i don’t think they always get it right in the bear, but as a chicagoan, the s1e7 intro montage specifically is the best depiction of the soul of the city i’ve ever seen. hearing lin brehmer’s voice at the start always makes me tear up a little. i love my city

"Rob Henderson has described Mamdani as a poster child for 'luxury beliefs,' a term Henderson coined that is defined as 'ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class at very little cost, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes.'” bostonglobe.com/2025/06/25/opi…

I will never get the mindset of someone coming here, his family becoming millionaires in Hollywood and academia and then saying - you know what, everything about the system that worked for my family in America is trash and needs to be more like a 3rd world autocracy.

❕You know all you need to know about a socialist when they talk more about eliminating rich people than about eliminating poor people. Doing the former has never led to the latter.

Senator Ted Cruz fought heroically in the middle of the night to stop Senator Hirono (+all other DEMs + 3 GOP) from ripping SCHOOL CHOICE out of the One Big Beautiful Bill. He won! Millions of lower income families thank you for your courage, Senator!

thinking about how cool the chicago street grid looks at night. near-perfect order, just like a sheet of graph paper

Chicago should have fireworks on July 4. It’s a celebration of our nation’s independence and a chance to honor the veterans who’ve defended it.

I’ll say it again… Whether it is the maximum 8 hour workday (leading to a 3-year total project length) reconstructing the route from our region’s most important economic center to the busiest airport in the nation, a janitor’s union blocking the construction of a 2500 unit

It’s great to hear Mayor Johnson finally wants to address smoking on the CTA with... social workers, a PR campaign, & community meetings? Without data-driven enforcement of existing laws (like I called for last month), this public health issue will continue to impact riders.

Ryne Sandberg. Second to None.

We can’t ask taxpayers to pay more if the Mayor won’t take a hard look at the City’s own spending and borrowing, especially after raising a long list of fees in his last budget (which I opposed).

"Nothing on my end, thanks!"

Mayor Johnson spent $3.5M of taxpayer money for a Wall St. consultant to review the city's budget amidst our massive deficit. Now he's hiding their report from City Council! If it showed ways to cut waste, he doesn’t want you to see it. Easier to raise taxes than be honest.
