsive in that she followed her man here, instead of choosing Chicago willy nilly. Seem more of like the proverbial

Stocks getting dumped after hours on a Friday, which is very rare. Market not liking the credit downgrade at all.

This doesn’t Make Life Better for our small businesses or families.

I would venture to guess that Covid 'theft' was way over $1 trillion. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who didn't take a PPP 'loan.' There are wealthy people who bought cars, boats and even built houses with the money .. even as their business boomed.

2/3 of teachers just re-upped with CTU’s militant Marxist clown show. Revisionist, grievance-fueled, proudly anti-merit. Brutal loss for CPS families. Massive win for private schools. CTU should enjoy their new contract while it lasts - AI teaching assistants don’t need pensions!

It's embarrassing that the city of Chicago has to hire a private firm to manage its finances because apparently none of the 50 aldermen nor the mayor or any of his appointees are capable of responsibly managing city finances. It seems both the state and the city routinely
