BREAKING: The Chicago Board of Education votes 12-7 to pass a budget that does NOT include the $200M high-interest loan pushed by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Chicago Teachers Union for more than a year. This is a HUGE win for Chicagoans. Thanks so much to the hundreds

Up those deficit estimates…

The longest political battle of Brandon Johnson’s tenure as mayor of Chicago came to an end on Thursday. And despite stacking the deck heavily in his favor, the mayor lost. How did that happen? And what happens next? Let’s dive in. 🧵

Johnson and the Chicago Teachers Union have pushed Chicago Public Schools to take out a $200 million, high-interest loan for more than a year – leaving a trail of charred political capital in their wake. Consider what happened instead of support for Johnson’s loan ⬇️ • The

This was it. This was the exact moment people stopped caring about anything the CDC does or says. May every single one of them be shown the door.

Chicago Alderman is asked what more can be done about the 50+ people shot over Labor Day weekend in his city. His answer? Trump is a dictator and is normalizing violence.

Let’s be clear about one thing. This entire press conference had one goal and one goal only: to raise JB’s nonexistent odds of winning the 2028 Democratic nomination for POTUS (which currently sit at about 1%). The intended audience was not Chicagoans, who just endured the

Heath care in Canada is free, and you get what you pay for.
